I recommend keeping current with music.  It's a great way to stay mentally young.  With streaming it's easy to access music, but with so much out there it's daunting to drink from the fire hose.  I use three simple filters:

1. Listen to anything anybody recommends with EUTM if you've never heard of it
2. Check Metacritic on Friday (new release day) and listen to any album that rates 80+, anything 70+ if it's an artist you at least like a song or two
3. Listen to the top charting songs in your favorite genre.  In my case it's Alternative which covers a lot of ground and is really whatever is cutting edge or innovative across many genres.

It does help to have a two hour round trip daily commute to work.
