The Smiles

So at some point, I might have mentioned (IRL, not OTI) Will Sturgeon.

And how much I'm in love with him.

Well, his band The Smiles is on the front page of this website.

What's really awesome about this particular site (other than amazing music) is that it actually takes about ten seconds to sign up, AND you can click any link, but the music will keep playing no matter where you go on the site.

And the artists that post songs will usually make about 7 dollars per album (rather than 1-2).

And you can build playlists on this site, by saving songs, and then you can listen to them over and over. And you can build up a reputation if you "heart" a song and it does well. (equivalent of FB liking, but with the possibility of site-cred). You can also build a reputation by inviting people. So if you do join, say that I sent you (myshangrila) and I'll get some site-cred, to match my street cred.

That's pretty much all I had to say about this. Also, that Mario Kart Love Song is in the "top songs" section of the website. For obvious reasons, I mean, come on!

EDIT: It's also things like this that make me love the site: Hidari is a three-piece band from Kobe, Japan that fuses the sound of raw asparagus with that of rutabaga to create a truly unique type of half-tuber, half-shoot hybrid that is as nutritious as it is bewitching.
