A really good way as was mentioned before can be sourced from films like "Juno" to "Garden State".
Another way is start with a singer or group that you like and then do your own research by reading reviews or interviews to what...
1) other artists songs they may cover
2) other artists they cite as influences
3) other artists whom they have toured with
4) others on the same record label
5) past groups they may have come from previously

Then use google search on amazon or even blogs and other music sites for actual mp3s to sample for your tastes/likings.

Take an example
Zero7 remixed a song called "Up with People" from a obscure group called Lambchop and then Sia Fuller a singer who had toured with Zero7 in the past also performed the song on her own.
Up With People (Zero 7 Remix 2000)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3aIckdYZ4Y
Sia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84s2gkwDA_s

Lampchop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5MbsPqYhXs
Then I found another cool group called Calexico used a muscian from Lambchop to record and tour with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67zr8xcutLs
