I do a bunch of different stuff mentioned above, including listening to actual radio, mainly BBC 6 Music.
An idiosyncratic approach I use a bit that works really well with streaming services is to get some software to display a full screen of new albums as front covers, and then without reading anything just see if a cover interests you, for whatever reason, this is a don't think exercise, then hit play. Oddly this works as well or better than other music recommendation systems I know.
