Re: a new "new music" music site

I think such sites do exist, but that's no reason not to have another 
one! I would like something like that that requires no loggin etc, it 
would be very convenient for checking out new music from work or other 
places where you don't want to be mucking about and just want to hear 
some new tunes.

( I can't say I've used betalounge much since they implemented logins, I 
hopped ship to deeprhythms.com )
