New Music Blogs/Websites

[HotHotHeat]

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://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.

Number 45 could be 1-50 and then some. That song made it downright dangerous to turn on local radio for a few months.

Thanks for the blogs/websites above!

I have been listening to www.yesindies.com lately and have found it to have great music during the day although I have no idea what the occassional dj is saying as it is all in Asian. Don't they have good indie in Asia? It is all NA & Euro artists...just a random thought.

www.nme.com got a bit frustrating as they are playing about 75% old and 25% new and has turned into my CJ92 on my internet radio dial. Too bad as they used to be the best around and on Wednesdays would critique all the new releases before they got rid of all their DJ's.

Another site that I didn't see mentioned is : http://www.indierockcafe.com/top-ten-songs/ which is a great source to click on a button and hear the top ten songs. Pretty good stuff also.
http://rcrdlbl.com/ Is another site to check out but if someone could fill me in on if this is legit or not? They seem to have good music that you can download from this site but anyone know if this has the artist backing?
