The Hype Machine is a music blog aggregator, and it just generally makes me happy. Music blogs are just great – artists getting exposure, music fans getting excited, and untold musical riches for visitors. The Hype Machine collects them and allows for easy search and download. While there’s some debate over whether this actually allows for dialog or is just a p2p download clone, as a music fan and an ex-owner of an mp3 blog, I think it’s a beautiful thing. It’s easy to both see what’s hyped at the moment and discover new things, plus it encourages community and enthusiasm. Yay for music!
