How do you find out about new music?

[Michelle Hannon]

Since I don't have alot of time to devote to music snobbery - I just look at www.pitchforkmedia.com. As Brad suggested on Facebook, Eric Dusel and Michael Allen are also a good source for information.

[Keith Groover]

Normally, I'll hear something on XMU, The Verge, or pandora that I like, then check them out further. Or occasionally I'll read something about a band or magazine that piques my interest (speaking of which, check out these guys, whose bassist was interviewed in Tape Op.)

I guess you can't really tell what's linked in that last post. Here they are:

XMU - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMU_%28XM%29

The Verge - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Verge_%28XM%29

Pandora - pandora.com/

"these guys" - www.myspace.com/sharonjonesandthedapkings

sharon jones and the dap kings sound really good. i'm not much for soul or r&b but i can definitely get down with that funk.

new music...hmm, well i'll do genre searches sometimes on itunes or myspace looking for artists i might like. that or talk to Michael Allen or Eric Dusel

Several ways:

1. Friends in other countries
-great music coming out of Sweden, the UK, and Germany!)
2. Myspace.com
-i'm a dork. if i hear something i like on someone's profile, i'm checking the music out
3. Lastfm.com
-when i play music on my itunes, a bio about the artist pops up and it recommends artists that are similar to that)
4. Paste Magazine
-i'm on the email list
5. Reading random music blogs on hypem.com

i generally google a name a label or a genre and try to find references to other music that i don't know.

You aint kiddin'! ;D

Personally, I have been totally unaware of what's going on in Greenville which is sad but I felt like the air was dead. I'm seeing that I might be wrong.

Most of the stuff I like, musically, isn't even from America. But I find out about stuff in the strangest of ways... my little secret.
