One of the best ways to discover new music is definitely by reading the mp3 blogs. Pre-MOG, they're what used to take up all my time. You probably check your favorite ones every day, and I'm just getting back into reading them. Here's some cool tracks I've picked up over the past few days. Check 'em out!1.

Instead of taking the time to read the actual reviews anymore, my favorite thing is to guess what score an album will receive as I'm clicking on it. Sometimes I'm shocked at how accurate I've been.

...of the Mog staff actually making it possible to post the tracks you're posting about in your actual post. If there's anything that frustrates me, it's reading about a song or album and having to try and track it down somewhere.
