Working at a record store helps but my last job required me to sit in a car six hours a day so I got a lot of listening done. The problem I usually have is keeping track of newer releases when I go on a kick of a certain genre. Right now it's going back and listening to essential jazz albums I missed while also going through some RYM lists that highlight avant-garde obscurities that strike my fancy. It's a full time job and I don't really get to many current year albums but I try to reserve commute time to newer stuff on Spotify that I've come across.
