I've been trying and trying to find some half decent new music to download, but my random word searches are starting to prove useless now. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I like any music really, so it doesn't matter what genre it is...just anything you think i may not have heard of, that you think i might like....

yeah, thanks people

what about international music?

the two bands i've been listening to lately are Boy Hits Car and Phantom Planet..
but i'm not sure they're for everyone

gargoyle: what kind of international music? i've got native north american and celtic...what else do you suggest?

queen, thanks for those two, I've heard of boy hits car...it was more than a year ago i think though, lol. I'll check them out again...remember who they are

Bjork, Radiohead, Guided By Voices, Nuetral Milk Hotel, Talking Heads, The Pixies, Spacemen 3, The House Proud Town Mouse

if you want you can check out some sort of 'underground' new zealand bands at www.rebelmusic.co.nz and i think you can downlaod some stuff at www.punkas.com the site names may seem a bit cheesy but theres some good bands and they're not all punk...

Scatterheart: the only ones in that list I've heard of are Bjork, Radiohead, and the Pixies, That should keep me busy for a while

Profanity: thanks, I checked out the sites -- they're great

Success!

trying to take over the world person by person with band reccomendations?

Ha no

Savatage, Elend, Virgin Steele (NB: Has changed dramatically over the years), Falconer, Briskeby, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Ram-Zet, Sins of thy Beloved, Tristania, Faith and the Muse, Era, Therion...

Should be a bit of everything in there...

excellent
thank you so much!
