Title: Listening To Music Post by: Maria on June 04, 2011, 11:23:21 AM Hello Mark,
How much music do you listen to a day? Do you divide your listening between work and your own personal choice and how do you take your music eg, i Pod on the move, whilst doing other things, or do you put aside time for the tasks?

i don't have an i-pod and have never down loaded a track yet. it's not because i am a luddite (well...perhaps a bit) but it's just that i am constantly listening to cd's. i generally go into work and see what's come in that day - then i listen to all the singles first before moving on to albums. i listen until about 12 noon when i go into the studio. then i listen in the car on the way home (which takes about 40 mins) - constantly changing discs and chucking the ones i don't like into the passenger footwell until it fills up - and putting the ones i do like into a little BBC tape box from the 70's which still has a Stuart Hall Show label on it. Last night I went to do a book reading in Leeds and must have listened to about thirty new things but then on the way back i listened to the whole of a new Jean Michel Jarre best of which was great night driving music. i sometimes listen to a favourite album all the way through - i've played sandy denny, television, avi buffalo and tom waits recently. when i get home i've usually had enough music for the day as a listening thing so i play the guitar or the drums a bit, read The Guardian, go to bed and read and then it all starts again the next day. |
