YouTube is how I discover new artists. I explained my methodology in another thread: So is this the paid version of YouTube? I still use YouTube the way I always have. I use plain old regular YouTube, same as you. However, I pay attention to YouTube's suggestions that appear to the right of the video. So one album listen may result in five or more new album suggestions. I use the right-click Bookmark This Link... command and save any new suggestions in a "review later" folder. You keep at that a while, and you'll soon be inundated with albums/songs to evaluate. My "review later" folder currently has over 600 album/songs in it. |

I struggle these days, I tend to go off recommendations from online bods; or failing that I still subscribe to The Wire, which I work through and take photos on my phone of things which sound interesting, so I can remember to youtube 'em later. Other than that, I tend to buy a handful of cheap CDs in the experimental section in Manchester's Vinyl Exchange, if it is on a cool label, has good cover art, or has some names I vaguely recognise. That's a hit and miss tactic, admittedly.

Other people is the obvious one.
Mainly it's music blogs like The Quietus, Resident Advisor, FACT, Tiny Mix Tapes (RIP), A Closer Listen, Crack Magazine, Secret Thirteen. I also frequent RateYourMusic charts and lists a lot, particularly in the more niche genres.
I've also taken to scouring bandcamp a lot. There's so much unsigned stuff on there that is superb. In fact I'd say my two favourite albums of the last two years are just a couple of people doing their thing in their bedrooms and don't have a record label at all.

TV shows like 'Jools Holland Later' & the chat shows hosted by Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel, Howard Stern (he still going?), Graham Norton etc.
Live platforms like KEXP, Jam In The Van, Audiotree, Pitchfork etc. which are usually available as youtube samples.
Spotify which throws up similar suggestions, ditto youtube and Amazon Shopper.
Conversation with young people at work.
I have an insatiable appetite for new grooves, so I'm always on the case and open to new listening ideas.

YouTube, Sputnik, AllMusicGuide, and RYM are the big ones. It's easy to go down a rabbit hole if you keep digging into the "if you like this, you might like that" or "similar artist" recommendations. I also tend to check out a lot of "end of year" lists to find new artists that seem worth checking out.

Funnily enough, I've seen some old/classic/vintage (call it what you will) porn that had Led Zeppelin music in it. I'm pretty sure they had no idea their music was being used and the people watching it never bothered to tell them or their record company.

I find most of my new music on Spotify. If you like this you may like this. It's like a never ending rabbit hole.
Plus I get free Hulu so that's a plus
