How to Find New Music
By far, the best way I've discovered new music is through radio. Find a station with producers that you jive with and this will be a treasure chest. I was lucky enough to grow up in Athens (GR), where radio is really, really good. A big disappointment happened when I moved to SF (which, aside of KCSM - a great jazz radio - is a music radio disappointment). I was lucky to come across KCRW from LA, perhaps the best radio station in the US. I've been a member since before it became my local radio station. Couple other notables are The Current (KCMP) and KEXP.<p>The other big (meta-) source is surrounding myself with people with similar (or not so similar, but still interesting) music tastes. I've discovered a TON of music like this.<p>Yes, I've discovered a few things from algorithmic recommendation systems (e.g. spotify). But: (a) the quality of the recommendations hasn't been even close as good, and more importantly (b) there is <i>zero</i> emotional connection (i.e. like saying "oh, this is the band that Eleni showed me when we were camping in Yosemite").
