No problem. Nowadays I rely a lot on what Spotify recommends me in the Discover Weekly and New Releases Radar playlists. I do use the /r/japanesemusic and /r/kpop subreddits as well to see if there's anything that catches my eye. I don't follow blogs much anymore, and I usually just stumble into things randomly, so there isn't a central source that I use to keep up. If I find an artist or song I really like, I'll dive a bit deeper by checking out their similar artists tab on Spotify. YouTube also makes some surprisingly good recommendations as well based on my viewing habits.
