I feel the same, but I don't think that's the issue; the problem is that there is such extreme amounts of new music coming out everyday, and "everybody wants to reach everybody", i.e. a lot of artists are going for maximum exposure. You can hardly contact relevant blogs etc, because lists are being sold so unscrupulous bands can send out thousands of promo emails. That said, there really should be a recommendation service focused on small but active artists. I hate that spotify etc is turning music into an on-demand commodity rather than a socioculture art form. For the interested, music journo Liz Pelly has a lot of good pieces on this topic.
