What are your favorite music sites to discover new musicians?

Fluther. I have been introduced to a bunch of new musicians on this site.

@marinelife what do you search?
any notable artists?

i like last.fm. just type in an artist you like and they recommend others, or scrobble your itunes or whatever music player you use and it recommends other artists to you.

I’ve had a good run with last.fm since joining in 2007. Some musicians will message listeners who listen heavily to a particular sound/band/artist and ask you to give them a listen. Aside from that, the feature that picks new music based on what I’ve listened to before has revealed a few keepers.

@dreamwolf I just look through the various music threads.

I use soundclick , although it contains mostly unsigned artists there are quite a few very talented individuals/groups there.

I use last.fm too. That and Allie.

4chan
I wish I was kidding.

Last.fm for me as well. I also hear about a ton of great music from dverhey and Allie as well lol

I first heard the awesomeness of Ratatat because of 4chan

Turntable.fm, Last.fm, /mu/, Tumblr (by looking through tags.) Also check out forums of your favorite artists (if they have any), I’ve found some neat bands that way.

[mod says] I’m closing this discussion, since it’s become a spam magnet for some reason.
