Drowing in a sea of pop

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

This discussion got kind of lost in the last chart poll comments - I think it deserves its own thread.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the vast swathes of music out there? How do you keep up? Or do you just listen to the same old stuff 90% of the time?

Where do you usually hear new music? Radio, telly, blogs, random interwebs... or poptimists? If we don't know about something, is it the record label's fault for not promoting the artist?

Also - have you ever experienced music 'fatigue' (as mcarralata mentions in that other thread)?

It's here, and it starts on Monday. But I'm sure there are ways to link it to FT too.

The thing about it is that it's not necessarily going to be a "keeping up" sort of thing, it's more exploring pop in its wider sense.
