So, I usually wouldn't divulge such secrets, because the internet is a very strange place where people like to keep such powerful resources all to themselves.  However....I'm going to let you in on probably the best secret ever .... well maybe not, but whatever.  (I may be lying about all this best secret ever stuff........!?).

Anyways, I spend my days listening to music I find online, and there are some awesome sites out there to do so (not to mention TONs of them allow you to download directly from their site...weird):


http://hypem.com/

http://afternoondelight.trash-can.net/
(and also check out their partner site "Bedtime Tunes" if you need to chill)


http://hypetrak.com/ Not as much a site to listen to music on, (you can but not that often) - it's more to hear about new music and usually YouTube links to videos.


http://www.last.fm/
Last.fm is not so unlike Pandora (recently UN-blocked for Canadian IP addresses - used to be available, then blocked, now open for biz....), where it allows you to search pretty much anything; artist, album, genre, etc...and then it compiles a playlist for you.  If you register (its Free), you can create your own playlists and stations that other users can listen to.  


http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/ - A Music blog/ realease info / general music stuff - site.  I frequent their 'Best New Music' page.


http://www.thehoodinternet.com/ - The ultimate mash-up site - tons of sweetass mixtapes too!


http://djlobsterdust.com/ - Mashup DJ.  Some insaaaaaaaaannee mixes!


http://hiphopst.blogspot.com/ - Not a bad place for some new Hip Hop news and videos.


http://www.imeem.com/ - "imeem is a social network that enables users to discover, interact and express themselves
with media, including music, video and photos, and form connections based on shared tastes and interests." Thanks to Andrew Lockhart for the reminder on this one!


http://www.seeqpod.com/  - Sick flash based live search music archive.  Thanks to Andrew Lockhart for the reminder on this one too!


AND Finally, for those who don't know....BBC Radio from the UK is the absolute money!  Just no downloading, but plenty PLENTY of quality listening with my favorites on 1XTRA.  Namely, the Annie Mac and Fabio.

Obviously, there are TONS more out there, but these are my regulars.  If you have one that you want to share, please email me! I love checkin out new shit.

Enjoi! PEAS and CORN.

Mind blowing!!!! 

Just watch and try to imagine the balance this dude has!

A good friend of mine, and former Editor for Snowboard Canada Magazine, Matt Houghton is the person behind this new portal website.   Go check it out for yourself;  www.PUSH.ca


"Push is your site for skateboarding and snowboarding in Canada. We know there’s a bunch of skate and snow sites out there already, but we’re offering something a little different. We’ve amassed a dedicated crew of writers, bloggers, photographers and filmers to offer up high quality, exclusive content for your entertainment. But you can get involved, too. Along with our content, you can post up your own to share with all of our users. Upload photos and videos, leave comments, and apply to have your own blog on the site. You’ll also find other sites within our site—like Bneeth and Mumble Magazine—and great tools like our national Skatepark Directory. And as you’ve probably already figured out, the site is yours to tweak and change, so if you only want to see skate stuff or want to save your favourite videos, you have the power to make it so. Push will be constantly evolving as we grow—just like a good site should‑‑so stick around and make your mark. And don’t be afraid to tell us what you think and what you like."  - Push.ca
