it's easier to separate the wheat from the chaff too when most new music is streamable, on Myspaz at the very least. It's like the modern equivalent of a listening booth but you know, lamer.
If i take any new music recommendations seriously they are word of mouth - MB for one and RYM is brilliant, even if the userbase to some degree reflects the opinions of the music press they are quite a discerning bunch.
It is the same old problem though that we all moan about when shopping in the local air hangar/supermarket - too much choiiiice, it's hard work just to find what you went in for
