The music I like most...

Is often the music I can talk the least about. The reason
is that I buy the CD's or vinyl and listen straight off
that, so track names have no meaning at all. So when people
start talking about (insert track name here) I am often left
thinking "what track number of what release" because that is
how I know them.

Are the rest of you (who actually buy the music :P) the
same? Or do you all learn the track names off by heart.

...eventually i just learn the name, from thinking "what's
this track called?" and checking the back cover about
5million times.

I listen to music all day and I'm the worst at names, I
associate feelings to the music maker, that's it really

Finding the names out never bothers me, except for when
people start talking about it. I can hear a peice of music
and know straight away what album or EP it is off, but I
wouldn't know the name in a million years.

I only started thinking about it because I was listening to
Blue Jam and heard Rakimou...I knew it was Plaid, I knew it
was off Not For Threes and near the middle, but I couldn't
remember the name. :D

actually, when i get a new album of jazz or any other
instrumental music I completely forget what the titles
are...

when I seriously started listening to music, when I was 15
or so, I would buy 1 album every 6 months, listen to it
non-stop and learn the complete thing including liner-notes
inside out.

after that, I would still know exactly all the tracktitles.

these days, I'm lucky if I remember the artists name, maybe
the album name. and yes, I do remember the track numbers
too. :)

Actually, I never thought about that. I suppose it is
easier to remember track names when there are vocals in the
tracks.

it's purer that way isn't it? music should have no verbal
equivalent...as a culture we have this tendency (need) to
verbalize everything.

when you look at a piece of art in a museum, be it a
sculpture, installation, or whatever, do you look at the
title first? most people do. i try not to look at all. if
i have to look, i look after. it's more fun that way.

stan brakhage once wrote, "imagine the multitude of colors
in a field of grass to a child who doesn't know the word
'green'."

now when I have a few new albums, I rip them to mp3s and
listen to them on my discman.

so the whole idea of tracktitles and even tracknumbers just
disappears.

IT'S THE NEW REALITY, MAN!!

I used to do a paper round and bought 1 album, or two vinyl,
every two weeks and I was the same...I learnt the liner
noted inside out. I loved rap albums because they used to
have about 3 sides of tiny writing of shout outs :D

I use SoundForge 7.0 and Nuendo 2, although the last one has
been a bit crabby lately (suddenly imploding, stuff like
that - but thats what you get for not paying..).

Yeah, i'm just like that. Not just with none-vocal trracks
wherre the name can't rreally be linked thrrough the lyrrics
eitherr, but otherr music too. I can sing everry Leonard
Cohen song off his firrst 3 albums yet couldn't put a name
to any of them.

yeah.. I don't know ANY fucking track-names except for,
like, the songs that other people enjoy, 'cause they're
talking to me about them, and then I go "eh.. is that the
one with the [sound] in it?" and then, after two months of
continuous talking about it, I finally remember it.. it's
the same with peoples names and years... takes me two months
to remember anything like that!

theories about etichal problems, on the other hand, I
remember instantly...

I'm the same, never know the track names. I usually listen
in my car when driving or snuggly tucked up in bed (usually
stoned), neither of which is conducive to learning track
names!

i always keep allmusic.com in a separate window when i'm
on xlt, for ease of reference. lo; problem solved.

My favorite music is gay art pop, and I know all the names
of all the tracks, and all the trivial facts about all my
favorite songs, and all the chords, and the date the track
was recorded on, and what model guitar was used, and what
make of drums, and all outside contributers. With Eye Dee
Em, a bit of the times I AM a bit in the dark concerning
track names, but I would rather learn them. I don't have a
problem with bizarre, self conscious spellings, either.
