I am always looking for new music. I am always looking for something that I haven’t heard and that isn’t being played on whatever “Top 40″ radio stations are still around. I can drive Kristin crazy because I can spend ridiculous amounts of time in record stores looking for something that is the perfect thing I have never heard before. And I do this because it’s fun to “discover”. It’s fun to seek something out that you (personally) have never heard of. It’s your discovery and most likely you love your “discovery” more because of that.

I remember about eight years ago, Kristin and I had just gotten married, getting on some independent bands site and listening to clips for hours and hours. This was before iTunes but still had the same idea. I remember being home alone and finding this album. Sure the cover was a little bright and weird, but the vocals were amazing and the guitar playing was something different. I ordered it right then. A week later when I got it in the mail, this album was all I was talking about. I was showing my friends, playing it over and over, and even forcing others to buy it.

With so many amazing talents out there writing music, everyone and their brother with the ability to record, and the internet, stumbling on to great “unknown” music is more possible than ever. So I wanted to start something where we can all discover “unknown” music together. What do you say? Eventually this will become it’s own thing called “musicyouveneverheard.com”, but for now lets start it here.

Let’s start a list of music that we love that others might not know about. Something “Independent” or something “Local”. Maybe even something that you just don’t think people know enough about. Leave a link to the artists website in the comments, and let’s all discover some new stuff. Sound good?
