Μιλώ πολύ για να συμβαδίσει με τις τάσεις σε αυτόν τον ιστοχώρο. Εάν θέλετε να είστε αληθινά κοινωνικό άτομο, είναι απαραίτητο να υπάρξει ένας πλούτος της γνώσης σε πολλές περιοχές. Αυτό επιτρέπει σε μας για να έχει τις συνομιλίες με τις διαφορετικές ομάδες ανθρώπων.

Για παράδειγμα, θα μπορούσα να δώσω δύο shits που κερδίζω την παγκόσμια σειρά αυτό το έτος… αλλά εγώ ακολουθώ ακόμα αρκετές αθλητικές ειδήσεις για να συνεχίσω μια ημι-ευφυή συνομιλία με έναν σκληρό ανεμιστήρα μπέιζ-μπώλ πυρήνων.

Η παραμονή μπροστά από τις τάσεις είναι ιδιαίτερη σημαντική εάν στοχεύετε be popular in high school, or the college scene. Here you are judged as much on your favorite band, brand of clothes, and pop culture knowledge- as you are on your personality.

I was never one to know the hot new band. So often I was guy rocking Bon Jovi CDs in my car… and my CD collection in the dorm room hardly ever inspired praise.

When I’ve talked about staying ahead of the trends in the past… many readers have asked me to recommend websites that will keep them up to date.

I just wanted to pass along a website that I’ve been addicted to lately. Its a social networking type site where users submit their favorite songs. The songs then are rated Digg style.

The website is called The sixty One. It is my new favorite radio station while at the computer. And its constantly being updated with the latest popular tracks.

The website is slanted toward indie rock, pop, and electronic… so those of you looking to keep up with the Hip Hop scene will be disappointed.

The website might be just the tool you need to get some music knowledge under your belt.

Pete the Freshman, resident tech guy, and part time DJ recommends these sites below:

• CMJ
• Pitch Fork Media
• Buzz Feed
• Brooklyn Vegan
• Say Something

Between The Sixty One and the 5 sites Pete mentioned above… you should have no trouble staying up to date with whats hot in the music world.
