What channel you on?

Last.fm has been helping a lot, as well.

Most of my music comes from a music sharing group I belong to, every day or two I get a new album sent to my e-mail inbox, it's a pretty easy way of finding new music. As far as absolute new music (i.e. music not from other people) I use last.fm to find new artists, then usually a blog that has the album uploaded so I can download it and listen to it. I have been thinking about doing an experiment in the future where I do nothing but listen to the radio for a full 24 hours.

That's where I go for new music. I really don't know another way to find it. The radio never plays new stuff, I don't have sattelite radio, pandora is nice for background music but it's cumbersome to look and see who sings every song that comes up. Most people I know don't know a lot of music - they might be able to name Metallica or AC/DC, lol, but that doesn't help me.

pandora.com, it's an online radio station (only available in the US, though) where you enter in an artist as the station's seed, and then it will play you music that is similar to that artist. eg, you could put in "Three Days Grace" as the seed and it would play songs by 3DG, Chevelle, Staind, Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, etc.

That sounds interesting.
