Most of the time now I’ll look at sites full of illegal MP3 downloads. I’ll listen to the tunes they post, and then go LEGALLY BUY the tunes I like. Love them or hate them, those blogs still are nice picks of things one should check out.
I also sometimes look at charts, even the Beatport Top 20s in different genres. I think it’s silly when one decides to say “no” to something simply because it’s “popular”.
Another thing I love is to find live sets of DJs I love, but only go for ones that have tracklists. I’ll listen to the set, pick out what I want, and then go shopping.
That is a Cool way of Checking Out Tracks 🙂 :);
I still have 600 Cassettes in my room of Radio 1 Essential Mixes; and I spent some time downloading the Tracklists so that in the Future (why is it always ‘The Future’ :)) I could listen to them again with a View to Buying the Tracks I Enjoy Most (I Don’t Care How ‘Old’ the Track may be as I Believe in Some Tracks being ‘Timeless’);
Unfortunately when I was at School and would hear something ‘Magic’ on John Peel; but then maybe 3 months later it may be a Number 1 Single in the Chart (and then ‘Dismissing’ it); but that was my Immaturity I Feel;
Now I look for Tracks that Create The Mood that I ‘Wish To Portray’ (like an Artist); and if that track happens to be ‘Jinny – Keep It Warm’ (a remix Obviously); then so be it 🙂
