Where do *you* get your music? (1 Viewer)

[Goodbye]

Buying a Last.fm subscription and listening to artists stations or recommends has been whats introduced me to new music lately.

And the records (downloads) I've bought as a result have been cheap as chips (dollar) and go either straight to the artist or the (non major) label.

unfortunately I get most of the music I buy on amazon these days. Some from iTunes and some directly from labels.

jesus I miss Road.

from the irish times recently:

i wonder if anyone here can help me … for 12-24 months or so, ive been looking for someone to open up a music shop in the twisted pepper – a space i have on middle abbey st. I view it as purely a space , but its primarily a music venue/club, although we’ve opened an award winning cafe within it, and a bookshop will be opening on may 01st, and music studio in may too. these operations are all run in the space independently of what we – bodytonic – do there. i do similar ideas in the bernard shaw too, and we’re adding loads more

so we’ve done this sort of thing plenty of times, have a rough idea, find someone good to match it, try it, see what happens. my music shop idea is this. im looking for someone who’ll run a ‘music shop’ . they’d sell vinyl, cds, old tapes. tee’s, clothes, gadgets, movies, books. new , old, across the board. the sorta shop you’d ‘discover’ or learn something, or just hang out as opposed to having the latest stuff. the choice on offer needs to be good, the person selecting and running it needs to know their stuff, be passionate, friendly and open. we’ve also got a studio for recording, and stage and AV setups for the more creative retailer to do all sorts depending on their ideas – recording sessions, talks, seminars, gigs, webcasts ala the boileroom – loads of things really, its a blank canvas of an idea . im just about to reinvest a load of mula in sound, light and AV in most of the rooms from next week too . add to that its got alot of human music traffic, and there’s other people in there to provide an entreprenuerial support network, its worth a shot.

anyway if anyone is interested , or knows of anyone who is – send me a mail : [email protected] .

I think so - You need to have been scrobbling for a good while before it starts to make any sense though.

Also, you can save yourself a couple of quid by selecting Dollars. Weird glitch.

You can buy a 1 month once off for like €3 to try it out.

But being able to play artists radio is what makes it for me and the recommendations based on what you've been listening to seem to be very intuitive.

Can we rename Thumped, ThinkingOutLoud.com
Cos its happening a lot lately...

For a music forum, there isn't a lot of music talk.

I steal mine. Doesn't everyone?
The only place I ever buy a CD is at a gig.

I buy second hand cd's a lot. Or I steal.

I get most of my recommendations from last.fm, or sadly enough, whatever everyone is talking about on twitter.

 

[SomethingManic]

For recommendations I usually read reviews that I can trust, or from people with similar music tastes.

 

[jonah]

Trial and error for me

Planet Sound on Channel 4 teletext used to be fucking great for music.

 

[jonah]

Jesus I haven't heard the word teletext in years!

i scroll through facebook often and just hit play on everything. its not as good since that awful 30day song challenge thing appeared.

 

[jonah]

I particularly enjoyed the '30 day challenge for dickheads' alteration.
