As I get older I find it harder to find new music that is good- non-mainstream. I usually hear new stuff through the community radio station I listen to but lately they have not played anything interesting to me.
I feel so old when I listen to the commercial radio stations or watch MTV- I do not recognize any of the new bands.
How do all of you find new music?
I need something new to inspire me..


Thanks!

I still do magazines. Paste is a good one. They contain free sampler CDs and the demographic skews older.

My husband gets Paste. That is good- I do not think I read the last one or listened to the CD either. Guess I should do that.
The local community radio station I listen to plays a lot of stuff from the Paste Cd usually which is good. It is free form and local dj's play what they like so that helps to find local musica as well
I must say I have only been on myspace once... I am sure Jersey is going to cringe when he reads that..

I think myspace is good if you already have a name and you want to know what they sound like. Every band in the world has a myspace page.

Like Erin said, just go to the music section and browse the genres, it's a great way to find new bands that you may like.

I like my bands to have some kind of pedigree. I can't be a fan of any joe shmoe that lives down the street.

So U DON'T like the new Paris Hilton?!?!?!?

That's because we know class when we see it!

Very cool- Thanks! Love it!!

shanti0608 said:

there is another song ALL about me called MeltInYoLove - and the lyrics to that one have been toned down considerably

ZombieKitten said:

Your lucky to have songs written about you..

shanti0608 said:

it's weird and a bit embarrassing sometimes! but it's the ultimate romantic thing isn't it. It's funny to me hearing a girl sing it!

ZombieKitten said:

It is romantic. I've written a good 3 or 4 songs for Mon. The music and singing is nothing special, but she likes them, and it seems to mean a lot to her.

You're very lucky.

Heck, even someone playing something for you that they didn't write is enough for me.
Someone serenaded me once with a guiter. :swoon:

I covered Prince's Nadeara and I Miss You. I just sampled the guitar from the original, cut it up a bit and looped it, just added some keys and used it as a chance to do some nice harmonies.

Which reminds me. It's all on minidisc and I still haven't managed to put it on the computer let alone on to CD. I'm scared I might lose my music. It's really nothing at all, but it has meaning for me.
