I’m in love with this band Air Traffic. They are so incredibly talented (the lead singer plays both piano and guitar) and their lyrics are amazing. I found them completely by accident. It’s what I’ve deemed as “Music Surfing.” Basically, I just go to the myspace page of a band I already like and click on their top friends. Typically bands have similar bands or bands they’re touring with as their top friends. So if you like the sound of the band you began on, you’ll be bound to like some or all of the bands on their top friends. It’s pretty nifty.
Since very few of my friends know about Air Traffic, it would have been difficult for me to discover them without Music Surfing. It’s also a fun thing to do while bored. Who knows.. you may discover a new favorite band.
Music Surfing tends to work with any website which has music. If you visit youtube a lot, just look at the “related videos” or “more videos: ____.” They tend to be related to either the same band (where new songs can be discovered and enjoyed!) or to similar bands. It’s simply a fun thing to do.
Try it out.
