I also recieve music from a friend who shares all the good songs with me He's not the only friend I have who shares music with me, but he's like a Dad to me adn i spend much more time sharing music with him And that's how I find new music

Any number of ways. From an extensive network of music geek friends and contacts, to magazines and websites such as Last.fm.

New music is one of those things worth making an effort for.

Almost exclusively by personal recommendation (well no, not quite so easy - "persistent pimping by friends" would be far more appropriate) and through related artists: usually I will go and find that musician Y from band X also did Z, and go listen to Z. I will also listen to Z if it's known for being influenced by X, or has been recommended by Y. And the Z's roll on to infinity... at least 85% of the music I listen to was found via long-winded links to my top favorite bands, King Crimson and DDT.
