Pandora’s on the ropes, Imeem is taking off, Grooveshark relaunched today with recommendations and a long list of cool features, Blip.fm threatens to make Muxtape look like old news - the streaming music market online is expanding and contracting faster than a stadium rocker’s pupils.
We want to love IdioMag more than anyone for this. This little service grabs your publicly available musical taste data from other services, like Last.fm and Pandora, and then builds a “personalized music magazine” for you. For whatever…

Pandora is an internet radio service that allows you to create your own radio station based on songs and artists that you like.

I hate to be the voice of dissent but they've been saying they're about to go under for at least a year. It's partly their own fault though. They refuse to consider any options apart from getting the record industry to see reason….

BONUS: Ever wanted to know what the Touch My Body music video would have looked like if a 13-year-old desperate for her Daddy’s love made a music video to it? I encourage you not to click here to find out. (No, really,…

Diamonds in the Rough is a fantastic documentary about the role that hip-hop is playing in organizing the anti-war/anti-poverty movement in Uganda. Narrated by Michael Franti, it tells an gripping story of the way that Ugandan rappers risk political reprisals by creating anthemic rhymes that tell the stories of the victims of the bloody civil war.
I'm glad you're interested in the “badass warrior” aspects of African tribal culture, but that's hardly representative of all African people. For instance, cattle blood is not, and has never been, part of my diet. My only…
