Straight up question, answers in the comments please. Where do you go or what do you do to find out about, and/or hear for the first time, new music? Links to websites especially useful, remember this stuff isn't as widely disseminated as many people assume. If you're thinking "oh surely everyone knows about [[source]]", post it anyway!


My go-to sources of the moment are:

* here, obv
* The Singles Jukebox
* Popjustice
* smattering of blogs and twitter feeds
* music video channels you get on Freeview

Also, not very poptimisty, but: for neo-folk, martial pop, experimental industrial, dark ambient and similar related musics, I tend to listen to Aural Apocalypse (an LA-based radio show) on podcasts downloaded from the website/myspace. I find Miss Merrick an amusing presenter cos she gets easily distracted sometimes! I don't think DJing comes naturally to her. She is generally very good with her choices though.

(Library stuff is actually fairly up to date, but I believe they may still have to wait 6 months before acquiring new albums? I mean, they had the most recent PJ Harvey/John Parish album in last week, which isn't bad going!)
