You are watching something, and than bam!, comes along this music from a perfect stranger or a band of perfect strangers, sending shivers down your spine, making the hair stand up on your arm. Eyes locked on the screen and ears tuned in to the music, you start groping your surroundings for pen and paper. The old drill with a bit of Shazam at times spicing things up with this funny feeling of safety it gives you the moment said perfect stranger becomes unanonymous; feelings of gratitude and fondness rushing in, making you question whether you owe the better part of this to serendipity or to sheer luck or to where consumerism has gotten us, or to all three at once.
2. Active google search with highly descriptive query content and high use of filter.
3. Youtube recommendations or basic youtube search of compilations, where listening to a bit of what's uploaded gives me ideas about the user. If I like their uploads, I'll continue listening to their lists of songs often made in a certain genre, through to the end and then use Youtube's own recommendations.
If not, I enter some song I really like and use Youtube suggestions until I see something foreign to me.
4. Lurking in the forums until I spot someone with lots of similarities to me who makes me think the kind of music we tend to enjoy would also turn out similar, and then skim through their messages until I find some sort of thread in which they have contributed, often with more than one recommendation. Then, I follow these people.
5. A periodic checking of late night non-stop radio music being rotated in specific channels that I've come to like. There will often be something in it for me.
I don't do friends, magazines etc anymore. I don't do paid channels with a vast database of music either. They're too easy to get lost in.
