I don't really. someone will usually tell me if there's anything too terribly good... and there rarely is.

I get a lot of cd's sent to me for free that have a lot of upcoming artists on it.

i heard maroon 5, john mayer, jack johnson, howie day..and countless others before they became more popular.

Radio, and the free to air music channel on TV. But mainly radio.

Also, if there's a band I really like, I check out their fan forums and find out what kind of music is similar... then might download a song or two to see if I like it ;) Found lots of my favourite bands like that. And yes, I buy cds, save the lecture.

I search newsgroups and IRC looking for bands I've never heard of. I've found tons of good lesser known bands that way.
