It is now easier than ever to find music online. Google has recently released Google Music Search, a means of searching for songs, lyrics, and artists using Google’s unparalleled search engine. Google music will even connect with full length (no annoying snippets) of songs from other websites such as Rhapsody, Pandora, imeen, MySpace music and others. Oddly, it doesn’t link to my favorite music search engines Grooveshark or Songza.
Watch this video describing what Google Music Search can do.
I like the Google Music Search but at this point it comes well behind Grooveshark and Songza for my needs. Grooveshark and Songza require less clicks to get to a song/artist and don’t require you to jump to other annoying websites to get to the meat. But, then again, that is what a search engines is all about – getting you to other sites. Perhaps if I didn’t know about better resources, then Google Music Search would be more valuable.
Posted under Music, WebsitesCable channel AMC’s much-ballyhooed remake of the 1960s British sci-fi classic The Prisoner premieres on Sunday night. Jim Caviezel stars as No. 6, the role made famous by Patrick McGoohan, and Ian McKellen is the villainous No. 2. The miniseries reworks the original in numerous ways, so before or after you watch the new version you might want to check out the classic one. DVDs are available at the library and AMC has posted full episodes that may be watched online.
Posted under Movies & Music, trailers, tv showsSharon, our AV librarian, sat down for a brief conversation about some of her favorite unsung titles coming out soon on DVD.
