Press Release Summary: New Social Media Community Features Music Memories, Reviews, Top-5 Lists, Games, and Original Reporting
Press Release Body: HOUSTON - Music is a part of everyone's life. It helps defines us and has the power to unite us, no matter our background or age. This is the inspiration behind JamsBio - a new online social community where people connect with each other by sharing the music and moments that shape their lives.
On JamsBio you can journal about music by posting your memories, writing reviews of albums, songs of concerts, and sending dedications to someone special. Here are some posts shared by members on the site:
* The Night Jesus Burned (http://jamsbio.com/user/marcz/the_night_jesus_burned/): A man recalls a smoke-filled mishap in his bedroom while listening to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" * Farmer Kent and his Daughters (http://jamsbio.com/user/juliemelissa/farmer_kent_and_his_daughters/): For a woman in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" conjures up memories spending carefree summer nights with her dad and younger sister. * The Nighttime Drive (http://jamsbio.com/user/juliemelissa/farmer_kent_and_his_daughters/): A guy in Dallas will never forget his prom night or the song that's forever associated with it, "Alone Together" by The Strokes. * The Last Day (http://jamsbio.com/user/hollyhox/the_last_day/): A woman in Massachusetts shares how the song, "What Sara Said" by Death Cab for Cutie helped her cope with her mom's death.
"I am a lover of music, and was in two bands back in the day before my family," said Kari Capetillo a JamsBio user in Cincinnati, Ohio. "To have a web site to go to and to show your emotions and memories during musical moments is a gift. What a great idea."
JamsBio also features games that put your knowledge of music to the test. Think you know music? Prove it by playing SongBlitz and JamsMatch. Or, if you want to improve your knowledge of music, do some virtual "crate digging" by exploring the more than 5 million songs and full artist discographies using the site's unique MusicFinder feature.
Everyone has his or her favorite songs, albums or artists. On JamsBio you can create and debate Top-5 music lists about any topic you can imagine. Here is a sample of recent popular lists on JamsBio:
* Albums I Can't Live Without (http://jamsbio.com/lists/browse/albums_i_can_t_live_without) * Rock Musicians Who Died Too Young (http://jamsbio.com/lists/browse/rock_musicians_who_died_too_young) * Best Question Songs (http://jamsbio.com/lists/browse/best_question_songs) * Hip Hop Albums That Changed The Game (http://jamsbio.com/lists/browse/hip_hop_albums_that_changed_the_game)
