Music News Wire

Musicstation is a must-read for those seeking rock music news, including info on not-quite-mainstream acts. The site's MusicNewswire collects the most note-worthy daily articles from a variety of outlets--including BBC Radio 1, LAUNCH.com, and New Musical Express--and assembles them into the categories of "Top General Stories," "Top Industry Stories," "Top Feature Stories," and "Top Review Stories." You'll also find original "Audio Reviews" (a combination of spoken-word reviews with music samples) and "Artist Spotlight" profiles. The site's very easy to navigate, but I found the sheer mass of information available made it a bit overwhelming, with so many stories listed on the front page. Even to scan through the various news and artist links would have taken at least a full day of reading. This one will have to be visited more than once to fully appreciate it.
