Do you want to find new music, or are you hooked on a feeling?
Welcome to Gnod's World of Music
It's easy to get stuck in a music rut. That go-to iTunes playlist or Pandora station will probably do the trick, but with so much great music out there, why settle for the same old favorites? The infinite catalog of music, new and old, is a both a blessing and a curse. While music fans unfortunately have to accept that they will never be able to listen to every band, album or song, retreating to the comfort of your personal music library is no way to find your next favorite artist. Spotify 's latest curation features, Browse and Discover , are a push in the right direction, and Rdio integrates music discovery into its top-notch app with subtle recommendations from listeners in your network placed all over the player. These streaming services' social features aren't the only ways to discover new music, but they tap into what's key about successful music suggestions today: social curation. If you are on the lookout for new tunes, try these seven websites and apps that are perfect for social music discovery.

So what does this have to do with finding new music? In a similar vein, you probably hate a lot of the music your exes liked if you had a bad breakup—or love a song that you absolutely nailed at karaoke. If you want to chase a feeling, you need to be able to have that feeling in the first place.

Take your date to a club with loud music and an open bar, or an R-rated or violent movie, and the prospects of it going well are daunting. Thanks for pointing this stuff out. Even more lonely for myself as I have no one to complain this situation to.
