Your method for discovering great music.

I’m rather old-fashioned in my ways, but one of the things that introduced me to different kinds of music is my library.  They have an extensive collection of CD’s to take out for free.  I just go and look through the bins of CD’s and come across artists and albums I have never heard before — even some genres of music I’ve never heard.  Then I play them in my car while going about my errands, and in my home while relaxing or doing chores, and find that some I like and want to hear more and others I don’t care for.  This helps me expand my music choices for things like streaming.

My older friend is more Tech-savvy.  He subscribes to Sirius radio and has full choice of music that streams to his new-fangled car.  

Here’s a link to an internet radio station a member shared with me last night. Looks quite promising! 

The Jazz Groove

If anyone is into indie rock, Americana, and country, I always check out the weekly recommendations and reviews in The Nashville Scene (your local weekly alternative would work, of course), and I subscribe to weekly newsletters from Grimey's New & Preloved Records, Third Man Records, Saving Country Music, the Americana Music Association, and New Releases Now.  Local Nashville musician Aaron Lee Tasjan has great recommendations in his Twitter feed as well.  I find that having descriptions and recommendations from people who spend their professional lives in music, or who promote in the genres I like, have good ideas.

Here are two resources that have brought new discoveries to me:
