WotAGuy Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I know there are lots of music lovers here with eclectic tastes. Broadcast radio is pretty sad in Syracuse (but the "Blue Moon Cafe" on Sunday mornings provides some relief - though it's almost entirely old stuff). I have found internet radio to be a good listen. I am a member of WFUV (wfuv.org) and listen to other internet radio stations, such as KEXP (Seattle), KUTX (Austin), KGSR (Austin) and The Current (Minnesota). Many of them put out CDs each year with the best of their live in-studio performances. KGSR and WFUV are particularly good, as is KFOG's (San Francisco). My current favorite station is KCRW (KCRW.com). They have an all-music channel "Eclectic 24" that is quite good, interruption and commercial free, and is a source for new music for me. Where do you find new music? Edit: Noisetrade and Bandsintown have been good sources, as well. Edited August 22, 2014 by WotAGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 New music? No one's written any decent music since 1998. And get of my !@#$ing lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 for new music I primarily look into bands & musicians that I read about in magazines & online. most I find to be unimpressive, but a few turn out to be really good (the most recent band to come along that I like is Ghost). I generally don't like much of the newest music out there, and I loathe top 100. I've listened primarily to metal for most of my life, but even most of the new metal is insipid and overly processed sounding with terrible vocals. I find myself listening more & more to classical and orchestral music, especially Russian composers like Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff. And get of my !@#$ing lawn. I actually say that whenever anyone younger than me gives me grief....it's always good for a laugh, especially if you call them 'whippersnappers' too.

Azalin Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Crackin' me up! So, what exactly was that "decent music" written in 1998?? didn't Tom Petty's 'Free Falling' come out then? I'm sure that's what he's referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Crackin' me up! So, what exactly was that "decent music" written in 1998?? C'mon, man. Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On." Cher, "Believe." Aerosmith, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Britney Spears debuts with "Baby One More Time." Need I even mention that landmark album, Van Halen III?

boyst Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 if this is new music i do not want any new music i love mmmbop, call me maybe, roar, and Garth Brooks. For music, I listen to Sirius. I'll come across a song I haven't heard on Octane I like, but that is seldom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 WXPN - Philly, xpn.org, very similar to KRCW...singer songwriter centric, always on the cutting edge. Their national show World Cafe Live is one of the more respected radio programs around I know there are lots of music lovers here with eclectic tastes. Broadcast radio is pretty sad in Syracuse (but the "Blue Moon Cafe" on Sunday mornings provides some relief - though it's almost entirely old stuff). I have found internet radio to be a good listen.

Gugny Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There is more than a handful of regular users of this site who are in tune (no pun intended) with the new music scene. I'm not one of them. Off the top of my head, Poojer and Jauronimo come to mind. I'm sure they can refer you to others. Every time I throw in a classic, I hear something new to appreciate. I do get into some new stuff and it's normally through word of mouth or on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
