Where is the best place to find *new* music

7/16/2025

It used to be, the "hot 8 at 8" or the "7 at 7 that don't suck".

That, and the basement of barnes and noble, and maybe also the wall at recycled sounds.


Now? I think the best new music is on soundcloud.

Folks are always trying to get their music heard, through all kinds of Reddit links such as "check out my new song" etc. And guess what? Many of them are really good. You'd never hear them this early on youtube music.

Don't like Justin Beiber? HIs new song 'Daisies' is actually pretty good. Is saying "actually" an insult? With Justin Beiber, I don't think so. The song sounds like Ra Ra Riot. Is that weird?

Wet Leg shows up catchy with 'Mangetout'. This song sounds bashy. They hate some of these dudes.

Where is the Hit of the Summer?

7/10/2025

It's July- where is the feel good hit of the summer?

In order to be the SUMMER hit, it has to blow up late spring or in summer.

So, no Shaboozey (sorry Shaboozey), probably no Chappell Roan (come on, it's good but the statue of limitations for summer is very short).

My vote: Benson Boone.

'Beautiful things'? No too old.

'Mystical Magical'? No have not heard it yet.

'Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else?' Getting close, but maybe that is too old, in terms of hotness.

Ok, ready? You're going to hate this. You shouldn't though.

'Mr Electric Blue.'
