I'll probably put this in the other thread ("How do you find new music?") but something dawned on me here. I find new music differently than others.
I listen to most/pretty darn near all the music that's offered here, and a lot of it is good - really good - but other than a handful of things - Neal Morse is the biggest, Ayreon/Star One seems to be the second - a lot of it doesn't stick. It seems I get a lot more music from my surroundings than other people do. I shazam the FUCK out of things. I'll be in a store, restaurant, bar, airport, whatevs, and be shazaming like a fool (yes, I'm that guy that is standing there with his arm in the air hoping the phone can pick up the music wafting through the room). Radio, Sirius, TV... all good sources, and since I'm a melody guy, that's where a lot of music I like comes from.
