The Internet is full of useful stuff.
Here's our take on useful:
Music in General
- Music Plasma
A beautifully designed site that graphically maps out the musical relations between (almost) any given band.
- Insound
Online music store for all your indie, grunge, and emo needs. Also, lots of free mp3s.
- MetaCritic
Summarizes a whole medley of reviews for an album and presents them all on one easy-to-read page.
- Purevolume
Like a fitting room for music. Try a few bands on for size, without having to commit to (or wait for) the download.
- New Music Canada
Lists nearly every Canadian band out there right now, good, bad, or ugly. Thank the CBC.
