As you may have noticed I like to link to the baby jesus.
When I was living with my favourite roommate (holla back Golden Hawk!) I may or may not have deprived myself of precious sleep in favour of hitting the next link/blog/review site/downloading page until 4am.
Interesting tidbit. I had a first year English class with a sassy mamacita with whom I would start the homework for the next day 8:30 AM class (water!water!water!loo!loo!loo!) around 2:30AM and we had a tried and tested theorem that 3AM crack produced genius results and 4AM crack provided answers that made the teacher check the 'Needs remedial training' box. Crack being a euphemism for level of brain tiredness. I wasn't actually an episode of Intervention (which is a harrifying show) through university.
What doesn't help me? Genius from iTunes. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some iTunes. They are fostering my inability to listen to more than one artist at a time (if I make it through a song) - although, side rant, how many artist are TRULY trying to tell a story through an album as opposed to selling singles? No - really, tell me. I'll listen to anything.
Ahem - what I do like is, above all, just following my personal saviour, the interwebs. It never ends! It's a series of tubes! any music blogger/review/aficionado/artist/appreciater is going to link to something. Just go down the rabbit hole, you'll be fine.
For those who like lists though here you are - Vice Reviews, Soundcloud (which is amazing for remixes/mashups/never heard before), 8Tracks, I follow a ton of sites (rolling Stone, Hype magazine, etc) on Twitter, Blog compilation, Grooveshark - etc. etc.
There are a million out there and really I post to Facebook all the time as I am really eager to share - made me happy, why not you? If you're happy who around you will you make happy? It's a joy hurricane! HOORAY!
A special shout out to J Baldy who has gifted me some of my all time favourite tracks and is truly generous with sharing the gems he finds. Like these - Send him back because I can't forget
