New Music

[namyrb]

Ok so I'm getting pretty bored of my collection of music. was wondering if anyone could point me towards a newer band where the members are alive and still playing... all the bands I like are either gone from the earth or tour every 5 years.

Here's some of the stuff I listen to now: Hendrix, Marley, Zeppelin, Wes Montgomery (+ other random Bebop), Sublime, Rage Against the Machine, Steel Pulse, Aerosmith (the old stuff), Ben Harper (Already saw him - awesome), Dream Theater, Stevie Ray Vaughan... I have a LOT more, but I listen to all of my cd's so often I'm in need of some fresh music...

I'm pretty flexible, but I just don't know how to find stuff. All of my friends either just listen to the radio (which only plays top 40/hits that go in one ear and out the other) or listen to the same stuff that I do...

Any suggestions?

Use teh internetz. I ain't gonna sit here and give you a list, but here's some blogs I find new music on (all of them have a middling-to-low success rate of having anything good up, but that's better than most places to be honest).

I use the internet. Skulk around last.fm for ideas or just look at what other people on here are listening to.

check out imeem or playlist.com...

I usually use UK TOP40 for ideas:)

or just type in some of your fav bands at pandora.com and it will play some beats that are similar to song/album/artist you entered and why it plays it

I'd recommend Pandora.com as well. I have found ALOT of good music that I'd never heard of on there.
