Information Travels Faster

So maybe I'm slow or something, but I found this awesome site only now. And I just happened to stumble upon it. Gives me the chills even to think about how much great new music I might have missed without this lucky and fortunate find.

Because that's what Hype Machine does; it monitors a vast amount of music blogs around the internet and brings music featured in them together, providing top charts, the mp3s in question for an easy listen (either on a flash player, the music player of your choice or internet radio stream) and direct links to the blogs themselves. Awesome! Keeps you up to date on what people are buzzing about in the music scene. Brings new singles and other hot songs to you before you even hear about them through the conventional channels. And what's most convenient it saves you the trouble of trying to find on your own good blogs to follow AND googling them and the songs you want to hear. Neat! Easy! Fast!

I actually found a couple of other services like this after I got interested in the concept. This one however seems after a quick glance to be the simplest to use and it appears to feed the most comprehensive list of blogs. A lot of them seem to concentrate on indie(ish) music, which makes the whole thingy even better :)

I'm so loving internet right now!
