Notes

Couldn't get the slideshow to load in Chrome, switched to Firefox, ten pages of slideshow. Here is the content to save people the hassle.
Gorilla Vs. Bear(http://www.gorillavsbear.net/)
This is Pitchfork without the pretention. The folks behind this blog continue to curate a solid library of new and niche artists that, whether you know it or not, are influencing the music you're hearing on the radio today. This is the place you go to to "hear it first" even before you're told to.
largehearted boy(http://blog.largeheartedboy.com/)
There's nothing better than kicking back to some good tunes and having a solid book to get lost in for a while, and that's where the heart of largehearted boy lives. It's where literature and music come together in wonderful harmony.
EARMILK(http://www.earmilk.com/)
The name says it all, really. EARMILK is your daily dose of sonic calcium. Consume it all. Your ears will thank you.
Et Musique Pour Tous(http://www.etmusiquepourtous.com/)
Based out of New York and L.A., this unassuming, under-the-radar site features some of the best remixes and emerging DJs out there. It's EDM music that won't give you a headache. They do things a little differently here, too. It's not just about the music, it's about how the music affects you, what the nuances are, and why you should dig it. Life inspiration paired with some great beats? We'll take it.
Aquarium Drunkard(http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/)
Based in L.A., Aquarium Drunkard has managed to fly low despite being around for awhile. It doesn't just give a voice to eclectic musicians, it lets the musicians themselves proudly show off. The interviews are as good for the mind as the sounds are for the ears.
Cruel Rhythm(http://cruelrhythm.tumblr.com/)
Cruel Rhythm is the little Tumblr that could. Who ever said that having a tumblr.com URL lessens your credibility, needs to check out the archive Cruel Rhythm has racked up, stat. They let the track do the explaining, and hardly write anything — which is refreshing in its simplicity. Sometimes, all you want to do is dance, and that's where Cruel Rhythm comes to your aid.
HYPE MACHINE(http://hypem.com/popular)
The HYPE MACHINE is the Twitter of music. It's constantly updated with what's trending in the sonic sphere as it's trending (hence the title). This is where you go to stay relevant. This is where you go to show off. You can thank us later for the ego boost.
Ad Hoc(http://adhoc.fm/)
Ad Hoc is like a little online commune for people who love good tunes without the brainwashing. It's made up of ten blogs sharing the ethos that the world can be built better through great sounds.
Indie Shuffle(http://www.indieshuffle.com/)
Like EMPT, Indie Shuffle prides itself on good writing. They don't care if you might not like a song, they merely want you to consider it, and that's an endearing thing to ask of an audience — one that we wholeheartedly respect.
weird canada(http://weirdcanada.com/)
Hey! Canada has great taste, and that's all this website aims to prove (which they do in stunning fashion).
