Oops, forgot to post about this last week but that just means twice as much fun for you. Our awesome show has been gaining some great traction and Dev + Abbey have been amazing at producing the show with a mix of featured popular content and blogger picks. Go check out the 4th episode of our Radio Show with tracklisting or listen to both episodes below:

We encourage you to subscribe to the podcast feed, download the tracks directly and embed them on your site!
We’re looking to hook up radio stations and internet radio stations with the show, so if you have someplace you’d like to hear Hype Machine Radio (like your college station), give us a link in the comments and we’ll get in touch!

The Hype Machine Radio Show: Episode 2 went live yesterday! Head over to the radio page on our site to listen (stream/download/embed) and see the tracklisting of songs+bloggers we featured this week. We plan on getting a new show out every Wednesday but are still fine-tuning the show+presentation so if you have any feedback, we’d love to hear it!
You’ll also notice the layout for the radio page has changed a bit. The top features our weekly show but you can still find the non-stop stream below that.

We’ve temporarily limited the number of favorite searches to 10 due to load issues for users who had more favorited. The inactive searches are still visible in your profiles, but they are marked with “search not tracked” on the right.
If you are one of the heavier users with many searches, can you email us and let us know how you were using the site?
UPDATE: Now the limit is 30. We will continue to revise and monitor this situation
The Hype Machine SXSW 2009 Party!
We are all prepared for our annual trek to Austin for the best conference of the year: South by Southwest. This year is extra special because:
We’re Throwing A Party! on March 18th, open to EVERYONE! The Zeitgeist Radio Shows were such a hit, we’ve decided to move forward with a weekly show that highlights the most popular music on the Hype Machine each week. Get all the deets on the The Hype Machine Radio Show Launch Party page and listen to the very first episode, a preview of the bands playing at our party.
We’re On A Panel! Anthony is speaking on a panel this year called Help! My iPod Thinks I’m Emo all about music recommendation systems, the benefits/drawbacks of social vs mechanical picks and more. Should be a lively debate with The Echonest‘s Paul Lamere.
And of course, for all things SXSW, you should check out my side project: sxsw2009.sched.org/ to create a schedule to export to your iCal/iPhone or just print out! This year we’ve also added the ability to get SXSW show recommendations based on your Hype Machine, Last.FM and Grooveshark profiles.
Hype Machine indexes hundreds of music sites and collects their latest posts for easy streaming and discovery. We're here to help you find the best new music first.
