I surf the interwebs continuously (frequently with bags under my eyes) looking for music information & news that is good for independent artists of all genres to be aware of and aid in the advancement of their careers. I tend to tweet this information more often than I share on other social media outlets (FacebookGoogle PlusLinkedInTumblr, etc), but here's a "go to" list in the event you've missed my tweets or the posts of sites that have provided the information.

Peep relevant music news that happened this week below.
