The Hype Machine 2.0
Oct 16 2007
The music blog aggregator The Hype Machine has rolled out a new version of the site today. It’s got a sexy facelift with a bit of colour for a start as well as some new interactive features. The big one is the ability to open an account so you can save the songs you want (by pressing a loveheart). This gives you a dashboard page with a “Loved tracks” and a “Loved Feed” for your favourite blogs. You can setup a watchlist to watch an artist, a search or user. A nifty inclusion for those with Twitter accounts is the ability to update your twitter when you love a song, search or a blog so you can let others know too.
Anyhoo, have a look how the Hype Machine now handles my mp3 playlist and then go off and find some music you never know you loved. Congrats to Anthony and friends who run the Hype Machine. Anthony stayed with myself last year while the Hard Working Class Heroes was on. We introduced him to Buckfast and in return, he showed us a new dance. It was beautiful

I’d like them more if they didn’t hate my blog
1Boo! they removed my blog. I just resubmitted it. I wonder if the criteria for inclusion are more stringent for the new hype machine
2I bloody hope not. According to the stats, nialler9 is the 58th most popular site on it.
If you need to ask Anthony, you can harass him on the elbo.ws forum.
3Hey gardenhead, I like your bizarre piscine masthead! great minds etc.
It’s silly, but being turned down put me right off Hype Machine; I used to be one of its biggest fans, but not any more. petty, but that “thumbs down” felt personal. boo
Anyway, it seems they haven’t got Undersea Community at the new URL; I’ve resubmitted to see if I get turned down this time
4Hi I just resubmitted my blog and its up now. Yeah, can’t understand why they wouldn’t put undersea community, for every 10 blogs out there with the latest sunset rubdown tune there aren’t many with songs from the wicker man! More of this sort of thing I say
5I hope the new site removes that element of it. I have definitely been using the site less until the beta was released. I think it’ll be harder for blogs to post for traffic rather than post interesting stuff. Plus, the posts have context now rather like elbo.ws.
6aw shucks!
