support non-mainstream music

independent music: if you are into an artist, especially an independent one, support the continuation of the creations you enjoy. This is a vital part of the process of turning the music industry around and shifting the power into the hands of the fans and artists. So please take time to search for art that is not necessarily presented to you through common forms of media. allmusic.com is a great starting point for finding more underground or unknown musicians that may be along the lines of groups you are familiar with. Whatever the case, experience new music from new sources, don’t shy away from independently produced art, and if you happen to enjoy it…support it any way you can, even if it’s just a comment on their myspace. Just becuse something isn’t saturating the market doesn’t mean it’s not worth hearing and/or seeing. The opposite is also true. Be aware of what you are putting in your mind, where it is coming from and under what circumstances you are experiencing it.
