It's time for... The Top 15 List!! (This week.... Music Websites!)

Okay - so I decided to put some lists together of my top favorite things, like websites... say... Music websites. That's a good one for me to start with :) So here it is -

My Top 15 Favorite Music Related Websites!

Category -  Music

1. http://phantasytour.com
A collage I made representing PT
   *http://phantasytour.com/bands/1/topics (forum for Phish)
   *http://phantasytour.com/bands/4/topics (forum for The Disco Biscuits)
(The others are a waste and get like two posts a month, normally spam. Although I did try really hard to get the Ween site active). And I hear they have some kind of Phantasy League type activity.... I always suck at that part. But shout out to my good friend "J" who came in 3rd OVERALL last years in the tournament. Pret-ty Impressive.


2. http://www.emusic.com
   * My favorite subscription site to download music - recorded

3. http://livedownloads.com/
   *My favorite site to download live shows - non subscription, pay per show

4. http://www.livephish.com/
   *Same as livedownloads.com - just for Phish shows. (that's quite a big library!!

5. http://phish.com/
   * Official website for Phish



6. http://phishspreadsheet.blogspot.com/
   *Where to download, updates and info on the infamous Phish Spreadsheet (a "mostly" completely archive of their live shows with download links to the archive.)


7. https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p8WKkpP-TKpO1VnQgcff6EQ&gid=7
   * The direct link to the Spreadsheet

Great Studio Album by  tDB
8. http://www.ibiblio.org/jamz/SBDs/trey-gamehendge.shnf/
   * Complete recording of Gamehendge- you just need a .shn player of converter

9. http://discobiscuits.com/
   * Official Website for The Disco Biscuits

10. http://discobiscuits.net/
   * Unofficial site for The Biscuits. Includes link to all their original songs with lyrics, and stats (first show played, times per year, % over time, etc.

11. http://www.satchmo.com/nolavl/jazzfest.html
   * I was originally going to put Jambase.com here, but after thinking about it - I decided to go with this one. If you are a NOLA Jazz and Heritage Festival Junky (like in the OED definition that I talked about last time), like I am - then you will appreciate this site for all it's late night information and general town goings-on. Also helps you shop around for good travel deals for the festival, etc.I <3 Jazz Fest

12.  http://www.bandsintown.com/home & http://www.jambase.com/
   * Yep, it's a tie folks - Stay updated on when your favorite artists are coming to town. And festivals from the local to mega popular, and get info and stats on all your favorite bands too.

13. http://www.soundtribe.org/
STS9 Album
   * Unofficial website for STS9. I deliberated between thelowdown.org and http://sts9.com/ But this one just has everything. Kinda like the unofficial Bisco site - when done by the fans it's done with love and dedication (sometimes unhealthy dedication ;-)
    * First let me state, that I have ALWAYS paid for every piece of music that I own. Second, let me say that I LOVE sharing my music with people around me. I've got 500gb of good shit - and sometimes I want to just keep it in the cloud so I can download it onto another one of my computers (I use like 5) and sometimes I want to share it with my dad, or another PTer or something. MediaFire does a great job of helping me organize my music virtually!  Say my friend never heard of Dopapod but I wanted to share a little sampling -  I can just go to MediaFire, Upload to a new folder - and share the link http://www.mediafire.com/?7bixef7zqu8yi - Voila! Turns out he becomes such a huge fan, that he buy all their records, and tours the country with them! See. Everybody wins!

15. http://www.last.fm/listen/user/Deemster_Diva/personal
   * Like Pandora Create our own radio stations with the artists you like and it will suggest similar music. I used  one of my radios as an example. I just put this one because everyone already does Pandora - thought I'd pick something different :)

And in honorable mention  - I'll send a shout out to http://electrojams.com/ - Thanks for a solid forum for electronic music of all types!

If you think these suck and want to share YOUR favorite music related websites - please do :)  I'd love to read the comments!!
