Similar for me. I have less time to keep up with new music like I used to. I normally always found a reliable source to take suggestions from, be it a zine, music mag or blog, but it's been harder in the past few years somehow. I make an effort to find out new or old bands/artists all the time, but it's normally thrown into a time frame that involves me being off work, the few hours I have left for myself, relationship duties and socialising. A few of the newer UK bands I find out about is because we go to gigs often to take photos. Especially in places like the George Tavern. Also, a string of bookmarks and trying to be pro-active about it. I also rely a lot on people I've been friends online for a while and normally seem to be located in the US. When it comes to pop music, my partner is mostly into it, so I get to listen to a lot of transgender peeps I have never heard of on a regular basis. And a lot of reality shows which I compromise on only because of love.
