Where you find your music - General

My sister supplied me with about 60% of my iTunes library. The rest of it is stuff I've heard from friends, family, the internet and on the radio.

You know what I find is perfect? Pick a band you already know and that is sort of "underground" and keep going deep through the related videos on youtube. Like take Artillery, the Danish Tech-Thrash band, just keep going deeper and you'll find bands that are similar.

Last.FM Friends Just Stumbling On Bands

Mostly friends, but a lot of the time I find music through Last.fm, associated acts with bands I already like, stumbling upon stuff in Youtube etc..

youtube being my primary source I'd say

Pandora.com i found some very good songs on there

Last.fm and sometimes friends.

Last.fm, Friends, /mu/ and ocassionaly tv.

I tend to have a look on music forums. I also get sent the occasional promo for my DJing.

i use youtube, last.fm, and wikipedia to associate myself with the band and learn about them abit and listen to a few songs, then if i like it enough i buy their album at the music store.

I discover most of my music through film...

Friends

[url]www.progarchives.com[/url] sometimes helps me find good prog bands

I recently started using last.fm, it's awesome

Spotify. It's the shit.

My own giant cd collection, followed by Itunes Genius (You have music from Vinnie Paz, Perhaps you'd also like Jedi Mind Tricks) etc. OR Friends Forums last.fm hanging around the music store maybe MTV

YouTube, DI.FM, stumbling upon.

last.fm, spotify

Pandora internet radio. It creates a playlist based on the song/artist you typed in and it contain songs and bands similar to what you entered. I just voted radio.

I google "good [nationality] band" and listen to them on YouTube, or skim through the book "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". But I also got into Simon and Garfunkel after watching The Graduate in communication class. Maybe I would use Last.fm or Pandora if the first didn't cost money and the second wasn't US-only, hurr durr.

friends, grooveshark

Last.fm and this subforum, mainly. Youtube sometimes. No one in my year is into what I am so I can't get anything from them.

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;24133478]Maybe I would use Last.fm or Pandora if the first didn't cost money[/QUOTE] Whoa, whoa, stop right there. Last.FM is free. You can subscribe to get more access, but using it for suggestions / to find music / track your listening is free.

I can't listen to the radio without paying, so I don't see the point.

[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;24134856]I can't listen to the radio without paying, so I don't see the point.[/QUOTE] Where do you live? Because, unless they changed it since I last used it, I know it's free for at least the United States to use the radio. [QUOTE=mikeyt493;24133647]Last.fm and this subforum, mainly. Youtube sometimes. No one in my year is into what I am so I can't get anything from them.[/QUOTE] And I'm pretty sure Mikey doesn't pay for it, and he seems to use it fine - and he's in Scotland if I recall correctly.

Scotland yeah, I get it free. UK gets it free as well. I never use the radio anyway though.

Canada. It's free for the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, so either you're using a proxy server, your ISP is based in one of those countries, or Last.fm doesn't give enough of a shit about Scotland.

Damn, Spotify isn't available in my country

I usually randomly come across something I like then use my immense internet detective skills to find it.

last.fm, friends, youtube, and employees at the record store sometimes
