Welcome to NwMsc

Welcome to NwMsc.  If you haven't figured it out. NwMsc is short for New Music, and NwMsc.com was a much cheaper domain name than the vowel-rich alternatives.

The goal of NwMsc is to help music fans sort through the best new songs and music videos. I'll be monitoring dozens of sites and posting links to the new music getting the most traction. Initially, the focus will be on music that is in its first month of attention.

If you have feedback or suggestions, please comment away.
