 Topic: What is your relation with your albums?
Posted: August 18 2017 at 13:15 |
Do you listen to your albums alone in your room, waiting for the train, or you just prefer to listen to some playlists?
I don't know, maybe it's a stupid question, but I want to know how you treat music.

Most often in my room with headphones. I also often use the hi-fi
upstairs for records, CDs, if I want to play something to someone or simply want to make some noise. I rather rarely get music out of my
house, though I've had some great, very memorable experiences listening
to music outdoors. Welcome to the forum!

Very large vinyl collection, played with extreme loving care on a moderately high end set up in the lounge, by the woodburner, with a beer (or 2). Small CD collection usually reserved for the car or occasionally in the house elsewhere.

I listen to my music, 97% vinyl, mainly in my room. By myself.
I have a pile of cassettes for the car.

Alone or with my brother in a dark room with speakers. Beer and pipe tobacco are included. Sometimes it's full albums or random tracks.

I usually seek out new music in my room on the computer with headphones. Music I already own is usually put directly onto my iPod and played through the stereo for the whole house to hear. I have a few dozens CDs in the car that get regular rotation. Most of them are two full albums put on a single disc (sometimes with a track or two removed to fit the 80 minute limit). In some cases I'll make my own compilations of material from a single artist to cherry pick songs that work particularly well for driving. In the car I also have a 10-part (for now) series of CDs with songs pulled together from multiple artists that all fit a particular setting. For example, there's a playlist of just jazz fusion tracks that I'll put on driving around the city at night, and a couple of hard rock/southern rock compilations for a sunny drive in the country.
At home, I listen to full albums more than 90% of the time, but sometimes I'll put together playlists; usually when I have family or friends over and only want to put on "accessible" songs.

This sh*t goes nowhere near my records..........  Only ciggies, outside, on the patio, whilst music is blaring from my room.

What is your relation with your albums?I try not to have relations with my albums. They tend to be unplayable afterwards.

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

not stupid.... perhaps a bit odd.. but this forum is the leading Internet menagerie of freaks and oddities. It is like a magnet man...
one can break into the two sides of life... the physical and the spiritual.
physical?... they are easily replaced for the most part. I'll use them as drink coaaster.. friesbies ..leave them in the heat and sun... when they stop playing.. buy a replacement. No sentimental attachment to any physical manifestation of the music they contain. Most the albums I truly love.. are fuly and truly committed to the cranail mobile player in my head and can dial up any truly beloved album ..even when my ass is hanging 100's of feet over nothing messing with voltage that will fry you to a crisp. Or digging a trench in the middle of a icey rain in below freezing weather. It is a key to my sanity ... the instant recall of music when one can not actually play it
spiritual? take my sight, my arms, my legs even take the third one haha... just don't take my ears. Music has been and will always be the soundtrack to my life. From the very bad times to the most wonderful there was music there to accumpany me then... and transport me back years later. Much as the sense of smell can trigger memories... music is just as effective. So how do I treat music.... much as I treat my body. I abuse the hell out of it.. but in the end... it has never failed me and got me through the best and worst that life could throw at you.

I listen anywhere and everywhere. Unfortunately my wife isn't a prog fan so I listen alone. I have over 1600 CDs and am currently going through a chronological pass through the collection. The year is 1978...

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Mostly car listening or headphones while hiking or doing yardwork. A new CD gets ripped to mp3 and only removed from the shelf for research purposes. So any CD that I bought in the last 10 years or so has basically been put into a tray once. The older ones of course I've been played the hell out of and arer all scratched up and gnarly

The only oddity with my listening is that I always walk while listening to an album. No matter how confined the space (my dorm room is six or seven paces back and forth), I'll find a way to keep moving. Music then doubles as exercise for me. 2-3 hour albums can be a pain though...
