A quick plug for something that I’m really digging lately.

TheSixtyOne calls itself “Massively Multiplayer Music Discovery”, and basically it works like this.  Musicians add their music to the site, and users can browse music, and listen via the onscreen player.  If you like something, you bump it.  The trick is, that when you start out, you only have a few points to use and each bump costs you points.  When other people bump, you get points, and can bump more. 

Yeah.  You get XP for listening to music.  And you level up and stuff.

Its like the perfect combination of music and gaming.

Through thesixtyone, I’ve discovered some great music that I never would have heard before.  Totally worth it.
