Seeing as Tekmosis has
kindly added the blogging categories of Music and Graphic Design I suppose it's time to begin.

I know exactly what you mean about merging all the music sites. It'd be great to be able to stream, scrobble, discuss, rate, social network and download signed and unsigned music all on one super-site.
