This Is My Jam

One tool I've been using to discover new music is http://www.thisismyjam.com/

By new, I mean new to me... plenty of stuff I end up buying or listening to tends to be from the last 20 years of Indie-rock, rather than the last 3 weeks. it's a simple social media site where people post one track a week that they've been liking, and you can listen to a series of your friends music.

My current favourite track is Mega City Four - Stop.. a small time indie band from a town or two over from where I grew up. Jangly guitar music, with a distinctive voice and some great lyrics. The singer died suddenly at aged 42 about 5-6 years ago. By all accounts one of the nicest people you could hope to meet.
