I actually have a routine where I require myself to listen to at least one album I've never heard before every single day. It took a while for it to become a habit, but doing so has helped me discover a lot of music I like. When listening, I often write down tracks that I'd like to revisit in particular. I either listen to 1 LP (full studio albums) or 2 EPs (extended plays) to meet the daily "requirement." The problem then becomes knowing which of these albums you want to listen to, but for me, it's easy to narrow it down by genre. I like a lot of progressive metal/djent projects for instance, so I can go diving for those, a lot of which are instrumental, and I fuck with that too.

You should post what you listen to so I can listen along

I might start doing that!

That's incredible. I was writing out a lot about how it's one of those things where if you're not great at it, you can just glom on to somebody who is, but was having some difficulty with the wording and scrolled down. So are you feeding @Gorillatactics album recommendations now and if so, can the rest of us get in on that?

I could...
