Music is a big part of my life--I listen to it constantly and love going to shows, mainly indie rock. I was a little helpless in this department when my ex and I split since he was the one who kept me up-to-date with music news and downloads. I couldn't let my passion for rock die with the relationship so I dabbled in a number of blogs and tools to keep it alive.
I subscribed to emusic.com so I can download music legally, conveniently and at a good price. The promise of 75 free downloads with a subscription was just too good to pass up. emusic is less expensive than iTunes and more focused than Amazon.
They have the majority of the music that I want and cater to my musical preferences, which I like. I can easily get immersed in the site for *hours sampling and downloading music, reading reviews and interviews, viewing videos and pictures, etc. *That is if I had hours to spare, now I do it in minutes.
To keep up with what is happening with my favorite artists, I discovered the awesome iConcertCal, an iTunes plug-in. This genius little tool scans my music library and creates a personalized calendar of upcoming concerts and CD releases, with links directly to purchase tickets and/or music.
Lastly, I rely on Pitchfork, the indie rock go-to source, and Brooklyn Vegan, a NYC-centric music blog, to get the latest music news.
All of these, worth my while for sure--what would life be without a soundtrack?
