Monthly Ipod Rotation

My process for finding new music to suit my mood is this: Find the band I'm listening to on myspace (i.e. Fleet Foxes)
Then click on their top friends, and their top friends, etc...and listen. (a lot of digging-takes a whole day or two) And yes, musicians still use myspace.

If I find something I like, first I do a search on itunes to see if it's there. If it's not, I do a google search to see if it's available anywhere else for download. The best find of my latest search was The Black Atlantic. The album was free to download and it led me to a label's site that has others for free downloads.It's a great album and I recommend you grab it.

Here's how I spent my $50 itunes gift card recently (I was stocking up for the semester and putting together a care package for my friend Molly to get her through her last month of pregnancy)

Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago
New Buffalo: New Buffalo
Marla Hansen: Wedding Day
My Brightest Diamond: A Thousand Shark's Teeth
Sufjan Stevens: Seven Swans
Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes
The Swell Season: Strict Joy

I love sharing new music. I hope you enjoy these albums as much as I am.

May a good song play on the radio.
