We were always looking for a way to combine 8hands with our love of music. We believe that music exploring is a huge part of social networking – for some of us, It's the only reason to type the MySpace address into the browser (but let's be honest, most of us are geekier than that).

So it took us a while, but we are throwing the 8hands' octopus right into the music pool! We are starting a new music blog to tell you all about the great artists that we've found around the social networks sphere (mostly in MySpace, Last.fm, imeem & Bebo) and we'll use 8hands to spread the word & share favorite music videos with all of the 8hands users.

We, the 8hands mega-team, will post semi-daily recommendations about a not-too-big artist or band that is either unsigned or signed to a small indie label. We'll write about music creators that we believe use social networks as a huge promotion tool, and we will use 8hands promotion values to help our favorite artists of the bunch. Every week or so we will choose our favorite artist of the moment and upload a music video by him to our YouTube profile.

As you probably know, the 8hands YouTube videos come built-in into 8hands, so, unless you've deleted that location, you'll get every recommended video right into your 8hands!

That's great for the artists, because their videos will be exposed to many people, and it's amazing to the 8hands users, because, if they appreciate our taste in music (which we believe is superb) they will be able to discover new artists & share them with their friends by a simple drag & drop.

So… visit the 8hands music blog, add it's rss feed to your 8hands, and if there are any artists that fit the description above and you would like us to recommend about them, we would love it if you'll comment or write us to info (at) 8hands (dot) com.

Oh, and if you want an instant music recommandation, without any real words around them, you can always check out our last.fm profile to see what we are listening to in the office.
