facebook q&a

2010 - January 15

Do you think most of the music you hear is good or bad? And where do you get your music?

Brian [B]: Most of the music that is played around me (radios and stranger) sucks ass. I find music from hunting on the Internet, and by friends oppionions.
Steven [M]: most music I hear is not interesting. I get music from searching labels artists and test listening to new shit on Bleep and Boomkat.
Henry [P]: I second the Baker
Wes [A]: my iPod, and good
Jeanette [L]: so you think you can dance. (jk???) blogs. magazines like redefine. people with good taste (there aren't many out there...)
Billy [S]: Pretty Much Amazing and Hype Machine. I don't have a car so hardly listen to the radio. All the music I know is from finding it or friends, so most music I think is good...
Kevin [T]: There's this band called Waves on Waves that I heard was pretty cool ;)
Tim [S]: Most of the music on the radio I don't like. I still buy CDs. Imagine that. I still buy vinyl, new or used. And I listen to Pandora and download music too. It takes effort to listen to music that only YOU like.
Alex [B]: good; pandora
Dillon [R]: I wish Redefined would start a radio station in the southeast and that is how I will answer that question.
Neil [D]: My favourite thing to do is go round to friends places and spend hours going through their records. Also Im lucky enough to live near London's best independent record shop - it'd be a crime not to use it. I use the internet a lot. I do download music and mixtapes as mp3, but I also buy lots of records so I dont care. I prefer to buy the actual record (rather than itunes) so the shop gets some money. There are a couple of music blogs I keep tabs on. Also label websites are a good source for new stuff if they are the genre-based kind, and are likely to have similar bands to the ones you already know. I sometimes hunt through myspace if I have a spare hour. It's sometimes pretty rewarding to check out bands who are linked to bands you already listen to. Swapping Spotify playlists is good too, but I hear you guys don't have it yet. Most of the stuff I hear outside of personal recommendation and hunting the internet is usually pretty lame - but that's nothing new.
