So yesterday my friend asks me if I heard some new single thats getting played all over the radio these days? To which I reply "I don't listen to the radio."
The only time I hear the radio is for the minute it takes me to hear my radio alarm has gone off and roll over to hit the snooze button.
I used to listen to the radio all the time, but that was when I lived in the suburbs and had to drive everywhere. Now I live downtown and I either take public transit or walk everywhere, both of which I do with my ipod on. The problem with only having an ipod though is that it only has the music on it that I already put on. There's no way to find new music along my travels like I did when I had a car with a radio.
So here's my question to everyone; How do you discover new music (besides on Supernova.com of course)?
With the internet there's tons of websites out there that are dedicated to helping people find new music, there's podcasts that only focus on new music, there's blogs, and I'm sure there's other things I don't even know about.
For anyone who knows me, you'll know that one of my biggest passions is life is find new music or bands, and then share them with other people. Even if that sometimes means me playing something for someone over and over again until they're forced to like. I want to know some more places to find new music though, and I want you to tell me where to find it.
I'll even get started with 2 of my favorite sites to use to find new music (besides Supernova.com of course)
First is
last.fm. This site is awesome because you can enter an artist or song that you really like and it will put together a playlist of other artists or songs that are similar to the one you entered that you might like.
The second one is
Hype Machine which collects music uploaded to all kinds of different blogs around the world and puts them all on one page for your listening enjoyment.
Tell me some of the places you find new music on........
