1. Radio stations are still very helpful - after years depending strictly on my own choice and command I've found again the pleasures of listen to the radio. I actually turn off my playlist every once and a while to get the news, old songs, new stuff, or just to miss what I like a little bit =)
2. "Have this CD player been here this whole time?" - This sentence is not really my case but I know people who totally forgot they have other piece of equipment besides the i-something. Since I still buy cds and am even considering spend some money I don't have on a vinyl player, you can see I have some backup
3. Youtube - also a good help with the advantage of finding official videos, old and live material of great bands. The problem is to keep stimulating people to take their cameras to concerts and filming the whole thing, a very unpleasant and frequent experience these days..
4. Singing out loud - so you don't have any source of energy to plug any kind of device? Just sing! Are you in public? Start really quiet and try the tunes everybody knows. Maybe you will get a smile or someone to follow and make the backing vocals.
5. Any random music channel on TV - to me this is the poorest option but sometimes the only one. Just breath and have fun.
