If you love music you need to check out Hype Machine.

The Hype Machine tracks a variety of MP3 blogs. If a post contains MP3 links, it adds those links to its database and displays them on the front page.

Some of the frequently accessed tracks are cached by the Hype Machine server, much like Google Search caches web pages, to reduce load on the bloggers’ servers and protect their bandwidth. Those tracks are NOT available for download, but you can preview them via the “listen” links that are next to each track or using your media player.

The blog that posted a particular track is identified under every track by name and with a “read post” link that leads to the blog post itself. If you enjoyed a track someone posted, stop by and let them know!

You can purchase CDs and individual tracks by using the “amazon” and “itunes” links that appear next to most tracks. Each purchase you make via the Amazon and iTunes links supports both the artists and the Hype Machine. Please buy and enjoy.

So I have been a proud fan of Planet Karen for maybe a year now. It’s just a Kick Ass Slice of Karen’s life really. Todays comic just made me want to say “KICK HIS SCUM ASS!” I love the look on the last panel like. “Stop Screwing With Me landlord or I will plant a boot in your ass very soon.
