I usually find out new music by watching AMVs, if I like the song, I try to find it on www.esnips.com , lime wire, dc++ or I'm trying to find a torrent with the song. I also recieve music from a friend who shares all the good songs with me :) He's not the only friend I have who shares music with me, but he's like a Dad to me adn i spend much more time sharing music with him :D And that's how I find new music 8-)

lastfm is perfect... there are a couple of people on there that always have good new music (hoshwa and atomx)... also rob da bank from bbc radio 1, myspace, a handful of podcasts, and yea... random forums
[b]hoshwa[/b] - http://www.last.fm/user/hoshwa
[b]atomx[/b] - http://www.last.fm/user/atomx/
[b]robdabank[/b] - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onemusic/rob/
I see it as the difference between someone asking for books you've stacked up to read or show others, and someone asking for books because they want to make a little "book fort" out in the woods.

Any number of ways. From an extensive network of music geek friends and contacts, to magazines and websites such as Last.fm.

New music is one of those things worth making an effort for.
I fear the little people.

Almost exclusively by personal recommendation (well no, not quite so easy - "persistent pimping by friends" would be far more appropriate) and through related artists: usually I will go and find that musician Y from band X also did Z, and go listen to Z. I will also listen to Z if it's known for being influenced by X, or has been recommended by Y. And the Z's roll on to infinity... at least 85% of the music I listen to was found via long-winded links to my top favorite bands, King Crimson and DDT.
