... On repeat?

What's the longest you've had
a) a track
b) an album
on repeat?

And when was that?

hah sometimes I listen to the same track for hours (like 4
hours or even more). And albums... I think it's about the
same.
I don't know which one I listened to the longest, but I
remember some tracks I've been obsessed with.

first track on repeat was polynomial-c by guess who. i
rented the classics cd and recorded the tracks to a tape.
most of the tracks fitted on one side, so i filled the other
side with nothing but polynomial-c....and thought it was the
best side too.
first album on repeat was trickey's maxinquaye. it was the
first album i just wanted to listen to from start till
finish and back again.

I had Stone In Focus on repeat for a long time. I can listen
to it without getting bored, it is so soothing and slightly
depressing, but lovely at the same time.

down as i was listening to the music...

I had Princo - Mormon on loop for fucking hours once.
Admittedly I wasn't at the omputer at the time. But it was
about 6 hours.

i listened to 100% by sonic youth for four hours on repeat
and to wishful thinking for six hours.
to make me moo by the residents for two hours. and to the
daily operation album by gang starr for a whole day.

The last days I've listened to Out Hud; "The L-train is a
swell train, and I don't want to hear any of you indies
complain" over and over again. 12 minutes of joy. Normally I
don't use the repeat button so often. I get bored easy.

I often listen to 2-2.5 minutes tracks on repeat for a
loooooong time, like a dozen straight listens. I love short
songs where every little note counts and I can never get
enough of a good thing. If a song goes past 3 minutes, it's
overkill if I listen to it more than two or three times
consecutively.

I can listen to atmospheric albums with long meandering
tracks several times in a row, though. Been doing that with
Monolake recently. Some of those tracks seemingly take hours
to finish, and I need to listen to the album a few times to
let certain themes and moments sink in.

I used to listen to rhubarb on repeat a lot when I first
heard sawII

revently, when I lost my job, I listened to "telefon tel
aviv - life is all about pulling things out and putting them
back in" because it was the only song I could listen to in
my heavily depressed state :\

I had this month when the only thing I listened to was PJ
Harvey's "rid of me" - the album, I mean.

I literally did not listen to ANYTHING else.

that must've been about 2 to 3 hours a day, I guess.

Boards of Canada - Melissa Juice

About 3 hours.

It was still enjoyable towards the end, but not as fun as it
was to begin with. Of course, now I've not listened to it
for a while, it's still special when I put it on. I tend to
keep it for when I'm really in the mood nowadays. Although I
sometimes loop the melody in my head when I'm holding my
breath to help take my mind of how long I've been
underwater.
