What is The SixtyOne? (http://www.thesixtyone.com)
t61 is a social music website where you can discover new music. You give your favourite music hearts to help the musicans get the attention you think they deserve, for this effort you are rewarded with reputation which helps you get up to the next level. Another way of gaining reputation is to receive achievements, such as the mosh pit. Mosh pit is achieved by listening to t61 when there are at least 5000 other listeners. Today a more or less organized attempt at achieving mosh pit has already started:

I’ve tried to use Twitter, and the hashtag #tsomp, to promote this event, see my other blog at:

Make someone happy, make them a mixtape (or more likely a cd)
According to essayist Geoffrey O’Brien the personal mixtape is “the most widely practiced American art form”, so why not join in on the fun? Make a selection of your favorite music and burn it onto a cd, then give it to someone special (as the song goes).

I’m always on the lookout for new music and the web is an excellent place for discovering just that. And by new music I mean new to me, not necessarily music from the last couple of years. Let’s say that you, just like me, like the Australian band AC/DC, here’s what you do:
go to allmusic.com and search for AC/DC, then you’re sent to an informative page telling you among other things that the band was formed in 1973, but the information we are looking for is further down on the page, under the heading “Influenced By”. Here you can see that AC/DC was influenced by, amongst others, The Who and Led Zeppelin. These bands you can hear music from on YouTube, MySpace and many other places.
Happy hunting!
