25 nejlepších hudebních webů dle Indipendent

10.11.2009 | Ruda | 0 komentářů(Zobrazit)

The Indipendent se rozhodl podělit o seznam 25 dle jedné z redaktorek nejzajímavějších hudebních webů. Možná tam váš oblíbený (myspace.com, last.fm, Live Music Archive, NME atd.) chybí, ale níže uvedené odkazy rozhodně stojí za prohlédnutí.

The quietus

Late last year the creators of The Quietus decided to design a website catering for the intelligent music fan between the ages of 21 and 73. The site, which comprises quality music criticism of the kind you'd find in broadsheet supplements, including reviews features, has been growing ever since. They've already put on gigs in London at Madame Jojo's White Heat night and The Lexington, and are now planning to work with live promoters, festivals, radio stations and book publishers.

MBV

"Sickened by bad design and flashy ads on blogs full of cynical postings made for diverting Google traffic, some of the top music bloggers formed a coalition to create a superblog," says Sean Adams, editor of drownedinsound.com. "An abundance of clean white space ensures everything focuses in on the recommendations of the very best (new) music, as well as pointing readers toward some of the finest writing on the web. It's refreshingly digestible and manages to create an authoritative, human voice."

Better than the van

Better Than the Van is an essential option for penniless gigging bands looking for a place to crash. The site has built up a community of music fans offering their homes to bands on the road, and it puts touring musicians in touch with their fans. Musicians who offer others a base for the night can also simultaneously publicise their own music by posting their MySpace/website/Facebook address.

City sounds

A mash-up of the photography website Flickr, where amateur photographers can display their pictures at an online gallery for anyone to view and comment on, and SoundCloud, where users can post their own songs for other users to listen to, which lets you hear the latest tracks from around the world. With 4,258 tracks, London has the most songs up, but you can also hear songs from users in New York, Buenos Aires, and Montreal, and filter the tracks in terms of popularity, too.

Black cab sessions

What do Brian Wilson, Speech Debelle and Noah and the Whale have in common? They have all performed in the back of a London cab. The concept ? which features a new "gig" each week ? comes from the promoters Hidden Fruit after they put on a gig with the folk singer Johnny Flynn. The webcast was so popular that they continued, and now you can watch archived performances from the site.

eMusic

Emusic is primarily a subscription site for downloading music, and here the music fan can listen to snippets of tracks before buying. Also, to help you discover new music, emusic reviews the latest albums and offers interviews with new and established bands. Based on your buying history, emusic recommends other artists you might be interested in.

Spotify

There are plenty of sites allowing you to stream music, but none so user-friendly as Spotify. New songs are added all the time: the Sweden-based site now holds more than five million tracks on their catalogue, and are adding roughly 10,000 tracks a day ? which the listener can stream for free. If you are not already subscribed to Spotify, you're missing a treat. Furthermore, you can build your own playlists and send them on to friends.

Pitchfork

"Every year hundreds of music sites start-up, trying to find new and innovative ways to discover music online," says Ian Hogarth of Songkick. "Some of those sites blow up, only to fade away a couple of years later. I think Pitchfork is probably the only example of a true online music institution. Founded 14 years ago in 1995, before Napster, before Google, before Facebook, Pitchfork was there for us, providing a voice with integrity. If you've not found it yet, you should do."

Songkick

Since it was started, it has become much more than a site for gig listings. As well as recommending gigs in your local area that match your tastes, Songkick also works as a forum for music fans to document their gigging, with photos, links and their own reviews.

Daytrotter

For free access to specially recorded sessions, Daytrotter is your first port of call. Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird and Bonnie Prince Billy have all recorded sessions for the site. "We are not giving you songs from someone you love's record album, thereby stealing from someone you love," the site states. "We're giving you exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favourite bands."
http://www.daytrotter.com

Rock's back Pages

John Doran, editor of thequietus.com, recommends Rock's Back Pages: "It's an archive of classic interviews and profiles covering the 60s to the modern day with beer, sweat, blood and tear-stained missives from Julie Burchill, Jon Savage, Lester Bangs and others. If I'm researching a big name feature, RBP is the first place I turn to."

Popjustice

There are lots of sites dedicated to alternative and indie music, but less catering for the mainstream pop scene. Popjustice is one that sets its sights firmly on the charts. It's funny and opinionated, with a daily pop briefing, song of the day and interviews with top pop stars.
http://www.popjustice.com

Mixcloud

Promoting itself as "re-thinking radio", mixcloud.com is an online radio station created by the user. Upload and promote your radio show, DJ mix or podcast for free, and then listen to shows created by other users. The site owners say: "We got frustrated trying to find new radio shows and podcasts around the web. So we built Mixcloud to make it easier for everyone to discover content they like.
http://www.mixcloud.com

Caught by the river

"Formed by the staff of Heavenly Records as "an antidote to indifference", the Caught By The River blog features thoughts and reminiscences on fishing, nature, music, film and art," says Luke Turner of thequietus.com. "The result is a entertaining website that flows down a far different course from the Blackberry-addicted, beery bustle of the music industry."

Gorilla vs bear

Once called "The New Yorker of hipster blogs", and hailed as "influential" by Newsweek, the Texas-based Gorilla vs Bear blogs about the most relevant artists of the moment with no particular genre-specific focus. It's good for news on cutting-edge and left-field indie, folk and rock acts, to pick up some worthwhile free MP3s, and for decent commentary.

Kanye West

There are few artist blogs worth a regular stop-off, but Kanye West's is an exception. At the moment, you'll find an array of fashion photos, but the star, who has been blogging for two years, also posts his latest news. It was also the forum for his recent apologies to Taylor Swift after he interrupted her MTV Award collection.

We7

"This is a brilliant site that allows you to listen to tracks for free without having to download or install any software," says Nichola Browne, editor of Kerrang. "It features nearly four million tracks and allows you to stream them, compile playlists, and send them to friends. Plus you don't have to register,. It allows people to try before they buy and proves that there is an easy way of sampling new music without having to download illegally."
http://www.we7.com

Musicomh

It's Brit-centric, accessible and unpretentious. The music and arts site reviews new albums by everyone from Fuck Buttons and Idlewild through to Shakira and The Saturdays, as well as providing live reviews and features.
http://www.musicomh.com

Stereogum

It's good for general news and tunes, quite good on up-and-coming acts, and the reader comments are often funny. Plus it's not as self-conscious as Pitchfork. Come here for free MP3s and whole albums of remixed music, other prizes, and videos of acts including Phoenix and Devendra Banhart.
http://www.stereogum.com

Grime Daily

Dizzee Rascal put grime on the mainstream pop map when he scored three consecutive number one singles this summer, and Grime Daily is the number one site for fans of the genre. Calling itself the epicentre of UK urban entertainment, it reviews the latest releases, and offers news for fans.
http://www.grimedaily.com

The Arts desk

Founded by our own classical reviewer, Edward Seckerson, The Arts Desk offers coverage across the arts written by journalists. There's a particularly useful section on classical music and opera, including Q&As with big names, audio clips and reviews (Turandot is one of the latest).
http://www.theartsdesk.com

Mondomix

The primary site for world music, Mondomix selects music from around the planet for listeners to sample and buy. It features artist spotlights, artist of the month and a free downloadable song each week. Browse what is rocking each corner of the planet via continent, or genre.
http://www.mondomix.com

Classical archives

Browse by composer, performer, period, instrument and genre, download MP3s of classical music, and create online playlists. The site presents a section on new releases as well as the odd feature and interview.
http://www.classicalarchives.com

Hype Machine

Instead of being another voice on the web, the Hype Machine keeps track of what music bloggers are writing about, aggregating the best. Handpicking the blogs, they present the discussions for easy analysis, reading and discovery. The idea is to make stumbling upon decent blogs, and good new music, easy.
http://www.hypem.com

All about jazz

All About Jazz features album and live reviews, interviews, reportage, and concert listings. There are also jazz session podcasts and a free daily MP3. Best of all, the site covers all spectrums of jazz from young Mercury nominees the Portico Quartet through to Ray Brown and Milt Jackson.
