However, I understand that this is the technological age and like everything, music’s becoming a digital medium. If you’re not a technophobe like me, you’ll want to get into Bruce’s cool blog, Our Digital Music. Unlike yours truly, he knows his iPods from his iPhones and his Zens from his Zunes.

There are plenty of handy tips here that will help all tech-savvy music lovers. It almost inspires me to take that MP3 player out of the box.

I pride myself on having pretty eclectic music tastes, but I have to admit there are a few holes in my musical knowledge. One area I’m not so cluey about is new age stuff. If I’m honest, I know a few Enya songs and that’s about it.

Luckily for the music channel, we seem to have an expert on everything and that includes New Age tunes. Shankar Dhanasekaran writes New Age Vibe, a guide to new age sounds. He writes personal entries about the music he’s passionate about, and includes plenty of videos so you can hear the music for yourself.

Visit New Age Vibe and you’ll soon learn there’s more to new age music than Enya.

Sammi’s cool blog features a new band every week of the year, so it’s guaranteed to unearth something you’re unfamiliar with. Some of the bands have a bit of a global profile while others are still looking for their big break.

The one thing they all have in common is Sammi’s seal of approval. She may be just 19, but this girl knows her music. She’ll take you through the band’s discography, key songs, tour dates, merchandise, and anything else she thinks you need to know. As an added bonus she also interviews many of the musos featured on 52 Bands. Too cool!

But it’s not all tabloid fodder. In her recent Top 10 Bands You Should Discover Today post, Roberta stepped out of the mainstream to deliver some truly unique musical gems.

Ear Sucker is one of the music channel’s most popular blogs, and it’s easy to see why. Roberta really knows her stuff, and she has a wicked sense of humour.

So pop on over to Ear Sucker and see what all the fuss is about.

Some of our favorite local singers, including the Bee Gees, John Farnham, and Olivia Newton-John were born in Britain. Others, like Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia, spend most of their time there. Not to mention the Brit superstars that drench our airwaves, from The Beatles to Lily Allen.

So it makes sense to spend some time at Brit Music Scene, one of the fantastic blogs here in b5media’s music channel.
