How do you explore new artist/band

I love music, i will check the music site everyday to listen the latest music, if suite my test, i will download and save. of course, i also will remember the artist.

for me i usually take the use of searching engines and find something there like "top 100 popular songs" etc., and then i will be able to find some new songs/music for trail and see if they are to my taste. besides listen to the radio is another good way: you can occasionly find some melody and songs broadcasting there are very good, and you get there names too, then you will have a object to look for when you are in the music shop or in the internet,buying downloading, i guess these two ways may be nice for exploring new artist/band...

I usually jsut hear of some band or a person from someone and hten i go to myspace to see if they have a myspace page that you can get on to listen to them and usually there is a myspace page because i think that everyone has a myspace page today but who knows...but that is really what i usually just wind up doing...that is the easier way for me...
