New Smiles Added
We have added two new sets to the list of smile graphics. One contains a bunch of great animated smiles. The other is a secret ninja set. We would love to include a Star Wars set, perhaps next month?

NMT on Twitter
Because what the world needs is another account to follow on twitter. We have actually found the real time interaction between artists and fans a very fun activity to watch and participate in. Who doesn't like it when Calvin Harris pranks Morrisey and calls into question his dedication to vegetarianism. Or DJ Diplo's fondness for somewhat crude bathroom humor? Is the the future of all communication is 140 char, perhaps?

But they lack culture and community. They don't have a central place for hardcore music fanatics to engage in real discussion and debate.

This is why I started New Music Talk.

I want to bring back the culture and spirit of the independent record…
