55th and Brooklyn

As I've discussed in previous posts, blogging/social media is a great way for aspiring musicians to be heard, discovered, or just share their music with the world. More and more artists are being "found" online by random producers- in fact, MySpace originated as a site for musicians, not for friends to share embarrassing pictures of one another. Since then, more and more sites are popping up allowing users to share what music they like, or want others to see. Apple just released their social music network, Ping, just recently, as a matter of fact, which encompasses the iTunes store, and your iPod/iPhone, as well.

Two good friends of mine just started their first blog, 55th and Brooklyn, to share their music into cyberspace. David Boman and Peter Muller are two talented musicians I have known throughout college. I have been fortunate enough to have seen them perform in a number of settings, both together and with their previous groups. Each time they have blown me away with their talent and energy, so I was naturally excited to hear that they would be releasing some of the stuff they've been working on, online. Be sure to check them out at 55thandbrooklyn.blogspot.com and give them some feedback!
