I read reviews. I ready probably between 10-15 reviews for albums a day, and i pick the ones which sound good. I also read reviews of things i already like and look for references to other similar bands. I'm spending a good 6 hours a day on my computer listening and reading about new music, and hear probably 2 new albums a day. It's been this way for probably 5 years. And to be honest sometimes i DO get bored, because obviously not everything i hear is good. In fact, it's usually only 1 in maybe 10 albums i hear that really make me want to give it a more dedicated listen. So for every hour of good music i hear, i hear 9 hours of complete shit to decent music. It does bog me down, but when i do find something i like a lot it makes it totally worth it. One day i will slow down with my consumption, and when that happens i'll be set from all the good stuff i've found, so i still consider all this listening to shit music worth it.
