Furthermore…

I’m an alternative music fan and I have always been interested in hearing new music as soon as it is released. The trouble has been finding quality sources.

I created MusicTrajectory.com to be a quality source of new alternative music. You won’t find annoying pop up ads on this site. I maintain a visually appealing site that is clean and organized. I like imagery so you will see a lot of that – mostly in the form of the single/album covers and band pictures.

The main focus is on new music from the greater alternative music genre. This includes but is not limited to: rock, alternative rock, indie rock, indie pop, indie folk, punk rock, and metal. I will also mix in some multi-genre crossover stuff that seems to be well tolerated by everyone. Use Music Trajectory as a source to explore new songs, new albums, and new artists. Help Music Trajectory expand by leaving comments, voicing you opinion, and linking on social media channels!

I would love to hear from you! Feel free to comment on any post that I publish or tweet me @musictrajectory

Features

The Stream page: all posts on this site will display here on this page. If a new song hits the web and its awesome, I will post it here on this page. All lists, playlists, album reviews, etc. will also post to this page. Bookmark and check it frequently.

Song of the Week: every Monday I make a post that showcases a song that is new (perhaps brand spankin’ new to the web), catchy, and well, awesome! There is a good chance it will be stuck in your head all week. The song chosen will most likely be from one of the genres that Music Trajectory focuses on but I aim to choose a song that has some crossover appeal. Each post contains the video, band info, some commentary, links, pictures and other goodies. I believe this to be the flagship feature of the entire site.

Best Song in the World: Sometimes a song comes along that is so good, so amazing that it needs to be recognized for just how great it is. One this page a song chosen as ‘Best Song in the World’ is deemed so until another song comes along and dethrones it.

Lists: have you ever gotten into a band by hearing a really good song from them and then wondered what their overall best songs were? I post “best of” lists of popular artists that satisfies this type of need. For example, if you like Rise Against, you can find a Top 20 Rise Against Songs list here on the site on the Lists page. Each list is ranked, well designed, easy to view, and contains a bunch of links to further the discovery process. For each list, I do my research; I look around the web at blogs and forums and factor in popularity such as the top Youtube video views, top Spotify listens, iTunes ranks, etc. I also end the year with several top 20 lists to make sure you get to hear all the best tunes that year had to offer.

Playlists: for each list I post, I make a complimentary Youtube video playlist. That way after you view the best of list, you can watch/listen to all the songs on Youtube! I am also a huge Spotify fan and have a bunch of lists that I continually add to. Check out the Playlists page for these and follow ones you like!
