So where do you get your music?

Ever since I checked in with the swag thread a couple weeks ago I have been both enthralled with the majesty of OFWGKTA and shocked, shocked that I had never heard of them before, and that's when it hit me that much of the cool new music I hear comes from this board and its apparently more music savvy than I denizens. So it hit on me to ask y'alls: where do you get/hear about new music? I'd love some pointers in the right directions,  and with the diverse opinions around here I bet there will be some interesting answers.

In terms of where we hear about it or where we buy it?

I use Boomkat for most of my electronic needs, as it's closer to the heart of electronic music - Europe. Domestically I buy from Mimaroglu for more out-there stuff, Aural Exploits and Reckless for the odd guitar music release. Also Forced Exposure on occasion. For digital stuff, 7digital usually has awesome prices but their selection is touch-and-go (and the search function isn't the best). Bleep is Warp-affiliated so for things from that label and certain subgenres of music (particularly german techno), it has the best selection and deals. At this point, surprisingly little of my music is downloaded from google. 10%, maybe.

For hearing new music, I just troll Boomkat's new arrivals every week and make educated guesses on what I'll like based on the sound samples, and if I do like it I make note of things like label designation and remixers to get a good sense of likeminded artists.
