the quest for new music…
about a year ago i bought a new mp3 player and got all gung ho about putting new music on it. to date, i have only created one mix and have listened to it for the past year. don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love all of the songs on here…but sometimes it gets old. it has been put on my mp3 player and taken off about 10 times over the course of the year, but it always comes back.
earlier in the evening i started thinking about how out of touch i am with music and need to find a way to get back finding (GOOD) new music. of course, then i realize i have subscriptions to paste AND spin. if i had bothered to even open the magazines and flip through them i bet i could have found one or two songs from what look like interesting bands streaming on the web. and of course, there is always youtube.
i should also mention i have a been receiving these magazines through a subscription for the better part of the year and have never opened a single one. yikes. i do recycle!
anyway…
paste magazine comes with a sampler cd each month and i ripped the one from november and thought i would give it a whirl. i have to admit…it’s pretty good. and i wanted to share. (i copied and pasted the track listing from the website so if you click on the links…it’s your own fault) DOWNLOAD SAMPLER
