ONE HUNDRED PLUS (Now 200 plus !)
Favorites from the internet and the world. THE BIG LIST
The WORLD’S FIRST ‘TOP FORTY’ LIST! The NET is the WORLD’S FIRST JUKEBOX and this is its FIRST PLAYLIST! The OUTSIDE OF THE BOX SET!*
MYSPACE has become, (or used to be) the world’s biggest and best record company. YOUTUBE is not far behind as the world’s best video company. Between them and other net music sites, there’s a lot of great music and undiscovered talent. Here are Musea’s best favorites. And these are just recent discoveries!!! As far as I know this is the WORLD’S FIRST WORLDWIDE BEST NEW MUSIC LIST.
Some are pure music, some are a fun mix of music and video, all IMO are VERY GREAT and better than what you hear as mainstream corporate music. I think about 90% of these would make #1 Singles, and the rest would make one of the world’s greatest albums.
Note these are from every continent and from all over the world. They includes EVERY type of music. I looked for good songs that had melody and rhythm. I also looked for a variety of styles and anything that showed originality. And finally I looked for things that are in some way magical – that enticed me to hear the music over and over.
Most of these are indies, but I’ve also included some of the best of classic music and even some mainstream artists. Also note that many are women. After all I am a guy and nothing is sexier than woman performing great music.
Some are only youtube videos, or only myspace pages, or both. So check both. Investigate any that appeal to you. I think you too will discover great new music. MYSPACE (ms), and YOUTUBE (yt).

Tom here. I got this e-mail from one of Sandy Nelson’s bandmates about being added to the list. Yes that’s THE Sandy Nelson , the great 50′s drummer. And I wanted to share it:
Mr. Hendricks..
Remi here…(Termite in charge of the myspace page)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I will pass on the honors to Sandy tonight.
I call him every other day or so and pass on messages from the myspace page.
He’s not much of a computer person.
I’m SURE he’ll get a huge kick out of making the list.
short background on the songs that made it….
“Bizerk Beat” was composed and recorded by Sandy in Sandy’s Garage in L.A. in the mid-60′s.
“Backfire” was written and recorded with Me, Eddie Angel and Billy Favata for this last album mostly in Sandy’s living room a little while back.
I’m looking forward to getting back there and recording some more with Sandy. He’s a very creative and dynamic drummer for sure. I’m also hoping to get him to do some gigs for the album this year some time. Stay tuned.
Thanks again for the inclusion on the list!
If Sandy has anything to add I’ll post back.
Thanks again!
Remi
