Michele’s Freeminding

In the past few years, I realized how difficult it is to find new talented artist through mainstream media, and that was probably the main reason I started loosing interest in music, which had been a love of mine since I was a little one.
Not that I didn’t listen to music anymore, I was simply buying old records, or records by bands that had been around for quite a lot of time. And except for a few rare occasions — Wolfmother, I’m looking at you — I didn’t buy anything new.

But thanks to a suggestion from a friend, things changed recently: about three months ago I signed up on eMusic. Immediately thereafter, I signed up on Amie Street, too — which right now is my favourite source of new music.
The first couple of days I was hypnotized: obsessively downloading songs and looking for new artists to put in my library. And things didn’t change much in the next weeks: I’m still obsessively looking for new artists!
I can safely say thanks to those two websites I was able to fall in love with music again and the reason is there’s so much talent around, you just need to scout around a bit.

This newfound love for music, sparked an idea in my mind and in that of my partners: we should help spread the word on new talented artist, because there’s so much untapped potential on a website like Amie Street, so having someone help you find that potential could be of great use.

This is why we decided to create Music Milker, a blog where we post a new song every day.
We also choose an artist we love every week and make him/her the Artist of the week, giving away free MP3s if the artist’s fine with it.

We’re trying very hard to spread the word on this new wave of beautiful music.
So, if you’re in need of some new music to put on your MP3 player, go to Music Milker and tell me what you think about it.
