I don't know if it's been discussed here too much, but Garageband.com is a GREAT site for musicians that want to get exposure and want to get some critiques of their own music.
You can register for free--write up your bio, add gigs, sell CDs--and you have the choice of either paying a small fee to upload songs OR you can simply review other songs from independent artists and these reviews will count as credits in order to upload your own songs. Songs can be entered into 'Charts' and the higher the material is rated by other users, the higher it goes up in the charts and the more people that are exposed to it.
I find it great for a number of reasons--you get unbiased feedback on your music, you get to hear unsigned artists--many of which are quite good--and you get to advertise your music and gigs to other people in your position.
Anyway, if you haven't heard about this site, definitely read more about it at http://www.garageband.com.
