More cool websites to check out

So with my daytrotter post a ways back, I felt the need to share a few other music websites I've been keeping tabs on. Don't worry, this post isn't going to be about pitchfork or hypemachine, though those can be worth checking every so often.

Seeqpod is a music streaming website with that searches every little crevice of the web to find eactly what you want. Seriously, I have found everything from motown to indie to post romantic classical music. If its on the web, chances are you can find it on seeqpod. They also have a crisp, smooth layout that allows you to simply drag the songs you want into your playlist. It's sites like this that give you hope that at least some people understand the internet and are moving forward. The only downfall is that it doesn't allow you to download the music from the site, but then the RIAA would probably slap a lawsuit on that in an instant. For what it does, seeqpod doesn't leave you wishing for more. It's good, use it.

I am all about the finding new material from my favorite artists. With the all the changes and craziness in the music industry now, artists need get working and continually give us the listeners something new. Sites like daytrotter work just in that way. Give you sweetly unique works for art from your favorite artists. The internet allows you to broadcast anything to your listeners, even say an intimate solo performance in the back of a cab. The Black Cab Sessions is exactly that. Taking artists from all sorts of genres, they get into the back of a cab and video them doing what they do best. Lucky cab drivers. But sites like these are going pushing the music industry in a positive direction. I've only checked out a few so far but the Bon Iver segment was stunning. They have performances from Death Cab For Cutie, Fleet Foxes, and The Kooks just to name a few obvious favorites. Check it out and show some support. We ultimately choose what fails and succeeds in the music business. Enjoy.
