The Facebook Music Club

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to share music on Facebook.
Not my own music, no.
I haven't even written a lyric yet.
But this isn't about my musical prowess, it's about my taste in music.

I'm sure I've mentioned something to the affect of college reshaping the kind of music I listen to.
To me, music is essential to development as well,
and the more you have,
the better of a person you might turn out to be.
That's why I have 8775 songs in my iTunes right now.
Now I'm not saying quantity over quality at all.
I'm simply saying the more songs you have,
and the more diverse those songs are,
the better chance you have of gain new outlooks and taste.

It is by no luck at all that my iPod is always sought after,
no matter who I'm around or where I am.
I like to think I've garnered a reputation as a person with good taste in music.
I've always been regarded as a hip-hop connoisseur at the very least.

So why have I taken to Facebook to share my music taste?
Well, because that's were I've been getting more and more of my music lately,
especially rock, soul, alternative,
and music I don't know how else to describe but as indie.
I happen to have friends with equally good taste.
Usually if I like the artist enough,
I'll start looking into some of their other stuff too.

So, I figured why not share the wealth as well.
It's always done tastefully through YouTube urls.
And if you're smart, you've figured out how to turn those videos into mp3s.
If not, that was your hint.

Always feel free to visit my Facebook page for music.
I post a song, or more, a day.
Hip-hop, R&B, Soul, Oldies, Alternative, Rock, Musicals.
Everything put Country and Heavy Metal.
Giving you the songs you might not have ever heard before.
It's there to be enjoyed.

I encourage you to join.
I'm sure there are websites devoted to sharing music like this,
but why not do it on Facebook?
It's already the Walmart of the internet.
Word.
