What's your main source of obscure music? Is it here in sharethreads, essential charts, etc
posting charts in the meantime
I trawl the sharethread archives.
Recent pleasant surprises:
Okhotsk - 1
Osamu Kitajima - Benzaiten
Khana dok mai pa - Thui chai dam
>browsing specifically for obscure music
I just browse normally and sometimes an album I'm interested in happens to be obscure
>>63624752
oh i do the same, heh i can't find your first example anywhere online
>>63624809
i guess I mean exploring new music in general after having listened to most /mu/core and wanting more areas to explore
At this point most of it is usually somewhat obscure
sharethreads are garbage
mu circlejerks about the same few genres, artists and labels to no end
if you want to actually expand your taste you can start by playing around in discogs
see an artist you like, see who he worked with, and then you start to to find stuff
rym can be interesting sometimes but remember that the community is not very diverse
and no, I'm not talking about top charts
people bash lastfm but I've found decent stuff from the recs
since they are based on tags and listeners, you take the human factor out, I think it gives nice results sometimes
blogs are good to both find and download hidden stuff, since they try to stay hidden from the big labels and copyright claims
other than those, read
articles, news, books, hell, even wikipedia is good to find music
but yeah, like this guy said >>63624809
don't go look for music solely because it's obscure, dig for whatever you find interesting
>>63624710
I generally don't download as much music as other people, I find, so a lot of the new music I find is either stuff that comes up in conversation with friends or interesting looking stuff I happen to come across on here.
Go to vintage record stores, or really anywhere that sells old music that most people don't want, and look for any covers that catch your eye and are unrecognizable, then steal it. Steal whatever you can really, even if you have to resort to share threads you gotta steal steal steal. The best deal is free baby. And when this starts to get boring and you're music starts to feel less and less obscure, especially since you have to keep up with all of your beautiful patrician friends (which you have definitely made at this point or else you haven't stolen enough yet) who are close to finding out your true plebdom, you gotta start finding the most obscure forms of music. The type that usually has one existing copy. That's right, you gotta start breaking into homes and stealing every graduation video, children's piano recital recordings, and even wedding tapes. I'd recommend casing the house for a couple days to make sure that you know when its safe to break in and achieve your true form, but if you're a little impatient I'd recommend carrying a gun or something to protect/intimidate yourself from any disgruntled residents who will fight to the death to protect their sacred art. If your gathering turns to bloodshed always remember to leave piles of salt near the door in your music room, to keep away any vengeful spirits. Do not exorcise the tapes because the ghosts may effect them in unique ways, leading you to have to most patrician collection. Follow these steps and you will be whole again.

sharethreads have been waning in quality, you're right
I've found a lot from exploring wikipedia genre pages, I'll stick to that and discogs
>>63625134
do you have a musical group of friends? or a music scene around you? my friends dont really give a shit about music past their own handful of stuff
>>63625384

what's this?
>>63625658
not really, just friends from various places who happen to be into music. Most of them also browse /mu/ actually.
>>63624880
>patrician pop
You mean pretentious anti intellectual horse shit.
