RIAA Radar

by 1 other
The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA Radar works in two ways: if you're looking to stop buying RIAA releases, it will help tell you what albums to avoid (or purchase secondhand); if you are looking for new music or new alternatives, it works to promote non-RIAA releases by providing similar RIAA-free albums to almost any RIAA release, and RIAA-free popularity charts for several genres in order to showcase viable alternatives.

Totally Fuzzy MP3Blog Search

"Search well over 1300 Music Blogs from here. Credits go to herr k for the OPML files and to gravybread for his mega mp3 site list http://gravybread.wordpress.com/mega-mp3-site-list/ used to doublecheck and verify the OPML listed sites. Without Powermarks (powermarks.com) this would have taken a couple of weeks instead of one very long day."

Six-Word Reviews of 763 SXSW Mp3s by Paul Ford - The Morning News

by 1 other
"I recently downloaded the SXSW 2008 torrent file, which contains nearly 48 continuous hours of music from 763 acts appearing this week at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas (these bands elected to give away MP3s; they represent less than half of the total number of acts). I found myself wondering how to locate the songs worth hearing, and imagined that others were having the same problem. Thus, the 763 reviews you’ll find below. For brevity, I kept each to exactly six words."
