Thesixtyone.com is my new preference for listening to music over Grooveshark. While I do love using Grooveshark and being able to have the ability to check out pretty much any song I ever could imagine and then being able to save those songs on to a playlist, I rarely use Grooveshark to break out from my typical music and find new stuff. This is where thesixtyone comes into play.
Being sick of the same old stuff, I discovered thesixtyone and started on my musical adventure. The interface of the site just recently changed, so I still am getting used to it,

Expose Yourself! (To new music, silly)
When it comes to keeping up with what is new and fresh in music, I find the radio is not the only place you can use. You need to have reliable sources that can give you the best scoop on what to listen to. I’m going to list some of my ideas and let you decide for yourself.
First, your public library is a good start. Going through their music to find new albums, or just stuff that is new to you, is a great place to discover things. You can skim a few magazines like Rolling Stone or Spin, but

Song Memories From Youth
As you grow older memories become a greater part of your life. This makes perfect sense as you have a greater pool of topics to pull memories from.

Many of the song stories that are being shared at Song Journals deal with the events of youth. In our week-long study of how songs move people, we are going to look at the musical memories of youth:

Love, Music, and Memories
In my continuing exploration of music and the memories that it creates, my study heads to affairs of the heart. If you look at newly released Song Journals, you will see that many people share their feelings about songs and loves they still have or have lost to the sands of time.
These same feelings were evident in the responses I received as I interviewed people from around the globe:

Songs and The Memories They Evoke
The concept behind a new Web site, Song Journals, which launches today, is that people get a place to share their memories that are associated with a piece of music. This site gave me the idea to ask random people about their song memories and see what I got back. Interestingly enough, I got an amazing response! The response was so vast that I decided to make a three part series out of the concept.
The first part shares responses in which music made a person remember the loss of someone dear to him or her:
