Yes, friend recommendations are important, but even your most musically inclined bud has to find music somewhere. Exfm recognizes that fact by making blogs the source of its content. Still, the app doesn’t lock you into curated content — like the Hype Machine’s Hype Radio app does in many ways — letting you still have access to musically savvy friends and their varied deep cuts and basement tapes.
