Where are you finding/listening to new music?

[meserach.livejournal.com]

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

Should probably elaborate on those trusted blogs and internet sources.

Fact Magazine do EXCELLENT free mixes which have mostly taken over from the Resident Advisor podcasts for me, due to superior bitrate.

dot-alt.blogspot.com hosts a ton of A+ mixes too, and firstup.se is one of the few mp3 blogs I regularly frequent. The Heatwave is ESSENTIAL for dancehall. I drop in on RCRDLBL and The Fader from time to time and am usually rewarded very well indeed.

I guess because lots of my friends are critics/DJs/producers, so much of our talk starts with "have you heard..." or tweeting random youtube/mp3 links, too.

(Sorry no links, couldn't be bothered, all easy to find with google tho!)
