How to Find New Music
Here are my sources: (in order of reliability)
- Last.FM / Pandora Internet Radio – I suggest using Last.FM because it’s more social. You can see what others listen to. Here is my Last.FM
- Spinner CD Listening Party or Aol – These are AWESOME. They are a good way to listen to full CD’s before they are released.
A good way to expand your ears. - NPR Music – All Songs Considered – Song of the Day, Concerts, Interviews are an awesome source of new music information. Plus they are really cool and funny.
- Metacritic – Takes a bit of searching, but a great place to see what is Acclaimed.
- Best of …. Lists – It’s always good to hear what others liked last year. Chances are, you will like it too!
- Billboard - I go here when I want to find pop music. It beats listening to top 40 radio.
Then, when you find music. Buy It For Cheap On Amazon (Current Bestsellers)!
