How do you go about finding new music to listen to? Since I commute, and can't really listen to the radio at work, I have to work at seeking out new artists to listen to. I keep meaning to try out pandora.com for that music-matching thing.

One of my latest favorite podcasts is the classical Concert at the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum. I'm ( Read more... )

If you are interested in jazz or blues music, you might want to listen to Ella Fitzgerald, Sara Vaughn or Billie Holliday (my spelling is optional) as classic vocalists. I don't have a lot from these artists, but it was my first start with jazz about 10 years ago and worked pretty well. I can bring something over for you to borrow next time I see you.

Also, based on Bob Mould, you might like Chroma Key.

I'd love to do some borrowing!

If you're looking for a good internet radio station, I recommend KEXP.org. They also have a song-of-the-day podcast.

WERS, WFMU, KCRW are other good radio stations with online broadcasting and/or podcasts.

Also, when I was on the bus today, I thought you'd really enjoy Iron & Wine, and also Great Lake Swimmers.

You still owe me my Mountain Goats CD, BTW :-)

Subscribe to audiography. Some weeks are topics that don't interest me at all, but I have found loads of music there that has sparked my interest in experimenting and exploring new groups. It's mostly pop, though. No brilliant ideas for discovering your tastes in classical.

You Want Blues? kickindancer January 2 2008, 22:39:51 UTC

I love blues. Im always expanding my blues collection. I started off by getting blues compilations and then deciding which artists I liked best and buying their albums ( ... )

I would be happy to hear a mix!

Only 435 songs. Heh.

I love classical choral music (Requiems, Chorales, etc.). Comes from being in choir for so many years. If you would like, I can make you a mix of some classical stuff I like and see what you like or don't like. Probably not all of anything, unless that's what you want....

I would never say no to a mix! You could pass it on through !
