Music snobs help! Get in here!

[bowener]

Sadly I haven't been keeping up with music very well for the last 18/24 months or so, and I need to quit fucking around and start listening to some new shit.

I'm primarily interested in alternative rock/indie rock/punk (some pop-punk)/and I guess shoegaze type shit too.

I wouldn't mind links to some good music blogs or online magazines to read about bands or you can just dump youtube videos on me if you want. I would prefer both I suppose.

Thanks in advance for educating the shit out of me.

I've pimped in other threads, but check out Youth Lagoon.

But yeah. There's a whole thread for this in like v 5.0 that I believe someone linked. Just find people in that thread who you think have good tastes and watch for posts from them.

Why not check out any of the "Now Playing" threads in this very forum? I've discovered quite a bit from them.
