A great place to catch some tunes

A good song can transport you to a different place the same way a book can take you to a different land. But, do you get tired of listening to the same songs over and over again? Everytime you turn on the radio, the same music is being played. Sure, some radio stations do better than others at being creative with their playlist, but in the end you have no choice at what is played - besides requesting a song, which takes too much time. What can you do? Where can you go to get some great music of all genres without spending an arm and a leg?

There are great places on the Internet to get some great music, a lot of times for free or for very little. You can go out and buy the latest CD from BestBuy or your favorite music retailer, but if you just need one song, you can download it from ITunes for a lot less than the cost of one CD. But, what if you are tired of the same mainstream music that you hear on the radio?

Well, there is some great content from less known groups on the Internet as well. One great site that I will feature predominately is http://www.soundclick.com/, but there are several like it. You can find tons of songs on sites like SoundClick. I'm not sure about other sites, but with SoundClick you can pick your favorite artists and listen to their songs via online radio. That's right! You can choose what to listen to. Several of the artists will have their songs on the site for free download or for a very cheap download.

In future posts, I will discuss further features of http://www.soundclick.com/ and sites like it. I will share some of my favorite artists and which songs of theirs I like. And I, being an amateur musician myself, may even talk about my own songs, which can be found for free download on SoundClick.
