I'm having trouble finding new music that I enjoy. When I'm running the same shit constantly though my headphones, it gets rather redundant and I find myself looking for new music. Problem is, most of the shit on billboard's site either suck, is old, or I already have it. I also navigate the VH1 top 20 for stuff. Someone, many moons ago, had posted a college top 30 site that was fucking awesome and worked great. Lost the bookmark however because of a format. Can anyone recommend some charts to pillage through for some new music ideas.

Maybe you mean CMJ's chart?

CMJ Radio 200 Chart (http://cmj.com/charts.php?chart_type=1)

Aquarius Records is one of my favorite music resources. All sorts of oddball stuff there with more an ear for quality than genre. The best part is the MP3s for new arrivals.

I also go to pitchfork occasionally, they cover a lot of good music altho they're disgustingly self-important.

Edit: Oh, and last.fm is a very interesting program, basically plays a random selection of music based on keywords or "similar to:" categories.
