Dig it: the Internet has already been instrumental in introducing musicians to fans looking to discover them. Too often though, it's either single-staff websites or single-minded bloggers calling all the shots. One set of biases = one set of recommendations. Don't get us wrong, these people have turned us onto some great tunes, but we figured there's got to be a better way.

Instead, we've gathered some of the best writers and bloggers from every corner of the country and asked them to forget the things happening elsewhere. It's all about what's happening in their own backyards: local shows, local bands and local clubs. For Listen.com, the local scene is life. So the more of scenes we know about (and the more we know about each scene), the more fulfilling our life - and your Listen.com experience - will be.

And we're not going to do it on our own! We'll be adding scenes from around the U.S. - and, hopefully, beyond - as you tell us to. Soon enough, you'll probably be covering your local scene better than we do - and we'll be the ones paying attention. (Go HERE to tell us which scene we should add next!)

So do what you've always done -- listen locally, rant globally. Check out how the new Listen.com does the same. Then tell us what we're doing right and what we're doing wrong.

Listen.com is out to cover every great music scene in the United States of America and beyond - not to mention its undiscovered gems. Because unlike most World Wide Web whipper-snappers, we're not going to pretend that we've seen it, heard it and know it all. And, we're not so big that we won't ask for your help in finding the little nuggets. In fact...help?

Do you think your town deserves some Listen.com love? Are there bands, clubs, radio stations and blogs blowing up all around your area code, and you can't believe that they have yet to get the Internet to go nuts? Want to know what you can do about it? TELL US!!!

We want to hear what's poppin' in your 'hood -- be it indie-band or hardcore rapper, be it message board for DJs or podcast of budding Nashville songwriters, be it venue that mixes classical music and techno or radio station that plays it all. If your town is down and we're not covering, give us a good reason and we will.

Do not be shy! This is the Internet, where you can remain anonymous and still have an important voice. In the immortal words of E-40: "rep yo city." Or as we like to say, "Nominate your scene."
