Jul
Generally, I don’t listen to the radio. There isn’t one at work, and I don’t have a band expander in my car. I don’t watch tv, generally, so I rarely watch music videos (apart from the rare times at Kenwyn when The Second Quarter has the Juice Channel on). So generally, I only get new music when its been thrown in my face by other people, with “OMG – You must listen!”. Except that that situation happens less and less as time goes on.
So lately, I’ve been making the effort to discover new sounds, sweet crooning melodies, and clever drops, and lyrics I want to sing along to (even if an open plan office). I’ve been scouring the internet, and have discovered some clever places like downplayer, that provide 10 free mp3s everyday. There have been a few blogs here and there, and I’ve come across a few songs which I’m loving, but generally it means trolling through alot of crap I don’t like to get to stuff I do. Where do you find your sounds? And what are you listening to right now?
Anyway, in the interest of sharing, this is what my July sounds like, so far:
Kandi – One Eskimo
Welcome Home – Radical Face
Meet me in the City – The Black Keys
The Underwood Typewriter – Fionn Regan
Hustlin – Rick Ross (Prince of Ballard Remix)

I have the same problem! My radio in my car has terrible reception, due to a crappy aerial, so I never listen to it. And I don’t often watch music videos so I never hear new music unless I go looking for it or get it recommended. Funnily enough the place I find most new music I like is now in video games. Poets of the Fall for instance :D
Thank you SO MUCH for reminding me of that “Welcome Home” song – I heard it a couple of years ago and fell in LOVE with it and haven’t heard it in forever. Isn’t it beautiful?
I get most of my music from listening to the alternative/indie/new music shows on BBC Radio 1, then keeping a log of the corkers and hitting up beemp3.com or downloading the album. Have you heard the song “Punk Spirit” by Wave Machines? I think you’d enjoy it :)
