The Hype Machine Radio

Finding music through blogs is one of the ways I discover new music, and the blogs are not always necessarily music blogs, but could be art blogs, fashion blogs, tech blogs, and design blogs. Hype Machine actually handpicks music from blogs and create playlists for their listeners along with short information to go along with the songs. This is a great way of connecting to the listeners, giving them a reason to listen to these tracks. And it is always great being recommended new, awesome music.
They also give you tips on how to have your music discovered by them.

From their website:
"What is it?The Hype Machine keeps track of what music bloggers write about. We handpick a set of kickass music blogs and then present what they discuss for easy analysis, consumption and discovery. This way, your odds of stumbling into awesome music or awesome blogs are high."

Of course, they have an iPhone app, so they're definitely keeping up with the digitalization of music and offering cross-platform alternatives.
