There's a special place in my heart for NPR's music site. It's got a ton of great free live shows and all kids of new music. The editorial staff is very good at choosing an eclectic mix of new music so I don't keep listening to the same indie bands....

The most complete resource focusing on t boys choirs, boy sopranos and young singers. Highly recommended !

Anything I want to listen is instantly at my fingertips. This is better than Pandora...it has every song I can think of and I can choose the order in which I listen to it. Not sure why the RIAA hasn't cracked down on this site yet, but I'm going t...

LOVE THIS WEBSITE! If you are a music lover, you will too! This site competes with Pandora, Last.fm and Playlist... but it's my favorite out of all of the music sites I've come across. There are several preselected stations that you can choos...

Austin has a great music scene, and Austin City Limits, the show, for years and years has been featuring the amazing artists that come through the city. Whether or not it's a band that you're normally into or not, ACL turns any band into your favori...

Hearts of Space: Slow Music for Fast Times started life as a syndicated radio show that I used to have to wake up at 5:30 to listen to on Sunday morning back in the olden days before the Internet. It's still broadcast that way, but now is also on th...

Sam Beam seems like an unusual guy. He was a professor of film and cinematography and has a giant beard. But I think he has become one of the greatest contemporary songwriters. Some of my favorite Iron & Wine songs - Passing Afternoon: http:/...

I was a huge *NSYNC fan back in the day so I went here initially to see what my favorite boy band was up to. But JJB offers a lot more for readers-- book and sports discussions,TV shows, celebrity photos. I think there is an intriguing discussion fo...

Pandora keeps on getting better every day. I'm not sure whether or not the musicologists that categorize Pandora's music have been working overtime lately, but something about the site has changed over the past six months. The stations that they c...

Yes, there's a bias towards indie and electronic, but that's A-OK with me, especially the Indie part. An obsession with Hot Chip's Made in the Dark stripped down version actually made me sign up for this Hype Machine business, and boy, was it worth ...

This is one of the major non-torrent file sharing sites; if you see or hear of 'the Russian one' being mentioned, this is probably it. It's a huge, rambling affair with tens of thousands of pages, and although most of the usual file sharing fare is ...

Downloading Chinese POP - This is a great site to join if you are interested in listening to the songs before actually buying the entire CD from YesAsia.com. I think membership is like $80/year for unlimited downloading. Don't forget to delete the...

MTV brings back plain old music videos - I remember when back in the day MTV would actually play cheesy music videos all day long (120 minutes, anyone?). Now you can experience cheesy (and not so cheesy) videos again. Not just from back in the day, ...

I'm not a huge fan of RS's music reviews but I love Peter Traver's movie reviews. He's got great (smart, but not stuffy) taste. My only complaint is that he doesn't review enough movies, often leaving out many good foreign and independent films. Tra...

I'm devoted to last.fm but decided to give songza.fm a try. There's something I like about it but I can't pinpoint just what that is. The interface is super simple and some of the songs come with the appropriate, accompanying Youtube video. There ar...

A Belgian blog featuring the author's choice of what is, was and might still be cool in the various worlds of design. I think he chooses well, it's unpretentious (though the content may well not be) and a relaxing coffee-timekiller.
