Mashable brings us word of what they think are the twelve best music social sites. They don’t mention YouTube and only MySpace in passing. Some good sites, most I’ve never heard of.
Internet Radio Day of Silence, June 26th
There has been a lot of buzz about June 26th. On this day many if not most of the internet radio sites across the US will go silent in protest to increasing royalty rates.
As someone who does webcasting part time I can say the royalty rates on music are a sham. The way they are charging and the amount is set up for failure. I don’t know if shutting down the radio is going to help, but I’m for anything that points out the problem.

Castle Wrap
Who knows why I name things anymore. If it’s a wrap then usually it’s the last one of the day. So I was probably just fooling around. Lots of news recently. I’ve been going through my bookmarks and also posting what I’ve been hearing about. I might think about redesigning the site to showcase the news better.
Ah this site.. a thorn in my side it is.
Want the new Smashing Pumpkins? Be prepared to buy four copies.
Pitchfork Media writes to tell us how to obtain the full album Zeitgeist. My girlfriend says just download the whole thing once it comes out. I guess that’s the way it is today.
