Pardon the title, watch too much West Wing episodes today.
Ok so here is the question:
How do you hear about new music? Other than this place I mean... as that goes without saying.
Since among my friends, I'm the guy who knows... I have no one to tell me about anything anymore.
I rely on a service called Rhapsody. It's 9.95 a month, and I know I could do it for free... But I like knowing I'm not out of bounds in any way, and besides, it has almost everything I look up, gives me names of other bands that are related, often has reviews that are actually helpful, and when I find something I like, I can order it.
I have my laptop running through my stereo, so it's a great way to give things a test drive.
Anyone else use something like this?
I also get a lot from Downbeat... though the magazine has gone downhill as it's priggish views skyrocket.
