Music Galore

Here's a couple radio/music resources that I totally dig:

MP3Blogs are awesome. There's a great wealth of them out there, practically a dozen for almost any genre out there, here's some of my favorites:

http://stereogum.com - independent music, making fun of Brit Brit and other top dollar celebs.
http://fluxblog.net - all sorts of genres, all under-exposed, check out their HUGE blogroll as well.
http://sixeyes.blogspot.com - mostly rock, covers great contemporary folk music as well.
http://cocaineblunts.com - hippity hop.
http://www.catchdubs.com/ - a writer for Fader magazine who is a DJ and covers some great music.
http://www.londonlee.com/blog.html - soul music.
http://www.negrophonic.com/words/ - "dj/rupture does critical thinking about digital culture and drops the occasional bizarre great mp3, that is really a cyberculture site/modern ethnography site with an occassional mpfree" says Chris Jay, media minded educational film programmer and rapper (and my partner in crime).
http://ofmirroreye.net/blog/ - eclectic and analytical. Check out that great Rolling Stones picture!

Audio Programs:
Sonar/Cakewalk goodness. Sonar is an interestingly complicated audio program, but once you get a short introduction it's really easy to get the hang of. There's trial versions on their site, and if you like 'em you can buy 'em
Fruity Loops is a sequencer in which you can make beats, loops and other fun things. They also have a trial version, but be warned, this is just as addictive as Garageband.

Radio Fun:
KEXP's webstream plays a great eclectic mix of music from college radio indie rock, to hip hop to bluegrass to live DJ's. They also have podcasting.

Old Time Radio. This is the good stuff.

Other Things:
Finally, this is the first song I ever made in Garageband. It features the funky bass line Bret used in class and lots of recorded vocals with effects, there aren't any lyrics yet because I haven't had a chanced to record/write them yet. Feedback appreciated. It's for a band that I just got involved in that I can tell you more about if you leave me a comment saying you're interested.

Also, you can find some great bands on MySpace.com . I'm on it, and from there you can reach some of my favorite Shreveport-area bands, including the Pillage People, and The Vidrines.
