What is your source for discovering new music?

Internet radio mostly.

Sometimes friends also interested in music will bring some new stuff by to give a listen to.

Public library on occasion.

I'll do some digging on various internet sites where users post reviews and comments on specific material as well when time permits.

I'll do an occasional raid on budget used vinyl for a couple bucks or less also when I get a chance, but I much prefer a quick rip to music server where I can quickly find and sort through new material as needed.

Hevac reminded me that I also pick up a lot of newer pop/dance oriented stuff at the gym doing Les Mill's choreographed exercise classes.

If I hear something I like, I usually download the .mp3 for 99 cents or so from Amazon, if I can find it there.

Kinda reminds me of the good old days as a kid hitting the local department store (JC Penny) and picking up the latest tune I heard on the radio on 45 rpm "vinyl" for about the same price.

Hey, at least the album art pops up on my controller when the downloaded music plays! Most old 45s had no cover art although some of the label artwork was cool. Small favors!

here's a really fun and nicely recorded new find:

we no speak americano by yolanda be cool.

Its truly amazing how easy it is to discover new music these days with digital audio and the internet compared to when I was a kid. Then, it was a few am and fm radio stations that were more varied than most today but still paled in comparison.

Nowadays, its more like there are so many options, which to use and spend time with?
