Yes....I mean where do you find out about new bands....or bands you didn't know yet?

 

 

Maybe you can post links of great sites here....

 

 

I think this would be cool...;)

 

 

 

because this is one of the main things why I use the net...

mhhh..

it's all coincedence.

you might check out www.laut.de or www.uk-sounds.de

those are my main sources ;)

1. AtEase http://ateaseweb.com/mb/

2. Pitchfork http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/

3. Coldplaying (in the past...)

 

that's all actually... i don't really trust the rest like NME or Q for example

I normally read Classic Rock Magazine, they have good taste in new bands.

 

Other than that, support acts are a good way.

From the site I download from, they not only put up mainstream stuff, but stuff from little known bands as well.

What I usually do is randomly search the internet till I find something that interests me. I may also use this http://sputnikmusic.com

i usually become aware of new music via forums....i try stuff out that people recommend and it goes from there

i'd also recommend "rate your music" site. it has one of the hugest music databases. also, the users can review albums, edit biographies, rate releases etc. a really pleasant site!

It's usually through friends,on the odd occasion I will just walk into the record shop and pick up a CD which i think looks good..

Is that why you ended up buying the greatest hits of westlife?

Pitchfork is definitely a great source, mostly Indie and non-mainstream music there however.

 

For hip hop music I go to this blog: http://www.hipandpop.com

 

I also really enjoy: allthingsgo.blogspot.com

and all the affiliates of that blog

 

also try using the music genome project: http://www.pandora.com

you throw in a song or artist you like and it will suggest other music to you and play it streaming online for free.

mostly from amazon.com. i go and type in bands i like then look up music on the similar artist it gives me.

 

last.fm

 

magazines

 

other bands on labels that i'm really into

 

 

thats how i do it :)

Oh stfu...you would buy that shit!!! What an insult...Loser.....

Either hearing the bands on tv or radio, forums or reading Q magazine.

I often listen to a good radio station which is playing a lot of new songs, especially from Germany, Great Britain and of course Sweden.

 

Also last.fm helps me a lot to find new music or bands. The radio plug-in is great.
