For finding new stuff, figure out what exactly you're into, then look at websites, find blogs to follow, wikipedia genres, pandora.com lets you make a radio station with artists you like and plays similar tracks, spinner.com lets you listen to a bunch of full albums just released, buy music magazines, look up songs you like on youtube and see what related videos come up, find out what labels the bands you like are on and go to their websites, you could even go to myspace and search bands you like, then branch out through their friends, who are usually similar artists. There's a lot of ways to find new bands... but if you aren't that into music yet, it'll get a lot easier as you start to know more bands and figure out the genres you like. Or you can be like me and just sort through tons of crap for a few good albums, but I don't think many people actually like doing that.
