hey yall, i was hoping some of you resident music "lovers" would be able to help me get into some music not made 20 years ago.

basically, i'm in a rut as far as my music habits and filtering are. i used to watch MTV, BET, and listen to the radio (yeah, i know i'm dating myself with that one) to listen to new music. but nowadays if it's not something that catches alot of hype here, i don't check for it.

what i was wanting from you all is either to list places you learn about new music (besides here) or bands from the past 5 years that you really like.

if you know of mellow yet lush and full music that is catchy i would definitely give it a listen. i'm not too particular about genre, although i tend to be more of a hip-hop head, but i'm more of a golden-age fan than of the newer stuff. i do like Action Bronson, A@AP, and Kendrick tho.
