Boards
DiScoveries of the year, so far...?
What have you discovered via the DiS site recently? Be curious to see a breakdown of what you've found via the boards vs via the site.
Some optional additional qs: Have the local columns been good for finding new acts? Have the genre columns been a good guide to areas of music? Do you check out bands you're not aware of that we run audio/video of as news? Have you found stuff via Spotifriday or my blogs for Spotify? How often do you flick through the album reviews of bands you've never heard of? Is there anything we're not doing that you'd like us to do or bring back? Which sites or services do you discover music via?
For me the main band the boards have turned me on to is Mount Kimbie in a big way, and we've hopefully backed this up with editorial coverage.
Also, if you have a sec, could you nominate DiS here: http://www.btdma.com/index.php/awards/voted and if you haven't done so already, here too: http://seaninsound.tumblr.com/post/684147452/probably-the-only-list-that-would-pit-me-against
