It’s that time again… time for some linkage. Today we’re pointing you to 68 excellent music sites that we here at TheFrontloader.com dig on thru Twitter. I know what you’re thinking… “Swap, SIXTY-EIGHT sites is a bit a lot, ain’t it?” and you know what? You might have a point if you think that 68 is a big number… but I bet you wouldn’t think it a big number if… say, you scored a 68 on a test… or if you had 68 pennies… or if you had 68 bowel movements TOTAL in your life.

So you see? 68 is NOT that big of a number.

There are so many great music sites out there, and I’m sure we missed a bunch of even our own favorites in our list. So if there’s a site you dig that isn’t listed here or if you have a music site of your own that we failed to list, make sure to leave a link to the site and/or Twitter in the comments section below! We’d love to follow you!
