Music is one such area, and a new service, The Album Club, from Rough Trade records, aims to help us find what we want among the hundreds of releases each week.

Essentially you pay a £30 joining fee (which covers a welcome pack containing a Rough Trade 10th anniversary CD), choose whether you want
3/5/10 LPs, tell them your tastes, and then each month you'll get a package of the most suitable releases, together with some info on the artists, and access to club benefits, delivered to your door. If you really don't like a release you can send it back.

This month's featured artists include Mylo, Lhasa, and Jodie Holland. So if you're struggling to find good, interesting, underground music, be it guitar or beats based, The Album Club could be just the thing for you.
