Artists you discovered accidentally
I'm pretty sure everyone does this from time to time. What are some artists you've discovered purely by accident? I don't mean just things that have popped up randomly on youtube or last.fm, I mean when you're doing something completely unrelated and you somehow find out about this amazing artist you never heard about.
I found one of my favourite solo artists completely accidentally. I was browsing through a site looking for a download link for some free drum software. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a thing saying "Download" so I clicked it without actually reading what it was. Turns out it was a link to a free album (_BATCH1 by Cerulean Crayons if anyone is interested. Ambient guitar stuff which I highly recommend) which used the particular drum software I was looking for, and the guy who runs the site was linking to it as a showcase for his software. I checked the album out and loved it, but I would probably have never clicked it if I'd just seen it kicking around some webpage I visit like, once every six months.
What about you guys?
