Here's my Christmas gift of my readers. I doubt there are many, but that doesn't matter. That means that there is just enough to gather around a small bonfire in this cold sting of a winter and sip on hot chocolate while I attempt to play Sofia Luz, my guitar. There are enough mugs in my house for the thousands,yet so few of us who never grow ill of unwrapping a new, shiny song or artist. There's nothing better than finding an artist of the past. But, if the artist is still alive, heck, you probably have the opportunity to see him/her/them show off their musical chops at pretty cool venue.
My petite Christmas gift to you is a list of my resources; I'm telling you how to have my never-satisfied eye for music.
Paste Magazine http://pastemagazine.com/ Where I read about my favorite artists
Stereo Gum http://stereogum.com/ Where I can get free downloads of songs by new underground bands
Daytrotter http://daytrotter.com/ Where I can discover new bands while picking up live sessions for free
Pandora http://pandora.com/ Where I can create my own radio stations tailored by what I already listen to and enjoy while the station unveils new artists for me with every use
MSN Music http://music.msn.com/inconcert/ Where I can watch my favorite mainstream artists perform live with amazing picture and sound quality (vs. YouTube)
YouTube http://youtube.com/ Where I can find ancient and sheer music videos, as well as see live footage of a bucket and a half of my favorite artists
MySpace http://myspace.com/ Its music makes up for what Facebook lacks; where I discovered some of favorite artists of all time; artists themselves offer free downloads and display blogs all in one place
More on Christmas...
That's all, folks! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! (You'll hear from me before '09 ;)
Title: "Happy Holidays!" in Latin
