Sites and Soundbytes: MusicMesh

MusicMesh is a very cool way to find new music. It has several features that I really like. First, you can enter a favorite musician or choose from their top searches. Then it offers a graphic of closely related bands for you to explore. Click on any CD and you will get a tracklist, reviews, the Wikipedia entry, and a link to Amazon for pricing. But best of all, any tracks with YouTube content can be viewed right in MusicMesh. I just found the new video from Mika! Hurrah!

Note, the fast-forward and reverse arrows on either side of the YouTube screen don't switch tracks but instead find other video content related to that song. That way you can find better quality videos without redoing your search.

My only quibble is that their search engine needs a little refining when it comes to linking to related music. Amazingly, neither Queen or the Beatles are listed as closely related to Mike. Instead I got linked to Emma Bunton. Sigh.
