A month or so ago I came to the realisation that even within my few niche genres of interest, I simply cannot keep up with the volume of music being released. Admittedly I do a reasonable amount of sifting by hand, a couple of hours every day... but I haven't found any alternative to finding the stuff I enjoy that doesn't seem to get mentioned anywhere. Most blogs are too general, or narrow and not quite to my taste. Last FM style tools are too shallow.
Ultimately it doesn't matter as I have more music that I enjoy than I can possibly listen to, but still it's kind of disconcerting. Years ago the limiting factor was the record store, but that's a thing of the past, and there's seemingly more of everything now.
How do you cope? What happens from here?
