Which sites do people use to find out about new music? I've got a growing list of sites that I go to at least once a week, but I'm guessing there are dozens more. So much good music coming out these days.

All these sites are great for listening, and in most cases actually downloading an MP3 of the song right from their site.

http://onethirtybpm.com/

http://www.listenbeforeyoubuy.net/

http://themorningafterpills.com/

http://www.qthemusic.com/

http://www.metacritic.com/albums

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/ <-- Easily the best one I've found so far. This guy will have Jay Z in studio one day, and the next be playing brand new Arcade Fire that was mailed on Vinyl to him directly from the band.

The music at these sites is hit and miss, as would be expected, but overall they have a great handle on new music.
