Seeing the hype around the new Radiohead inspired me to actually go and check them out and see why people are so excited. I had only heard Creep before this. Turns out I really like Radiohead. As far as new stuff goes, I think Daydreaming is pretty great, whereas Burn the Witch is not really my speed. Overall, though, I think Fake Plastic Trees is my favorite. It's always awesome finding a 'new' band, especially when it's a band like Radiohead. Makes me wonder what else I've been missing out on.
Oddly enough, I have been listening to Scala & Kolacny Brothers, a Belgian women's choir, when going to sleep this week.
I made that number up, obviously. The actual criteria seem to be: However even if the track is under those play limits, the artist themselves cannot have either: Which does a solid job of keeping at least half the front page music I've never heard of.Our goal at r/listentothis is to highlight new or overlooked artists. In order to maintain this goal, we have put limits on the popularity of submissions:
Submitted track cannot have over 500,000 plays across all media (youtube, soundcloud, spotify, etc.) 4 million plays ("Scrobbles") on Last.FM 250,000 listeners on Last.FM Three or more tracks with over 500,000 plays
Listentothis has a lot more accessible music than indieheads, but its a lot cooler cuz of that too ;)
