    I listen to a couple of "radio" shows on Mixcloud that regularly feature new music. Also in Mixcloud, as well as Soundcloud, when my playlist or whatever else I chose to listen to ends, they keep playing music. Not sure about their algorithms but sometimes I get something good. Or weird.
    Also bands I follow on Facebook often post tracks of different artists that they like.
    And of course live shows and music festivals. One band on the playbill? Show up for all bands and see if I like them or not.

    Digital for day to day. I have a crappy data plan and limited bandwidth at home (just all costs too damn much). I only stream for new music, then I buy/download. I love being able to control what I listen to, can't really do that when streaming.

    I love buying cds and vinyl, there's something about the ritual of putting the disc in or the record on the player and sitting back and listening. Album art and lyrics are what I miss when I buy/download digital.

    So far I've missed Ivardensphere and Strvngers. I'm also going to miss out on Terminus: Shockwave, a three-night industrial music festival. I'm heartbroken about it because I've never seen Mesh or Android Lust in concert before.

    It really depends. I love the look and feel and smell of books. I like having them on my shelves to gaze at lovingly and with fond remembrance of the stories within. I cannot read a book on the bus or in a car. I can, however, read on my tablet on the bus.

    I like being able to increase font size and adjust brightness. Not having to use a physical bookmark (or bending the corner) to mark my place. Just turn on tablet and continue where I left off. Also it's so much easier to take ebooks out of the library!

    I still buy physical books, and then download the epub. I do prefer physical books for pictures and maps.
