Hey, Someguy..
A lot of sites now have the amazing property of turning you on to new music.. if you go to someone's myspace page, say, your favorite cool band... you can see their "friends" sites.. lots of musical connections that you would never make, but you just click through to find new cool stuff.
On myspace music sites, for instance, you can listen to up to five or so songs, for free, then click through the associated sites to find other cool stuff.

(As far as downloading free music, I don't things that's generally fair to musicians, unless they offer it for free.. listen to it then buy it for less than you would pay in a CD retail environment. )

Same with Netflix, Rhapsody, Amazon.. you can find out what other people who liked what you liked are listening to or watching.

Or go to YouTube.com and look up your favorite musician, you may find stuff that is not on a CD, such as live shows with other guest musicians, etc.. say, you like Norah Jones; you can find her singing with Emmy Lou Harris, Willie Nelson, or Bonnie Raitt, for an example, or Bob Dylan with Mark Knopfler, or other cool people. Same with Rhapsody.. find your favorite music, then find other similar music, or music that people who liked what you like, like, you know.. like.. ; )

Huffington Post looks like a good liberal blog.. I've read stories from there and just took a look at it. Grist.com is okay, too. You can go to Slate, or Salon.com - Breaking news, opinion, politics, entertainment, sports and culture. (https://www.salon.com) for more liberal, literate stuff. For liberal activism, check MoveOn.org: Democracy in Action (https://www.MoveOn.org), and get on their mailing list if you want a sh**load of information and options to get involved; just visit the site, if you don't. (If you are a right winger or middle-of-the-road, I guess you are on you're own.. ; )

TED: Ideas worth spreading (https://www.ted.com) is an awesome place to find stuff about the arts, science, philosopy.. at a much higher level information and stimulation than the 99 per cent of what's "out there". PLEASE check this on out.. it's really a high quality site. I found some cool stuff on the PBS site, too.. very high quality video and music, such as the Stevie Wonder Concert that President Obama attended, recently, or the Paul Simon tribute show. (actually, I'm having trouble finding the Paul Simon Show.. )

The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song | PBS (https://www.pbs.org/inperformanceatthewhitehouse/)


This is what Google is handy for.. enter the artist and search google video or type in the name of the musician plus the site you want to find it on..

Well, try that and see what you find.. Google will help you find what you want, if you type in exactly what you want or as much as you know, anyway..

This was a great video! Im looking forward to seeing more. Thanks Hales.

Hey Hales,

Since you turned me onto PBS, I thought Id share a great band and performance I found on the site. Check it out. Soundstage - Umphrey's McGee (https://www.pbs.org/wttw/soundstage/umphreys/bio.html)

Music Sites:
- Pandora.com (give it a song or artist and it will create a radio station of songs with similarities... I once gave it a bluegrass song and the station eventually played Bjork)

- Last.fm (similar to above, but stays within a genre)

- Musicovery.com (tell it the tempo and dark/lightness of the music you want. You can also pic certain genres and time periods)

TED is fantastic! Highly recommended. Also, This American Life is absolutely brilliant. They have been NPR/PRI since '97 or so, and have 100's of episodes archived on their site that you can stream for free. Amazing...my very favorite piece of media out there www.thislife.org (https://www.thislife.org)
