Eminem’s “Recovery”
July 1st, 2010 Posted by Bea
Well, Eminem has come out with yet another album. I believe that this is his seventh studio album and it is another success! I actually had no clue that he has come out with so many albums until recently, but it does make sense. He has been a stable artist and has continued (minus a 3-year hiatus between 2006-2009) to have a presence in the music world ever since I started listening to music; this is something I will commend him for because he is not someone who went big and then went home.
Recovery, which followed Relapse and was...
Musicovery

Looking for a unique way to discover new music? I stumbled upon Musicovery.com and was immediately swept in by its innovative and effective design.
Musicovery is a music bank, organized in a way that you might not have seen before. Are you familiar with political compasses? They tell you just how far left or right you fall on the economic scale, but also whether you tend to fall on the libertarian side or the authoritarian side. What's this got to do with music? On Musicovery, you "pick" your music by moving the cursor on two distinctive "musical" compasses....
Coming Soon
April 29th, 2010 Posted by Louise
Albums are constantly being released; it's hard to keep up. On April 27 alone, we saw notable releases, such as Mary Chapin Carpenter's Age of Miracles, Melissa Etheridge's Fearless Love, Peter Frampton's Thank You Mr. Churchill, Jim Brickman's Never Alone, Daddy Yankee's Daddy Yankee Mundial, Miranda Cosgrove's Sparks Fly, and Tonic's album Tonic, hit the stores along with another dozen or so others. It's impossible to keep up with all of the new releases, and still difficult to even keep up with the artists that you already know.
I hate when I miss the release of a new albums of one...

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)
February 9th, 2010 Posted by J Frazzetta
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...
