How do you listen to music?

Do you listen to whole albums from beginning to end, or
separate songs?

For me it's a bit of both... although with groups like BoC,
Aphex Twin, Autechre, etc, it's usually beginning to end,
because these albums flow nicely... but with some of my
other cds, like greatest hits cds, it's just different songs
I have a desire to listen to... it depends...

One thing I noticed though is what a difference the order
makes... I've been listening to Geogaddi for months starting
from the beginning and playing through, but last week I
played it on random mode and it sounded strange... it didn't
sound as good... maybe it's just that I'm used to the order
it's in now, or maybe it's just that the way it's ordered is
better, I dunno...

I listen to track 1 track 5 and track 8 on all lps first.
then I listen to the lp from start to finish, but skipping
all odd numbered tracks. then I listen to the entire album
all the way thru but whilst I'm doing tantric yoga massage
breathing exercises. the messages come thick and FAST

Individual tracks.....and when I buy new CDs I play a few
seconds of each track when I first get it to get a feel for
the CD, and then listen to it properly.

Totally randomly, my brain is constantly jumping around and
coming up with a new listening plan.

This explains why I HATE CDs... I used to have to change CDs
constantly, a pain in the ass... now I just click on
whatever.

I just don't have the attention span or something... albums
that were made to be ''albums'', listened to straight
through, I always thought that was a crock of shit, even
with AWESOME ''concept'' albums like the Wall and DSOTM. I
just listen to whatever my brain fancies at the moment the
song I'm listening to ends. There's usually some link
between them, depending on my mood. This morning I was in a
60's art rock mood, lots of Beatles and Doors and Velvet
Underground. I went from ''Heroin'' to ''The End'', weird
jump from artist to artist, but they sounded cool back to
back!

itunes is the shit

i usually do full albums, unless i'm in the mood for a
certain song.

some times i fill my 5 cd tray thing with BoC:Geogaddi,
Hi-Score, Music Has The Right to Children, Twoism, and
either In a Beautiful Place... or Peel Sessions
and put it on total random. some times i hear the same
songs, but thats alright wif me

Individual tracks, I like to control the buildup myself. I
prefer using 2 playbackdevices to avoid silences or for
mixing ambient with spoken word.

jarworski: heh my mam knows county hall she hates your
switchboard service man (no offense :))...you should go in
pub on the pond sometime for lunch or something cos they do
amazing meals on huge plates and they serve REAL ALES too
(don't know what 'real' means exactly but they're nice)!

Thru my computer or on vinyl , the cd player on my stereo is
broken , fucking irritating!!.
Daytime i blast it out very loud and night time its all
headphones.
I hardly ever listen to a whole album thru , i listen to the
tracks i like over and and over.
I only listen to a whole album if im doing stuff.

When im downstairs with the rest of the family i often put
on some reaggy/dub/ska or old soul and funk like Sly And The
Family Stone or Curtis Mayfeeld , my parents dig that shit
and everybody is happy.
My mom loves ragga haha!! Whenever Beanie Man or stuff like
that is played she turns up the volume and shakes her big 45
year old butt hahaha!!.

When I buy CDs I listen them from beginnning to end. After
that I usually just listen separate songs.

My style, and I did this last night listening to Chiastic,
is laying in my bed before I go to sleep and listening to a
cd in its entirety. I find this time is the best because no
one can disturb me (as they're all asleep). I put on
headphones and just enjoy. This is usually my serious
listening time where I zone in on each song and try to hear
everything.

Just casually though I'll listen to a track here or there
off a cd thoughtout the day on either my headphones or over
the speaker...and not very loud.

When i first get a CD i listen to the whole thing straight
through.

If it REALLY kicks ass then I'll listen to it straight
through all the time.

Although drukqs earns a perfect 10 outta 10 (IMO) I pick
single songs to listen to. I think its because the tracks
are different yet so similar. Are you confused yet?

i make play lists of mp3s of my favorite songs... for
different moods

or ill just come home, and want to hear one certain song
and ill play it

but as far as a cd alone, start to finish always

when i get new cds, i usually skip to each track to get a
feel for it too, and then listen to it as a whole

but sometimes not
