The Grammys and Music Is Life, Life is Music have launched a new mobile app that allows you to tag locations on a map with a music marker – could be the club you’re going to see a show at later this weekend, the place you heard a song for the first time, or any other music-related comment or memory.

From the Grammys blog:

“You can share your tag by posting to your Facebook profile or Twitter account. The app integrates with Flickr and Foursquare data by highlighting concert venues via Foursquare, and promoting Flickr photo data of GRAMMY-related artists and venues.

As more users tag the map, you’re able to view what music inspires others at any given location, such as your neighborhood, a popular venue or your favorite travel destination. I’d argue the coolest part about the app is that several featured artists will be using the app and their tags are featured on the map by a special marker. For example, by filtering the map for music artists, you can see several tags and notes posted by Katy Perry. The Recording Academy says more artists will be featured within the app as we get closer to the 53rd GRAMMY Awards.”
