I got all my new music over the last couple of years from college radio
and from a CD store in Raleigh that would let you open up any CD and
listen to it (plus they kept hundreds of the most recent releases
already opened, and a half dozen CD players nearby).

Word of mouth has never served me very well, because few people that I
meet in real life share my musical tastes, and people online often
misguess them.

Actually, it's funny - the person who has most accurately predicted my
likes and dislikes lately is Deb Frost.  She gave me a promo copy of
Collective Soul's last CD, which turned out to be one of my favorite
albums that year.
