What's that music intro

🧡❤️🤎💚💜💙

For metal and hardcore bands I've found looking up the band shirts they wear in their promo photos to be an easy way to find new stuff

I miss the days when a great way to find new music was just simply by striking up conversation at music stores or MTV after midnight even

Spastic hair

Hey! I upload new music everytime in my channel 👋

i love that most people skipped 5 mins ahead :)

There’s a music store near me called grey whale and I’ll do to the cd section and see what genres interest me then find a cool looking album cover.

David Toop: Ocean of Sound was one I picked up for my music degree. Still have it. :)

one of the ways I've found new artists is rhythm games. the amount of different styles of music used there is insane.

I love wandering around Bandcamp

I use RYM, but instead of only going through genre chart, i look for Various artists compilations.

So, for example, if i only know about Joy division as post-punk band, i go to their page, search for Various artists compilations. So i can find box sets, with like 4 cds of different artists, and then i can check them out. I also check their va compilations. I also save names of these compilations in a Word document.

At this moment, i have around 50-100 written down compilations in various music genres. There are probably around 1000 artists on them.

This is especialy important to me when it comes to brand new artists.

great venue in London: Cafe Oto

The Vinyl Factory / Factmag are okay too but clearly commercial.

Would be awesome to have a full list of books about music you read and recommend.

I used to live in Scotland and my go to was and continues to be The Skinny. I’ve been in Australia for eleven years now and I always read the Skinny’s album reviews because they feature underground Scottish artists that don’t get a mention elsewhere. And living in Sydney we have The Brag, which is out local equivalent. Point being, any part of the world with an established popular music culture has local guides and a lot are great. So probably check them out. I think the Skinny may be cream of the crop as we all know Scotland produces the best music in the world for its size 😉

Search genres on Internet radio stations from around the world (e.g TuneIn) as these will give you the name of artists of the songs that interest you

England's Hidden Reverse is outstanding, you'll have fun with it. I really enjoyed Cosey Fanny Tutti's 'Art Sex Music' too.

i found out about bikini kill through a book, cinderella ate my daughter. wasn't the greatest book but at one point the author was like bikini kill is a great band. i don't know if i want my six year old daughter listening to a song called suck my left one though and twelve year old me was like that sounds dope as hell.

i also find a lot of music through film and tv. started listening to wastewomxn from high fidelity, got into the crystals from adventures in babysitting, heard about css from moxie, got into ccr from logan lucky, etc etc.

If you like Krautrock and Japannoise then Julian Cope's excellent books Krautrocksampler and Japrocksampler are worth reading.

twitter has been basically my de facto source for new music as much as twitter kinda sucks ive discovered an immense amount of shit there

Miles Davis autobiography is a great read

RateMyMusic is a site I used very often to search for new, cool music. Especially looking at good genre lists for albums.

I must ask, I don’t if one would consider this a bad habit, but does anyone else skim thru a couple songs on an album on Spotify and see if the album “rings with you” so you could listen to it later?

Cause the sound of an album really sticks with me and I feel skimming can help someone understand the prominent sound of the album, but the album’s songwriting & structure may be lost out of that process.

I look at album charts on 4chan's /mu/ board

Anybody interested in the grunge scene, Five Against One by Kim Neely is a great one that compiles interviews and experiences from Neely as she travelled alongside Pearl Jam

What is that Pink Floyd book you got there? Love your channel

BIRP has always been great for dream and synthpop

last fm was great for this

Shazzam is in middle of my home screen

i find alot of underground metal just by browsing bandcamp or just going on the metal archives and looking at the similar artists tab on pages for bands i like

Usually If I have an idea of what sound I want to hear. So I make playlist and songs I know that sound similar. Then I listen to the music recommendations. I also like find A.I Machine learned playlist of genre. I tend to go r into rabbits. Which can yield some cool stuff. I found out about Sparklehorse through that. In all disorder a secret order.

I use radio and records charts and old editions of Billboard to hone in on a certain era.

Sideman and label exploration usually yields positive results.

I also listened to Black radio in NYC during the 80's and 90's where there were two competing stations with huge playlists. Classic soul, currents, jazz, fusion, and smooth jazz were some of the many styles played day and night. There was less emphasis on a rotation especially on Sunday and at night. I kept a notebook of artists and songs and it was full.

Amazon about a decade ago allowed customers to create lists and they would pop up when on certain related artist pages. Both Amazon and Discogs use cookies but the ones at Amazon are not as good as they used to be. On Discogs, you can cross reference all of the titles a current or reissue label has put out. Amazon also has a weekly and a 30/90 list of current titles.

The Penguin guide to jazz is about the best reference book out there.

When I started my collection back in the mid 90's, I bought a nice stack of various artists compilations so that I would have variety right away. Then I focused on one current and one classic with one for items that were going out of print. Cut-out and promo bin allowed for cheap buys from an era that I liked but the availability window was quickly closing as styles were changing.

lmao what about discovering some hoes

Thanks for this video. I learned too much from it. Upload more Videos. Go On...

bit late, but The Rest Is Noise by Alex Ross is a must-have, honestly it'll expand your music taste immensely

I often use personal playlist not made by Spotify

Usually I go through the obvious first: related artists on streaming services, then the artists playlist. I then go through the artists social media accounts and who they’ve played with, recommended, and tagged in certain posts. Then, of course, their influences. Then I usually look through comments on blogs at who people recommend (I trust fans tremendously), then the producers they choose and who they’ve produced in the past, THEN I end with checking out small zines and groups that put on shows and host anything involving the arts. Usually the underground scene is well documented within these little groups and blog posts.

But after a while you had all the generic ones and there seems to be no kind of music I haven't heard.

'England's Hidden Reverse' is a great read. Some books that really opened up some new artists to me: Simon Reynolds' 'Electric Eden'; David Stubbs' 'Future Days' and Simon Reynolds' 'Rip it up and Start Again'.

fan-tah-no

My favourite way to find new music is to stalk random peoples' collections on Bandcamp and click on things that have cool cover art lol
