But a few of my favorite old bands are still making new releases - but not getting much radio play for the new material. So I've resorted to looking for their new stuff on Youtube, and then digging around to buy the new releases I like. My wife's always asking why I spend so much time on Youtube - but then she goes, "Oh, I really like that song" when I find a nugget buried somewhere.  |
Actually I don't even check out YouTube for new releases of my old favorite bands. Unless they're the likes of Metallica, most of the time you never hear about their new albums these days. I do check out songs from the new releases on YouTube though.
What I do is check out the band name on Wikipedia and scroll down to discography. I do this a few times a year, keeps me pretty up to date with new releases. Add new discoveries (for me) to the list and I have a never-ending hand-picked collection of music that is now about six months' worth of non-stop listening.
