music news, etc. |

- Pitchforkmedia.com:
Tons of reviews, articles, news...You could spend hours here.
A good place to go for well-balanced reviews and news on bands
that make good music moreso than shiting units.
- NME: New Music Express: This
is the online version of one of the most widely read music
publications in the UK. They tend to be eternally over-hyping
things a bit, They also tend to be the first people with
information on any of the bands from the UK as well.
- excellent online:
The "Home for North American Fans of UK Music." Wonderful
organization with lots of great information here: release dates,
news, tours, reviews, etc.
- Jam! Music:
This Canadian page has news, album reviews, chart information
and LOTS of other cool stuff.

It's not entirely surprising to find goog bits and piece of
news here.

The reviews taken directly out of Rolling Stone magazine for most
of the latest albums released. Also, check out the
Rolling Stone Main Page
for news, access to archives, and a lot more.

One of the UK's most comprehensive music sites.
- Rock Spot: Made by Lyn
Kratz, who used to DJ at WMMR in Philly and works at Van Pelt
Library now!
- Billboard:
Music news from an "industry" slant, which - to me - means mostly
commercial music. The US chart listings are here also.
- Top Of The Pops:
Find out what is happening in the UK Charts. A rough
equivalent of the US Billboard and run by the BBC.

concert info |
|
- Pollstar: This is the
premiere database for touring information of any artist.
- TicketMaster Online:
For the record, I HATE these guys with their lame services
charges, and countless other annoyances, but there is some
useful information on this site. There are seating charts for
venues and other useful information if you are looking to go
to a show in another city.
- Clear Channel Entertainment:
These guy tend to sponsor more and more concerts these days.
Their page tend to have more information about what concerts
go on sale when, prices, and anything else you would need to
know. Much more information than other sites that do the same
thing... BUT keep in mind there are lots of reasons why
Clear Channel Sucks
- Gig-A-Byte Performance Search:
This is a really great database for Philadelphia area shows.
This site includes daily listings of shows, shows for a
particular venue, links to maps of a venue, and a lot of other
useful up-to-date information.
- Electric Factory:
Information about concerts in the Philadelphia area
- The Trocadero:
The best place to see a show in Philadelphia now has their own
cite.

radio stations |
|
- BRS Radio Directory:
This is a great site to find any and all radio stations in the
US and beyond, at least those that have a presence on the Web.
- WPXN - User Supported Radio
This station is by far an excellent example of what modern radio
can and should be. Operating out of the University Of
Pennsylvania's campus, this station runs on listener support.
They consistently have a way of bringing fresh and exicting music
from many genres as well as mixing in well established, critically
aclaimed artists. XPN is actually one of the few radio stations
that does not underestimate its listeners. XPn also sponsors
many local shows and artists.
- Y-100: This station brings
you what could call "Modern Rock" format. They are farily
reliable on bringing you the more commercially accepted
"Alternative" hits out there. Check out their Sunday night show
called ""Y Not" that give you local Philly artists as well as
other alternative/indie artists that might not make it to normal
daytime radio.
