When wanting to listen to new music (or just new to you), how do you like those recommendations?
Like…by word of mouth, Spotify algorithm, blog posts, etc?

Blog posts are almost always a "year in recap" type post of what someone has been listening to most. Comprehensive but not necessarily new releases.
Spotify has been really good at surfacing new music I'm likely to be interested in.
A bit niche, but I love following the NPR Tiny Desk series. I tend to not know most of those artists and it's really fun to get introduced in such a small intimate venue.

Small music venues
For a long time now I check my phone if I hear something I like the sound of on TV etc… I then tend to explore the artists back catalogue and even read up on them.
