Good explanation as to why I don't hear of these groups. They aren't publicized well.
I happened not to read music review websites... I found out about music artists that are new to me, mostly from my emusic.com subscription, going from one artist's download page to another and another, jumping all around, sampling stuff... if I like the song clips, I usually download that artist's entire album (legally too, 'cause its all licensed) Plus, there's Pandora.com where you make your own music channel and occassionally you'll get artists that you never listened to, related to what you already like. Then, of course, College Radio with its broad freestyle format. I've been listening to WPRB Princeton University at least since the mid-nineties. I also listen to radio broadcasts that are sydicated over the Web... my favorites are Virgin Radio UK, KCRW - Santa Monica, California, and University of Bergen and U of Trondheim, Norway. Look at www.vtuner.com - there's a database of Radio stations all over the World that broadcast over the Web.
