Blogger itself has some pretty good pages with some pretty good people who listen to some pretty good music. Though everyones interest vary as i have noted multiple times before, anyone can find a page by simply typing in a artists name followed by blogspot into the google search engine and should be able to find pages written about that artists and dedicated to them. Some pages include free downloads and other posts about well, other artists. Most pages also include links to other blogger pages were people have done similar things.
Last.fm: this site helps you learn more about bands and assists you in your journey of new music discoveries. They have links to youtube videos, and has tabs which contain pictures and artists who are similar to those you are on the page of. There is a large variety of artists and a pretty much never ending list of those whom you should listen too. Just click and click and click.
Myspce has become a place for bands to gain fans and get discovered. Lately there has been a growing number of bands and artists who have become famous because they were discovered on this site. Anyone can make a page and therefore anyone has the chance to get discovered. This site also helps people in finding new bands because you can browse through genres and through and artists friends. A lot of artists and bands befriend other artists and band who have similar sounds because they tour and perform together. This makes it easier also for those such as myself to embark aon the never ending search for new bands who are not well known and posses that drive to get on top and the skill to get there.

Music Player on Shuffle
Song One:
Song-Whole lotta shaking going on
Artist-Jerry Lee Lewis
Great song by a well, definitely musically talented man. He had done some strange things in his life (watch great balls of fire to understand). He was controversial in that way but all who listen can approve of his music now.
Recommendations-
Little Richard: great man who made great music as well. He has made a big impact on this world and i hope that all of you know who he is and therefore i don't even feel the need to write any of his songs down.
Chuck berry whom i'd assume most people already know of and have heard. (roll over Beethoven...Johnny b goode...no particular place to go)
Song Two:
Song-Walking after Midnight
Artist-Patsy Cline
Just hearing her name most aren't aware that they have heard songs from this artists. She has popular hits such as crazy. If you were to go and look it up i am sure you could instantly recognize it. Her songs are played on legends 102.7 so listen!
What a beautiful woman.
Recommendations-Well i don't really listen to music like hers too often so i would have to recommend that if you like this to listen the The Shangri-Las. All female band with some wonderful songs.
Song Three:
Song- I Wanna Be Your Dog
Artist- The Stooges
Legendary punk band. If you don't know them look em upppppp. They have been a part of the building blocks of todays punk and other older punk bands. A lot of people can probably say that they have seen pictures of Iggy too so go on and type them in your google search engine. It'll be well worth your time.
Recommendations- The Ramones. Well that name pretty much just speaks for itself. You have heard of them but weather or not you've listened to them is the question. Most have but once again if you haven't do it. They have many memorable hits that are easily recognizable.
Song Four:
Song- Big take Over
Artist- Bad Brains
They used to be a band frequently played in the old days of Mtv. They have a puck sound with a vocalist that makes them rememberable and easily able to distinguish as well as recognize. They formed back in the 70's and have been said to be considered pioneers of hardcore punk. Well....
Recommendations- Circle Jerks
These guys have a similar sound musically speaking. Their lyrics are strange and surely entertaining.
Black flag. Hope you have heard of them. Their band logo has been tattooed on many bodies all over. COme on people you know Henry Rollins and if you know HEnry Rollins you must know Black Flag. It IS avid for you to listen to a Black Flag album if you have even heard his name before.

I have not watched watched much television lately and therefore cannot complain about much HOWEVER i do need to bring up the point that Lady GaGa is wearing a leather Jacket with GISM and Doom on it. I in a million years never would have guessed that some one like lady Gaga or any famed celebrity with pop and dance songs would wear something like this...EVER. Some of my friends cannot get over this and have been talking about it all week, Recently i finally watched the video myself and was definitely surprised and in shock by this. If you don't understand by bewilderment it is simply because you are not familiar with the genre i am associating this band wit hand therefore would have to listen to them yourself in order to understand.The beginning entire video does not seem to fit together, at least in my opinion it did not. It appears as though it is a bunch of small advertisements thrown together into a story. As i think about it i am torn between believing she would actually listen to this and that she just wears it because well...because of who she is. B9 is all over this, they have their opinions flying for pages. GaGa is all over. End.
Haven't listened to much radio either. Frankly it is pretty boring and down right stupid. They play all the same things and play nothing. When i do actually listen to the radio though i would prefer to listen to legends 102.7. Great station, great people. They play oldies sure but at least they are good. Sure they do not get around much on regular stations but that is because most others do not even care about GOOD music. This channel plays good music and i recommend that everyone listens to it. At least once in a while.
As for television haven't watched much of that. Sure i have watched some music videos but lately i have been forced to rely on the Internet for i am tired of trying to watch them on television. It is way to annoying to sit through commercials and bad videos to watch one that interest me. Except that recently commercials on the Internet have been upping the frequency for which they are appearing. There are more of them more frequently. Simply to play a game i have had to sit through a minute of them and before each video i have to sit through commercials as well. I guess computers are turning into some sort of televisions themselves. I do not want TV to go away but who knows maybe one day all entertainment on TV will have to be viewed on computer screens instead.

MTV
MTV otherwise known as music television station. When MTV first came along it was all about bringing music to life without a face to face performance and letting you see what maybe was is behind the music. Lately however it seems that MTV no longer focuses on music. At least not as it's number one. Shows like the buried life, cribs, My Life As Liz and other shows have taken over the time blocks. I can even remember that when i was younger i could look forward to seeing actual music videos being played when i turned to that Chanel. Now i only expect to see another person who wrote a letter and got their own TV show to be playing. Some are not even related to music at all. Sure you must please the people and entertain them to keep in business but really how many of the same shows can we be expected to watch. If i want to listen to music and maybe find something knew i shouldn't have to wait for all the crappy life reflections programs to pass before i get what i really do want. of course there are times where i do not mind to watch shows such as these but when i want to watch music videos it should not be as much of a hassle as it seems to be these days. Oh the Internet... it is what i have ended up becoming dependant on when i do decide to watch a music video. They are all out there floating around somewhere and finding them usually is not to hard. Anyways things have been developed to make things easier on us but in a way it has made us weaker and more dependent on other types of resources. I like TVs and i enjoy having one except that it has been getting more and more of a rip off with less and less entertainment. Most of my music had come from the Internet, because i do not have time to wait around for something good to come on TV, and because there are more places to go to potentially find something i would be interested in. I do not mind the variety but i do miss the ol TV, remote and couch form of entertainment, musically speaking of course. Music videos were the new thing and were exciting for everyone when it first come along. Unfortunately like everything else people get bored and need new things to keep them entertained. I guess MTV decided that we should give every rich kid a TV show doing whatever they wanted and hoped we would fall in love with them...it seams as though a large percent of the population must have because they keep on keeping on with the wretched shows.
I guess though like with everything else in life, peoples interests change and what is important to them changes as well. Music has seemed to be no exception to this. Over time music was one of the sole methods of expression. When people rebelled they had music, when they were happy they had music, and when they were sad they had music to get them by and share all their ideas. As time has gone on people have found new ways to do this and it seems to be done without the help of music. Like record player and tape players have come to pass it appears as though the music television era is winding down. Soon another will come along and pass then another and another. Till then lets enjoy and good stations that there are left before they disappear and exist only in memories and as revelations of the past.
