How Do You Find New Non-RIAA Music?
burgundysizzle writes "Given the general reaction to the RIAA in comments, I assume that there are a number of users that try not to buy from RIAA sources. What alternatives do you use - or more importantly - what methods do you use to discover alternative sources of music? I use Sellaband.com (some free legal music available) and Amiestreet.com (new music is free and most music really cheap) to find new music, but I'm always on the lookout for interesting sites to discover new music. Tell me about your experiences and any other interesting places you get new music from. I'm looking for inexpensive, and legal."
Can you think of anything that under-21s can do that's as effective?
Go to all ages shows. Even places that serve alcohol will put on earlier all ages shows if there's enough demand.
This guy's the limit!

People like you are the problem in the world.
No one has a right to their *own* opinion. They have a right to the TRUTH.
There's something very satisfying about handing the money directly to the musician on the CD.
Then there's something pleasantly surprising when said musician says "If you like it, and want to do us a favor, make as many copies as you want, and give them to your friends" after handing you the CD.
And If you legitimately don't have the $10 they're selling the CD for, they'll usually give you the CD for however much money it takes to buy gas to get back home.

Yeah, move to a different country :)
From Denmark, legal drinking age is 18 (in bars, you can buy alcohol at the age of 15 in supermarkets), but if you don't drink we (the student bar) often allow minors in to see the music.
