Hype Machine, the machine of hype
Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 2:22AM
What's better than a blog about music? A website about blogs on music, that's what.
The Hype Machine collects tracks posted up in the blogosphere and compiles it into a convenient and delicious casserole of links. There's something for everyone (no tuna though), from b-sides, to live recordings, and yes, even unreleased tracks that have been leaked. And for the schizophrenic, there are "mash-ups" such as this nice little diddy with The Cure's "Close To Me" and TLC's "No Scrubs." However, you don't have to gorge yourself on obscurity and idiosyncrasy if you don't want to. There's also plenty of AC/DC and Michael Jackson to go around the table. For those who are about to websurf, we salute you.
