NPR

Some people may not be aware of National Public Radio - USA's Public Radio Station but music lovers should be aware of this great radio station and website. I frequently visit their MUSIC website to keep up to date with whats going on. Music tends to be on the alternative / world music side of the spectrum so pop lovers need not bother. Having said that, they did recently interview Estelle so you never know who may pop up. They have a number of great features on their MUSIC page:

• FIRST LISTEN - where you can hear new albums in their entirety for FREE. Last week I was listening to the Magnetic Fields new album 'Love at the Bottom of the Sea'. As I write this post I am listening to White Rabbits new album 'Milk Famous';
• SONG OF THE DAY - which i think is self explanatory;
• INTERVIEWS - which features interviews from NPR with music artists releasing new music to personal stories about music;
• CONCERTS - there is a treasure trove of concerts which can be listened to on their website. A quick search revealed concerts by The Kills, Bon Iver, Moby and Laura Marling.

Theres a whole bunch of other great stuff on their website: http://www.npr.org/music/
