see sig.
Its a great site, despite the occaisonal downtimes.
amok:
jumping on the profile-whoring bandwagon - warning, I mostly listen to gay German synthpop so look elsewhere for indie recommendations ;)

the last.fm player is really good, you can feed it an artist and it makes a little radio station based on similar artists. so it's like Pandora but without the sucking
also the downtime is made more bearable by the fact that every time the site goes down, it almost inevitably has an awesome new thing on it when it comes back

I never really use mine for getting into new music though. It always recommends me crap.
Rubby:
--- Quote from: Paper Beats Rock ---But in most cases they don't even know where to start! If they were saying something like 'hey, I heard modest mouse on the OC and I think they're really good, what other indie music would I like' then it would be better, because at least then they're starting from something that they like. What I mean is that if someone is going in completely blind then how do they even know that they like the music? Yet they seem so determined that they're going to get into 'the scene', so it's the image of 'the scene' that seems to be drawing them it.
--- End quote ---
Yes, yes I agree. It's awfully superficial to just arbitrarily decide to listen to a genre. And also the scope of "indie" is huge. I really don't think you can just say "I wanna get into indie". However if something perks your interest, then by all means, go seak out similar bands. But to say something like "Tell me how to listen to indie" just seems...well...kinda masturbatory.
