thought it would be interesting
basically, just say how you got into/found out about the band you are listening to. if you arent listening to anything, just pick a band.
ill start with arctic monkeys
and of course, i found out via NME. when they started going on and on and on about them like they always do with new bands.

Modest Mouse was the first ever indie band I liked (I didnt even know what indie was until a year later). I heard their song "Ocean Breathes Salty" online and thought it was weird (now its not weird at all to me) but good, so I got their CD Good News For People Who Love Bad News and loved it. I never heard music like that before, and in my mind it was groundbreaking stuff. I was like "man, more bands should make stuff like this" and once I found out there was an entire scene of these bands, I became an indie kid.

The Game
He featured on 'This Is How We Do' with 50 Cent and he also was on 'Hate It Or Love It' and so I bought his album, and his new album! Probably one of the best hip hop artists around at the moment.

Sick Puppies ~ Well, I loaded YouTube and I looked at the videos at the side and there was someone on a Skateboard so I thought it was something good but then it was the "Free Hugs" video with Sick Puppies song All The Same playing and then at the end of the video, the Sick Puppies website came up so I went on that and that's pretty much it.

I Concur - They just messaged me on myspace. Usually I just ignore bands telling you to listen to them because usually they're bad and just looking for comments on their page, but this one caught me because it looks like they were actually looking up people with similar tastes in music as them. They told me I have an ace taste in music (mentioning Band Of Horses, Twilight Sad, Broken Social Scene Radiohead and Wilco), so it obviously wasent just one of those huge spam messages.

They're pretty decent.

I was looking up similar artists on a website and they recommended FATA. Liked them for about a year and a half now and as I went and saw them last night I thought I'd buy the new album, which is awesome. Different(because of the vocal change) but nonetheless great.
