I don’t know if the app is worth its $2.99 (I guess if your 3G connection is good and you want their music on the go, it is), but I’m just getting started on using the Hype Machine as an aggregator of music sources instead of an MP3 search engine — imagine a Last.fm for little known music, streaming from a network of music blogs. Am currently listening through my desktop browser and if this quality keeps up, I’ll be a customer within the hour.

It’s a situation ideally suited to success, actually. Music lovers who consider themselves informed, cutting-edge curators — a breed of digital vinyl collectors — who publish their opinions on well-trafficked blogs, are always going to be your best bet for radio that doesn’t suck.
