“I’m gonna break it down to you, and it’ll change your life, alright? I feel as though music is everything. Let me show you why. Everything’s just molecules vibrating, and vibrations are the frequency of sound — so then we’re all built from sound. Everything is built from sound, so that we are music. That’s why it changes us.”
- Darius ‘Slim’ Merchant, WEGL 91.1 DJ.
With iPods and mp3 players, music is everywhere in our world today. At college, however, not only is music everywhere, but it’s playing all the time, at full blast, in your headphones in the library, in your face, in your sleep or when you’re trying to sleep, etc.
So, sometimes the music gets kind of old. Finding some new jams can be a challenge. It’s certainly a lot easier with sites like Pandora, last.fm, and services like Spotify, but with those you either have to wait for a really good song to play or spend a good amount of time searching until you find something you really like.
Fortunately I’m pretty lazy and impatient and I’ve found a maybe-solution that might help you if you’re lazy and impatient like me.
Music blogs and review sites!
I mean, these sites listen to everything for you, rate it, and recommend which songs are best. It truly does save a lot of time and listening to lackluster tracks.
Granted, I am just one person with my personal preferences in music and they are limited, but below are a few recommended and some of my favorite review sites and blogs to frequent for new music.
