get an account on amazon and stick stuff you want to buy on your wish list
after a while you get recommendations similar to what you're put in your wish list
voila! new music!

Yeah I've seen that. When I look for reviews of a CD it always says, "People who liked this album also liked this one." it's cool.

yeah, epitonic is where it's at, or just lurk around message boards of other bands that you like and you'll usually find out about new bands that way too.

Ha. God yeah. Razorlight are so awful. And the frontman is well ugly and annoying. I'm enjoying this music map one. well fun. Tried to catch it out with Polyphonic spree, the closest was British Sea Power. That's wierd.

Ah, and also there is a bit o a bug. There is "Smashing Pumpkins" and "The Smashing Pumpkins" and "At the drive in" and "At the drive-in" as different entries, with different results. Still fun.

Yeah, my friends know fuck all about music. Discraceful really. Means I have no-one to talk music with, and nobody to go gigs with. In a wierd way, I've figured that the first step to learning about music is to stop listening to the radio. Singles are no good.

Means I have no-one to talk music with, and nobody to go gigs with. same apart from my brother if i didnt have my brother i probably would have been into some dire shit. also atdi helped me take a swift turn from music such as blink 182 - i'm pretty much indebted to them now |

In a wierd way, I've figured that the first step to learning about music is to stop listening to the radio. yeah same situation with me .. all of my friends like the opposite of what i like .. or if they do like what i like its for the wrong reasons .. like .. "oh the lead singer is hot" .. or "omg i like his shoes!" ... but i do have this friend though who i try to get into my kinda music but hes got a slow connection so i cant really send him songs .. so i lend him cds instead which i dont like doing 1. because im without some music for a couple of day s.. and 2. he burns them .. and i think if he really likes them that much he should go buy the cd or soemthing but yeah .. after high school i stopped watching television and listening to the radio for a long time ... it helped a lot .. also being the oldest child in the family sucks .. i had to discover everything on my own .. my brother on the other hand who is 12 has learned a lot from me about bands and stuff .. hes gonna be the coolest when he is older hahahha |

it's kinda weird like that with me...all my friends listen to hip hop, spanish, and R & b...and they get mad because i like my music. i'm sorry, i've always loved guitar music. from metal, punk, indie, reggae, rock and such...i've alwayes been intrigued by the almighty guitar,bass and drums. i actually feel alone out here. there's nothing like talking music to people. i fell in love with a lesbian (pink triangle?) she had the exact same tastes in music. except she didn't dig dredg........
