is the random obscure music they introduce me to. Every magazine has some kind of a gossip column, and in those they mention random songs they’re into. I’ve discovered so many great songs this way. I’ve also learned about so many random bands that never hit but various magazines backed up thinking…

For me it’s slightly backwards.  I found out about most of those garage bands via radio shows, garage comps, or discussion groups/forums.  Old mags came later, and then I was astonished to see garage bands mentioned in them!  Who knew some of them got coverage in the mainstream media back then…
