Where do you find new music?

Public Library- free check out of up to 5 CD's -listen to it all for 2 weeks not 30 second bytes

there are many, many information sources that I use for research, and I pay close attention to music I hear in Movies, TV, Radio, etc. Here's my list somewhat in order of best to worst:
1) Amazon.com - I use their recommendations, surf genres, read reviews . . . these lead me to new artists and music. This research process is also applied to the next 3 internet sources too. The resarch leads to listening to the sound bites. If I like, I buy. If I like it when it's delivered and I've had the chance to listen to the whole thing, I use it to begin the next search.
2) Audiogon discussions. . . followed up by surfing Amazon.com
3) Other Music web sites - Artist sites, Progressive Ears, Allmusic.com, etc. I start with somone I know, follow the reviews and artist history to other music and artists
4) Joe's Record Paradise - my new source for used vinyl. I search the racks and buy.
5) Music I hear in Movies, and on TV
6) Recommendations of friends, relatives, acquintences (my teats are pretty eclectic, maybe strange so this isn't as productive as one might think it would be.
7) Radio - Stations around me are bad, and I really don't like much of what I hear on FM, but now and then something comes along.

kcrw.com (morning becomes eclectic)

I have found my local npr station, wdet for me here in Detroit, to be a great source for new music. They have a wide variety of material you don't hear on the normal stations. I ran a thread a few weeks ago with the same title, in case you want to read a few more responses to the same question.

KCRW 89.9 FM in Santa Monica, my local college/NPR station. Eclectic music programming that frequently introduces new performers long before the mainstream even hears of them. The 6/26/05 New York Times Magazine has an article about Nic Harcourt, KCRW's music program director.

Check out Nic Harcourt's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" program for an interesting mix of music. Frequent live-in-studio sessions. Another favorite is Tom Schnabel's "Cafe LA" show for a mix of World and Jazz. Jason Bentley's "Metropolis" for lovers of electronica. Garth Trinidad's "Chocolate City" for R&B and Funk that you will not hear anywhere else.

You can go to their website at http://www.kcrw.com to check out their programming and playlists. Streaming webcasts and downloads of archived programs are available.

Have fun!
