And if you're looking for more radio discovery sites, last.fm and groovehark radio have the largest selection of music in my experience.

reddit.com/r/listentothis and 4chan.org/mu/ have user submitted music content. Never been to the 4chan one but I've heard some things people post there and they're pretty good.

Two great sites if you like electronic music.  Most are available for free download

http://www.hearya.com/

 

http://www.daytrotter.com

 

Both of these sites have recording sessions with up and coming bands.  Hearya gives you 320 kbps mp3 for free. Daytrotter used to be free but now it looks like they charge $2 a month. Highly recommended if you like newer independent music.

Their "reviews" tend to be a bit hyperbole and because they're a store, they literally love everything... but there are samples for all releases and it's a great way to find new music every week.

since your looking for new places to find music and probably want to find new music, here is a few bands I have found on Bandcamp that i like.....

 

http://harbourband.bandcamp.com/

http://cloudkicker.bandcamp.com/

http://ezrafurman.bandcamp.com/album/the-year-of-no-returning-digital-album (This band is AWESOME!)

http://sauce.bandcamp.com/album/forge-through-future (great techno-ish music that is great to play some starcraft 2 to)

http://iamwren.bandcamp.com/album/nostalgia

 

A lot of the bands on bandcamp have a name your price for the albums and I find myself buying them once cheapish and then some times buying it again up to three times just to support the band, because I don,t buy music to own it I buy it to support the bands.

Soundcloud is a personal favorite.

Beatport's recommendations for simmilar music is addicting to go through too.

Mog. 320 Kbps streaming. Sounds better than any other service I've used.

 

Soundcloud. Music from the source.

Nice resource for new hip hop releases, solid reviews, good following. I also have found some real dope tracks in their player to the right. I haven't check it out much lately, but looks as if the music player itself has changed some, still good resource for discovering some pretty sick newerish stuff.

I also have a suspicion that some of the real gem blogs while not be revealed here. This is always a touchy subject I have realized on my time on forums.
