Listen Up

So here we were thinking, since it’s the New Year and 2012 being the (alleged) end of the world, what’s the latest social media hu-ha to talk about? But really, enough with the researching and preaching of what’s next, what’s new, what’s shiny, and what’s not.

We thought we’d just drop a little sound of music into your digital life.

No really.

Have you heard about 8tracks? Yes? No? Well, for those who haven’t, think of it as an online public playlist. Just key in a tag you fancy (pop, rock, 90s, Christmas…etc) and see what 8tracks has for you.

Created by the digital public who love music from all corners of the world, this is a great site to listen to. Oh, and the best part? It’s legal.

Of course, since it’s legal, there are a few terms and conditions stuck to it such as:

• Tracks can only be skipped twice in an hour
• You cannot browse through the playlist
• You cannot rewind/forward a song

But really, at the rate people are constantly making playlists, you’re bound to hear your favourite tune a couple of times.

So click away and find songs that-you’ll-wonder-how-is-it-that-you’ve-never-heard-of-something-as-wonderful-as-this-before.
