Hypemachine takes some of the things we love best about social networking and combines it with two things almost everyone loves, finding new and cool music and not having to pay for it.
There are millions of MP3 blogs out there but who has the time to go through all of them and keep up to date with what's out there? Hypemachine is an enormous MP3 blog aggregator that's the love child of a social networking and music centric Web 2.0 properties Muxtape and last.fm.
You can sign up and <3 music you like and make your own internet playlist. Sounds familiar right? Muxtape allows you to do the same thing but does muxtape link you back to the orginal MP3 blog and allow you to download the MP3? Nope, but Hypemachine does.
Want to find out what music is hot in say Chicago? How about Tokyo or Berlin? Go into the SPY area and it allows you to see whats how in different geographic locations. There is also search by (artist, genre, track) capability and of course you can find all your friends and make new ones to see what they are listening to.

I stumbled across Hype Machine a couple weeks ago and I was very thankful. Probably one of the more useful tools for a music junkie-- or at the very least a friend of a music junkie who'll just spurt out the names of random indie acts in everyday conversation. It's especially useful for those elusive remixes.
