How do you find the music that you listen to?

to find my music i either go to my local record store and just look at the whole rack looking for cool cover art, record labels i like, who's on their cd as guest, listen to whats on their listening rack. also my friends help me out alot cause their just like me and want to find that hard to find artist. might sound dorky but i really dig myspace cause i can go from sight to sight listening to peoples music and then look who's on their top friends list and just keep going like that. myspace is a good way to find those under the underground artist cause anyone can put music on their. i never listen to the radio and never watch any of the mtvs cause for the most part their isnt much i like on there. basically im a digger and i'll spend hours just trying to find 1 artist that really speeks to me. thats pretty much how i find my stuff.

myspace is my favourite too, using the method you said... especially if you;re into alternative and often unsigned bands.


i'm pretty lucky, because my friend has this obsession with music, and a thing for having the actual album, so i just get her to burn a back-up copy and lend it to me!


i noticed you've put this in 'hip-hop'. not sure where you're from, but some aussie hip-hop is fantastic. my favs are hilltop hoods www.hilltophoods.com.au (really bad name, but great rhymes!) also 'bliss n esso' and 'muph and plutonic' rock. 'funkoars' have great beats... lyrics can be really grotty tho.. i'm pretty liberal, but some of them even make me cringe!


good luck, and happy listening

Reply:yeah myspace is a great place to find unsigned talent too. for the most part i look through itunes. what irritates me about itunes sometimes is that they dont have all albums and artists so yeah. they should really create an underground hip hop genre to separate garbage from true art. but omg i feel you about the radio. i hardly listen to the radio anymore either because some of the stuff out right now rots my brain cells. lol.
