Where do you find new music?
Since some of us (and you know who you are) constantly lament the lack of good new music, that begs the question…
Where do you find new music?
For me, it is mostly thru Pandora.com. I’ve programmed my station at Pandora.com to be music I can listen to while working. Since I’ve been “teaching” Pandora what music I like for almost 3 years now, it really is very suited to my taste. I find new new music and old stuff I had never heard before. But obviously limited by what I have seeded the station with.
I still listen to the radio sometimes. My favorite stations are the non-commercial WPKN at the University of Bridgeport and the commercial station WEHM in Long Island which is very much an anomaly in commercial radio, just check out one of their playlists. And every once in a while, I’ll actually hear something on a TV show or movie soundtrack (Once comes to mind) that I like.
I hardly ever try artists I’ve read about or someone else has recommended. I need to hear an artist for the first time without any preconceived notions.
That’s it for me. A very small universe to find new music in…
So what am I missing? Where can you discover more new music?
