How do you go about finding new music?

[NFreak]

I use RB/GH.
It's the way I found out about real music to begin with.

This.

Also friends, forum messages, and I'm gonna look into trying Pandora and last.fm, I REALLY need to get some stuff in my collection that isn't metal.

I might of used RB/GH to find music if I didn't know of 80% of them to begin with. =p

I like using lala.com. Every Tuesday you can check out the new releases. One listen through of an album is free...

Here is one I found today that I enjoyed and may end up buying the CD:

Habeas Corpus by Living Things

[King_Nuthin]

I used to listen to the punk station (Fungus) on XM radio. Since the merger of XM and Sirius punk was the first thing to go, then a few months later they wiped out everything else I listened to.

I turned to a combo of podcasts and last.fm, though I wasn't discovering much new stuff on last.fm so I switched to Slacker radio for internet streaming which seems to have a wider catalog.

Garagepunk.com has a new podcast almost every week day by a variety of hosts, many different themes besides the obvious 60s garage punk and psych, including raunchy 70s r&b/soul and even a great podcast that plays 70s horror movies interspersed with an appropriate sound track.

Way back when more well known artists were still fresh to me I discovered new music by going to shows (as a teen I went to 3-4 shows a week), buying albums with cool album art (very hit or miss!) and by buying compilations by labels I knew had artists I liked or ones that just had artists or songs I was familiar with. Then I'd buy every artist that had a song I liked, or other compilations they were on and just branch out from there.
