New Musicfinder Mainstream adds recommendations
In the Musicfinder section there is now a map promising jaded pallete rejuvination.
Here's how it works - you know what you like, but as you've now listed to 'Waterloo Sunset' 43,271 times you'd like to see if there's anything new out there that might be able to hold a candle. Well I've taken the stress of listening to dross and pointed you to some bands I know you'll like.
I've started in the Mainstream with the first map (As befits a site such as this). More to come, the only criterion for inclusion is that the music must be really special.
Click on the name to find out why and listen to some samples - try it!
