How do you find new music?

[Jason1]

I really dont use anything but word-of-mouth. My friends will be talking about some band, I will be like "huh never heard of them I will have to go home and check them out." That happens often.

I also discovered quite a lot of cool bands at this years Lollapalooza in Chicago. Among them: The Constellations, Metric, Hockey, Phoenix, Arcade Fire, Yeasayer.

I also found these two EPIC threads:

I also will search by genre on google, things like: "Underrated black metal bands" or something like that.

Reading reviews is a good way to get pointed in the direction of new music. I go to Sputnik Music. I read Pitchfork every week or two.

The radio and TV. I find myself listening to the radio in my car and I constantly mine lyrics to google for later when I hear a song on TV.

At this point I have experienced so much music that I largely will search for new bands based on my current mood. For example, if I am listening to some Dub Step or IDM or Techno in my collection I'll google around for similar or new bands.

But definitely check out those two threads, they are full of SHITLOADS of amazing music. Epic stash.
