| Helpful Music-Related Links www.1212.com - Comprehensive music-industry database. Includes listings for nearly every commercial and independent record label, as well as bands and artists, in dozens of countries around the world. www.pitchforkmedia.com - Informative and up-to-the-minute site for music news and reviews. Be warned: Pitchfork Media reviewers tend to have fairly esoteric and trendy tastes. Their opinions can be overly critical, and their coverage tends to focus primarily on the alt-rock scene. Fortunately, they do know exactly what they're talking about when it comes to music. www.rollingstone.com - As a magazine, Rolling Stone tends to be a bit out of touch with today's music scene. As a web site, Rollingstone.com stays fairly well in tune. Excellent extras here that you won't find in the magazine, and far fewer attempts at pseudo-New Yorker journalism. www.spin.com - Home of Spin magazine, often praised as the Rolling Stone for today's generation. Personally, I think it's an apples-and-oranges comparison. Oh well. (more to come)

| www.allmusic.com - sort of like imdb.com, except for music. Has reviews of virtually every album ever released by a major or a subsidiary of a major, and is nearly as impressive when it comes to independent releases. |

| www.allmusic.com is pretty good for information on popular or semi-popular artists, although I tend to disagree with their reviewers. They tend to have little-to-no information for many lesser-known european artists though. www.Gracenote.com is the only website I know where I can punch in the most obscure artist and still get info on their releases. They don't offer reviews or critiques though. |

| For those that actually like heavy metal Brave Words And Bloody Knuckles -- reviews, internet radio, more. Features reknowned critics Martin Popoff and Tim Henderson. Highly recommended. Very comprehensive and intelligent. KNAC (Former LA Heavy Metal Radio Station way back when...) -- more of the same as above. For those that remember the infamous metal station of the eighties... BNR Metal Pages -- Incredibly large database about pretty much every metal band out there. This guy knows his shit. Metaldisc Want metal? Buy it here. Yes, the shipping charges suck, but the selection is very good. Can the prices be better? Sure. However, as mentioned, it is tough to beat the selection and the quality of service.
