What are your best resources?

cheers,

ps - oh, and please do not put individual bands' website urls up here! let's keep this to general resources that we can all use. thanks!

There's this great site called Pandora. You should check it out.

Great post, love Gorilla Vs. Bear.

I love www.Aurgasm.us. Simple posts, excellent content.

I'd like to think mine is quite awesome, too.

This was previously called Pedros Broadcast Basement (it is often referred to on the station that way still). For electronic and occasionally eclectic this is a BRILLIANT station. These guys must scour the the globe to find some of this stuff? I often find brilliant stuff unavailable anywhere (you guys, iTunes, Rhapsody, etc.) Laurent Garnier who's baby this is is a well known figure in electronic music. The station broadcasts out of Paris. Sometimes (usually daytime) it is unavailable? It also has a very cool web page design with many other interesting music bits. The radio portion is what I refer to here. Enjoy it.

ps keep up the good work, you are invaluable!

I'm partial to the Puritan Blister blog: puritanb.blogspot.com. Lots of covers, mashups, and remixes that never see full commercial release. Very well curated, and updated several times a week.

You guys are fantastic. I'm an old (47) college student and noise tends to distract and bother me when I'm trying to study or do work. I found you folks during a casual search for radio stations, I plug into the computer, type in Spyro Gyra and I'm off and going for hours of uninterrupted enjoyable work time. And talk about aleaving stress! Thank you for this! Being the poor college student that I am, I don't have excess funds floating around, but if there's anything else I can help with or do, let me know. Again, I really appreciate you folks and what you are doing. Mary Howard

I am currently exploring online radio stations.
My favorites are:

www.finetune.com.
They have a great desktop player. I am able to find music by genre which I miss in Pandora.

http://thinner.cc/main.php
Great electronic music with free downloads.

Some other favorites:

www.rinfm.com
www.lastfm.com
www.somafm.com

And of course Pandora.(I have over 17 stations) The music and project behind it is superb.

Since I�m a Metal Head, I use for Metal-music info, releases and new band adds:

Metal Storm:
http://www.metalstorm.ee/home/index.php

Great site you could find tons of info there

And of course: THANKS FOR PANDORA!!!! \m/

I find epitonic to be a great resource for new music.

One of the finest web-sites regarding hard rock is, the australian-based site www.melodicrock.com , really a nice place to stay tuned!!

www.musicbrainz.org is one of my favorites.

what a cool place to stumble upon...
Yay spring and good tunes!

I used to dread going on line for just about anything. Now, not so bad. Only after I bring up Pandora, do I surf. As the late, great, Stevie Ray would say, " Thank You so Kindly"

Of course they are a competitor but yahoo music seems to get a lot of Hip Hop singles before Pandora. I have used Yahoo Music for years and I just started using Pandora. To get the latest I would suggest looking at the top ten singles here http://music.yahoo.com/musicvideos/default.asp

Also http://www.hiphopdx.com/index is a nice site to hear about new artist and new mix tape music for Hip Hop.

Keep it up Pandora!!

I like www.idolator.com. has a nice mix of new material and some archival stuff.

There's this amazing website (ranked a tad lower than Pandora!) www.musicovery.com. Check it out.
I also think Yahoo's Launchcast is pretty cool.

here is to say kudos to your efforts.keep keeping it right.

I use this a lot (because I like Prog Rock I suppose).

Wikipedia and Amazon are both in regular use too.

does anyone know any similar as pandora but where europeans can become members. Finetune is good but its not very well informed in prog and tech death metal which are my areas of interest. Any suggestions?

Great for contemporary jazz fans

Lame is it may sound, I actually still find a lot of bands on MySpace. Current favorite is Wormsloew out of Savannah, GA - http://www.myspace.com/wormsloew

I've really heard some great stuff on MySpace.

I wish that there was a way to listen to several songs by the same artist consecutively v/s artist with similar styles.
