I'm not sure if this has been done, but what are the best places in cyberspace to find out about music you don't know about, or find out about your favorite music. (or anything to do with music)

not that i would ever do this -- it's illegal plus i already know / have everything already *cough* -- but, i have heard that some folks find people on p2ps with really rad stuff, and listen to what else they have, and that is how they discover new stuff. really!

kazaa * piolet * soulseek * etc...

breezy, Sunday, 19 June 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

I have some more...

http://www.themilkfactory.co.uk/ - electronica (not so dance) reviews & good features
http://www.failme.net/ - electronica & dance reviews, follow-on site from what used to be absorb.org
http://sonomu.net/ - collaborative/user submitted reviews, listings etc site
http://www.gardenofearthlydelights.com/ - straight outta Milton Keynes. What a hero! Great (free) mix CD's (for the price of a CDR + s.a.e.) I never seem to manage to tune into the actual radio show, but the guy picks up on a lot of interesting things whilst never being remotely hipster about it. I would have given him the John Peel slot.

http://betterpropaganda.com/ - industry mp3 promotion, but still good (not too vanilla).
http://www.gabba.cc/
http://music.for-robots.com/ - great mp3 blogs

http://www.mp3.com/ - substitute for allmusicguide being broken & unusable (this uses the same database) not quite as useful as (old)AMG, but it'll do.

http://www.soulseduction.com/
http://www.nuloop.com/
http://www.juno.co.uk/
good sites (on dial-up) for checking out samples of records instead of using p2p. I've never bought from any of these though.

http://www.netsounds.com/ - search independent retailers UK wide
http://www.musicstack.com/ - same deal, but international

fandango (fandango), Sunday, 19 June 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

http://www.google.com/ search with +"index +of/mp3" music

(replace 'music' with artist/title/word of choice to find surprising & random things in open directories!)
