How do you listen to music?

It is also hard for me to COMPLETELY listen to an album without distractions but some of the things that keep me occupied are eating or messing around with a rubics cube/something like that. Also, the times when I'm most intently listening is when I'm jotting down my ideas about the album on paper. This also provides me with a solid judgement about the album because I can look back in my notes and read how I was feeling and remember little things here and there. At night it's easy to just turn off the lights and dive deep into a record especially an ambient one. One hasn't listened to SAW II until they've listened to it with all the lights off at 1:00 in the morning

And of course, listening to something while under the influence of cannabis is always a treat.

Even though listening to it through cheap laptop speakers while wasted at 5 in the morning this new years eve kind of ruined it to me forever.

Both becoming more aware of the importance of sound quality and caring a bit more about hearing loss risks led me to sell my mp3 reader, now listening to music only in my room on my very good headphones or monitor speakers having minimized the environmental noise first. I recently converted my collection of CDs to PCM wave files so I'm always listening to music at the computer. I also listen to music everytime I drive.

If i'm listening to music with a hard beat and I'm strolling around in the nighttime then I'll skank down the street. Great way to spend an evening by yourself.

With my headphones on, in a chair, at home, and with some pale ale.

Oh snap you do this too? Awesome.

Naked, covered in lard and rolling around with badgers. Yeah.

Quaristice, Miles' Second Great Quintet, pot brownies.

You will shit epiphanies and talk to your ancestors.

I talked to Jesus once

And I looked into the eyes of the Devil

I love listening to music while cooking.

They have an anechoic chamber like that at the Engineering department of my university. I have to know how Fenix Funk 5 sounds in that perfectly silent environment, maybe one night I will slip inside to find out.

But I have a smaller version of that (1.5m x 2m insulated room) in my own house since I live with a trumpet player. Sometimes I actually go there to listen/make music.

If I lived near a railroad of highway I would probably kill myself.

Yes, and a though I don't drink much wine, these 3 things are a great combination.

When I get hypomanic symptoms music is absolutely amazing. It makes me cry and it's like being high as fuck, or at least I assume since I've never actually been high. I'll listen to it in the dark on headphones super loud, often That We Can Play EP.
