While I'm pretty sure this doesn't offer the intellectual discourse you're looking for, http://cherrypeel.com utilizes a very reddit-style voting system to promote underground, independent music. I've discovered some fantastic new artists from this site.

right after I posted I saw that I had missed you already recommending this site. Yeah not the disourse, but a well done and interesting way to find good new music.

The forums at www.waffles.fm -- I have never seen a place better to make a post "I like such and such obscure bands/types of music; please give me recommendations." I've also discovered a great amount of new music by watching the internal top10 lists.

Email me, I have some invites...

If anyone is interested in chiming in further while we are here, I'd be really curious to know the top ways people are discovering new music right now.

For me it is: Sirius XM U (formerly Left of Center); Hype Machine; Pitchfork; Songkick (for finding shows in my area); URB Magazine; Fader Magazine; OHHLA Top 25

"HN for music?" What does that mean?

Hacker News is a place for people who are passionate about a subject to talk. The equivalent would most likely be a forum discussing classical music, or a form of music that requires similar dedication.
