All of the reviews in the Twitter feed link off to tracks on hypem. I’m hoping it creates an easy way to find new music…just follow the feed on Twitter and it’ll typically give you 2-4 new albums in your feed each day with links off to some tracks from each album.

Here is a link to the Twitter feed:

www.twitter.com/new_music

Inspiration came from an old New York Magazine article that talked about people who only “Listen To Anything rated over 8.0 on Pitchforkmedia.com.” This could be the killer app for those folks.

Update:
Silicon Alley Insider says the new_music twitter feed is one of Ten News & Information Twitter Feeds You Should Follow
