New Music Discovery

Today's post is all about finding new, awesome tracks via el interneto. Recently two tools, both very different in how they work, were created and are excellent for just that. Without further ado:

Shuffler.fm

Internet radio via blogs. It's pretty great. You choose a genre of music and it takes you from music blog to music blog, playing you songs you might have heard, or in most cases, some new, noteworthy shit. Give it a whirl.

Extension.fm

An iTunes that's populated as you browse. This thing is awesome. Say you go over to the hype machine and listen to a few tracks. Well, if you have Extension.fm all the downloadable mp3s on Hypem get uploaded into a nifty little browser version of iTunes, there for you whenever you want. One downside, it's currently only available for Google Chrome browsers (which sucks, but it made me download chrome, and the Extension.fm plug-in is certainly worth the trouble).

And what would a new music thursday post be without a killer jam?
As you wish:

In joy.
