Acts of Volition
Anyone, who has talked to me over the past year, knows that I've become a bit of a music geek. This transformation occured because I discovered that the Indie music scene was alive, kicking, and producing music that was much better than anything I was hearing on the radio. The music I found in the Indie scene was so much better that I stopped listening to the radio and started buying lots and lots of cds.
Some people ask me how I find new bands. Well, sometimes I read Pitchforkmedia.com for what's new and hip, or follow the suggestions of Amazon. Quite often I get recommendations from friends, but most recently, I started listening to Steven Garrity's Acts of Volition Radio, which was recommended to me by a co-worker.
Steven has recorded 7 shows, of which I've listened to the first 4, and so far, I've found at least 3 new bands or cds that I need to purchase.
Before he is done, I'm sure he'll convince me to buy more. I really love the format of AoV, and given my tendency to rave about new bands and cds that I find to anyone that will listen, I may try my own hand at a radio show. Due to bandwidth limitations, I probably won't post the links here, but if you'd be interested in hearing a show by me, drop me an email.
