I love music so much. New, old, it doesn't matter, just always gotta have something playing. I've tried podcasts and audiobooks, but absolutely hate listening to people droning on about "X" topic.

I listen to music nonstop when i can actually do production work and I'm not inundated with calls or other bullshit. Outside of work I'm just looking for new music. I really struggle to find music that clicks with me - it has to do something new and sound fresh but also tell a proper story and have something interesting to say. Trying to find that at times can be tough and a bit relentless.

I listen to music a lot less than I used to. Like, in the car but my commute is like ten minutes. Other than that, a couple times a month when I get drunk and trip hard on music like the new Beach House.

It is much harder to find and listen to new music. i mainly use bandcamp to find new music and it's pretty great for that if you go to the "discover" section you can check out new releases by genre and there is no shortage of good music coming out all the time these days

I find that constant non-stop TV and music is detrimental to me. For years I always had something on in the background, normally a TV show I wasn't even watching but enjoyed the "comfort" of. When I was driving I had music going. At a certain point as I decided to confront my crippling anxiety, I realized I needed to be present in the anxiety and show compassion to it in order to overcome it. I was avoiding confronting my thoughts and feelings for years by drowning it out. I think a lot of people do this, and those who say they always have something going to listen to I wonder if they are avoiding themselves. I am much happier now to listen to the pavement roll under my feet as I drive or the hum of my PC fans as I poo poo post on SA.

Basically for me it's like my brain has an audio channel that has to be occupied for processing at all times, and if I don't have some kind of audio from an external source that can be that part of my attention without being the focus, then my mind's gonna fill that in. I don't have music on while i'm writing this post so I hear music, but it's sort of draining because it takes some part of my energy to do. The best is when I get jams that just fill the whole audio space up in my headphones and I can barely think outside the song

it actually really bothers me sometimes when music is treated as "just background". when really good music is playing, i just want to focus on the music and don't want to hear anything else. its one thing if im doing some basic physical task like driving a car, but i hate it when people put on music and then have loud conversations as if there's nothing else going on. im not a particularly social person and often when im in bars or parties or at someone's house for dinner or whatever i find myself more interested in the music than the conversation. this used to make me feel socially "weird" for obvious reasons but as ive gotten older and made music the center of my life instead of just a hobby and now most of my friends are other musicians who also tend to be like thisYou Are A Elf posted:
try the audiofiction side of podcasts. less "droning on about topics" , more stories - but with more music and sound design than you'd expect in typical audiobooks i think the nonfiction style are much better when they are structured rather than rambling.

Like I said before I can drive for hours in silence and love it, but I also hate music as just general background noise. My favorite time to listen to music is with some nice headphones in the dark and I just get into it. Maybe I just like to hyper focus on whatever I’m doing. So driving = just driving, and listening to music = just music. But really just focusing on music with no distractions is delicious

(to buy a tshirt) go hang out in a bar I stopped going to bars because where I live they have loud live music every Friday and Saturday night which is the only time I would want to go to a bar. Went to a winery one weekend with family thinking it would be a different story. Nope. loving live music started up 30 minutes into our tasting and we couldn’t hear each other. Why does every place that serves alcohol insist on loud live music all the time? What happened to socializing?

hell astro course posted:silence is a type of music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4 From late high school through college I would listen to music almost every waking hour. In college I wouldn't even go between classes without my Sony Walkman cassette player and headphones blaring some tunes. But then sometime after college, I realized life didn't need a soundtrack. I ripped all my CDs (about 200 or so) into MP3s and still have them on multiple hard drives. I sold the CDs on eBay (even made a good profit on some). I still listen to music, but FM radio is horrid - utter poo poo. I just feel old with most of today's music and cannot relate. Just loving noise at this point. However, I still listen to my older music on the computer on occasion and if anything Youtube has acted very much like what MTV did in the 80's with introducing me to new or even older "new to me" music. I've recently started listening to the Sparks who have been around for 50 years. There's 26 albums there alone to catch up and much is online. Do I need any of it ?- Probably not.

Adam Neely has said that it isn't possible for him to listen to music in the background. He has to analyze it.

A sighting in the wild of the rare and elusive Sparks fan.

I don't really need it if I'm not doing something repetitive like working out or whatever. I occasionally turn it on while working but rarely when reading unless I'm also on an exercise bike or something. I have had office jobs with coworkers I didn't like where I had music on start to end. I've also had office jobs where I had cool ppl to talk to and rarely if ever put on music.  100% of the time while driving of course AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Jan 22, 2022 |

It took thirty years for me to be able to listen to Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey just once. They super-saturated the airwaves with that one when it came out.

When I lived in New Hope PA we had a beautiful live music set up on I think wednesdays or thursdays at this bar called John & Peter's where it was Mickey Melchiado from Ween and a guitarist from P-funk, some other locals and then like travelling musicians that would stop by cuz not far from Philly and they'd just play whatever. They called it the invitational. I think they might be doing it again but plague scares me. I don't like Your Uncle's Cover Band in random bars tho for the most part. Seaside boardwalk is plagued by lovely cover bands.
