Where do you get your music from?

[Sauceee]

I'm having trouble finding places to download newer music. Limewire doesn't really have a great selection of newer, less mainstream stuff. So unless I find it on here, I don't have anywhere to download newer music.

My question is, where do you get your music from?

[Genuma]

your mom.

[FullCollaspe]

From music stores. Can you believe that!?

[Sauceee]

yo you're cool Genuma.

and FullCollapse, idk if you mean physical music stores or not. But where I live, we don't really have many. And if you mean digital, I only use iTunes when I get gift cards to it.

So, there ya go. =0 gamel

sorry dude.

[mrnegativezero]

I actually go buy physical copies of CD's from music stores. Unfortunately it's mainly from big stores (Best Buy, FYE) so it's overpriced. Sometimes I go to my local used CD store or Amoeba.

It's shocking, I know.

[mattandlater]

order em from bands myspaces or smartpunk.com

I can easily blow so much money at Amoeba.

[Richard Maxim]

I exclusively download everything and if its good enough, I buy it off amazon.

[Wobbie]

your mom.
Hahahaha. I was hoping this thread would have good responses, and BAM! First reply :-d

If there are no record stores near you, order shit from bands/labels webstores. Usually cheaper, and they more often than not throw in some great freebies.

[symbiote28]

i hope i can come across more online sites for me to buy from.

[nerdvglc]

amazon mp3 store most of the time, that shit's nice. smartpunk.com if it's not on amazon, and if i absolutely have to i go to best buy or target, but i don't really keep up with my cd's anymore.

[jeremypeele]

well if you are looking to buy cheap used cds, go to half.com. they have almost every cd and some are as low as 75 cents. Shipping is only 2.99.

i buy loads of used cds from there.

[TangledUp]

At first, torrents and various places on the internet. But I end up buying every CD I like.

[reesa]

this bird sings some pretty kick arse tunes out my window every morning.

nah i like walking in to cool shops in the city and they play like...indie experimental shiz that i've never ever heard in my life before. and then i try and search up lyrics and find the bands. rarely works.
this site is pretty good. and last.fm.
and some magazines.

[TangledUp]

Yeah I second this site. Last.fm is alright, Pandora is even better for finding new music.

[guitarpickheart]

Half Price Books, Best Buy, and/or Exclusive normally have the albums I'm looking for.
Sometimes, if I want a more popular album I'll order it from the library catalog and it's free. I find it funny that no one I know has figured out to do that yet.

[Tautou107]

I usually buy it if it's from bands I already know/like, but if it's something I'm just checking out, I'll get it off mediafire or something so I don't waste my money on something I might not like. If I do like, I end up buying it, going to a show of theirs, etc.

[HometownHero]

From the FYE i work at or the Hot Topic in the same mall. Target across the street from said mall. All you fuckers in this thread that only download free music are fucking pathetic

[anthonydarko]

I throw a brick into a record store's window, jump in, and take everything while laughing.

[RuckerPark]

i think he's saying besides the places you can buy from and/or leaks

besides the ones mentioned, i like
www.strikegently.com (http://www.absolutepunk.net/www.strikegently.com)
www.daytrotter.com (http://www.absolutepunk.net/www.daytrotter.com)
http://bsidesrus.blogspot.com (http://bsidesrus.blogspot.com/)

[radxbandit]

try your local music store, itunes, amazon, live shows, etc.


for fuck's sake.

[Sauceee]

Wow, maybe i got my point across the wrong way.

I do buy everything I like off of iTunes when i get giftcards. What i'm having trouble with is finding music I like. So i need places to find new music. Thanks to the people who got that.

Sorry to the people who didnt.

[fiascoh]

itunes, fye, bestbuy.
oh, yeah, barnes & noble actually sells good cds too.

i try not to download online TOO much, but when i do, i use strikegently.
the guys who run the site are obnoxious, but they usually have what i'm looking for.

[FueledByRock]

iTunes, fye, Best Buy, and when I'm in the UK, HMV. Amoeba also has a lot of good music.

[HoldThatSound]

To download for free:

To buy the hard copy:

Best Buy
At the concert

[Javs]

just search the album you want into google and just add ".zip" or ".rar" after it. Simple. Works every time.

[I am Mick]

Oh, you're asking me where you can steal from?

I love how cavalier people are about this.

This.

I like to try before I buy?

[SweetThye]

I seem to discover a lot of really good bands that I've never heard of from this site and Purevolume.com.

[xAnti-Violentx]

Soulseek! haha. atlhough it's a pain in the ass, you can find some great stuff.

[UniversePaul]

Right? My new years resolution was to not illegally download music anymore, and believe it or not i haven't this entire year. It feels great. I buy a few CDs on impulse, but you can usually tell if you will like a band from their myspace, purevolume etc...

I'm not gonna hate on those that download, but it does feel good to support bands.

[bradsonemanband]

last.fm
it-leaked.com

that's all that i use, but i find a fucking ton of new music on there.

[andthetruthwill]

I use Bull Moose Music in Maine. They have a point system that allows for a future purchase at half price when you have the same number of points that the purchase costs. You can usually special order a lot new or used there, and it's a decent service. They don't have everything, but they do have the most and best selection of anything around.

I use Newbury Comics at times, usually for first week sale prices, though they often don't have the advertised disc in the store, and you can't order things there, and they never seem to care anyways.

Other than that, I frequent a number of album blogspots. Maybe ninety percent of what I look for I can find. At google, just type the band name then the words "album blogspot" or the band name, album title, and then the words "album blogspot." It will take to you useful places. from one, you can usually link to others. Always check the quality though, most of the time it's good, but occasionally there's a bad or poor quality rip.

[TangledUp]

This.

I like to try before I buy?
Definitely. I mean, it's our hard earned money, of course we need to sample before we buy.

[vincelac]

I try to buy atleast two, if not, more CDs a paycheck. I feel like I'm not giving the artist anything if I buy it used though, so I try to go with new.
