How do you find out about a song or band?

[X02WyvernLord]

Do you hear them on the radio?
Some, mark down the time and station then call them sometime

Does your friend get you to listen to a song?
Yup, usually he/she has the song's name and band

Do you find them on AMVs?
Oh yeah, youtube+commets=Song name/artist guarentee

Anime, movie, or game soundtrack?
Yes, simply ask about it. Yahoo anwsers gives you a list of songs to try, so to find the actual song use project playlist to find it

How often do you you love all but one or two from that artist?
Almost all the time...

For me, it's normally through the radio, random video games (like Tony Hawk or Skate, maybe a Need for Speed), stumbling into Yoututbe vids, some word of mouth, Project Playlist, and sometimes I'll watch an anime that has a good enough soundtrack that I'll pick it up too (right now I have both Wolf's Rain soundtracks, and I'll probably pick up the BLEACH soundtracks at some point).  

[MaxTheFirst]

I find them by either watching a TV show (not like music videos, but an actual show-show) or typing random words into the search box and see if artists come up.


Do you hear them on the radio?
Sometimes, but I tend to get annoyed by songs that play on the radio or have music videos. I mean, not all of them. There are a handful that I listen to.

Does your friend get you to listen to a song?
Nope. That's my job. I pass the music around.

Do you find them on AMVs?
Uhh...nope. I don't spend so much time watching videos.

Anime, movie, or game soundtrack?
Movie soundtracks are definitely a good source to finding good music.  

[Ethereal Cereal]

Random downloading binges.

Then I sort through them when I get around to it.  

[Verendum]

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch with microphone there is an awesome app called Shazam and if your listening to the song you just record the song for like 30 secs and it tells you what it is.  

[MentallyScarredBySkittles]

Through Fuse, VH1, and whatever my friends are listening to in the middle of class.(:

[Evil Penguin Overlord]

Mainly I find songs through recommendations from friends or last.fm. Sometimes the radio, but that's getting rarer and rarer.

In regards to liking just one song or liking all but a few songs, happens to me all the time.

Either that or my friends recommend them and I go on a YouTube spree, searching for their songs.

And glory in my soul.
