i need new music!

some of my old favorites are only playing large venues now, and really i can't deal with anything larger than webster hall. other bands whose older albums i loved have put out very meh new releases. i only read 2 music blogs now, and the mp3s i've sampled from them don't excite me. the rare occasion now that i make it out to small/local shows, i am utterly unimpressed. please help.
