***The Recommendations Thread***

What do I post here?
1. "I heard a really cool song the other day, it was ____ by ____, and it was immaculate. Get into it!"
2. "Hmm, the bands people talk about here suck. Let me post some of MY music from my one of my playlists."
3. "Everyone tells me this band is really good. Are they blowing smoke up my azz?"
4. "I'm too lazy to make a thread. One that probably everyone will ignore anyway. Meh, I'll post it here."
5. "Hey I know that song! Dude, *high-five*."

Why are you here?
1. "I'm bored with my music, and I need something fresh."
2. "I'm a noob and I don't know what Indie is."
3. "I want to see if anyone is listening to the same obscurities as I am."
4. "I'm on a shopping/downloading spree, and I need HELP!"
5. "Ah [insert name here] just made a post. I better see what he/she is bitchin about now."
