Every sunday i visit my parents who live 5 train stations away to say hello , maybe do some laundry and experience my moms awesome coocking skills . On the train i have my cd player and for some reason the music always becommes so much better on that ride. Maybe it is because the train ride in itself is so fucking boring without music or maybe it is because my mind isnt ocupied with something else like when im listening at home and (always) doing a bunch of other stuff at the same time. The train always ads a bit of extra ambience in the bakround with its noises or perhaps a kid is crying a couple of benches away. There is also this long walk to my home when i am back later in the evening when it is just me walking under the street lights and the cars passing by. Sometimes i have taken longer ways home cause the musical experience is soo great. Tracks that i normaly find bad becommes great even. When i was a kid i could sit at home with headphones and just listening to an album while staring at the album art (aaah Iron Maiden covers =) )and be totaly consumed by it , doing nothing else. Nowdays that never happens , why is that ?. Sorry, i know this kind of topic has been done to death before but i couldn't be arsed to try and search for any , im to sleepy. What are your thoughts on this ? Favorite listening places ? Similar experiences ? I wish i had a car , i would just drive around all night listening to great music . Like Morrissey does =) |

trains sound like a good place to listen, definitely. i prefer to listen to music in the car..especially if someone else is driving and doesn't mind my music. |

Trains in sweden are mostly very clean + i almost allways wear some subtle cologne like Armani or Boss (or wankshot) to disscuise any suspicious smell i may have picked up during the day. |

My best listening experiences are usually with walkmens when on buses, trains, and walking boring places. I have also often extend my walk to listen more. Sometimes it pisses me off if I bump into people I know when I am walking around in a music-induced stupor because i have to stop listening and talk. BOOOoooo friends suck. |

i listen to music on the trains... but the train is always so loud, i have to crank up the volume to hear it over the white noise and clacking. maybe you have quieter trains in sweden... |

Maybe you simply had less things to distract you/worry about as a child. Being a boring ride without the music also adds to it for me. My main favorite place is right before I sleep in bed. I don't like exta ambient noises usually, especially with really subtle music like crunch1. You're totally undistracted too. |

Haha! yeah that can be really annoying. Or the batteries run out , what a fucking anticlimax that can be . Especialy if you have taken the long walk and have to walk the rest without music. |

the worst thing is when ure goin back from work or school, with a colleague, and they expect u to talk to them, and u want to put on headphones and drift away, but ure ashamed because ure afraid theyre goin to think that u r rude, and a freak |

Man! you are still obsessed with Crunch 1 !?! =) |

Yeah falling asleep to music is great. When you are really tired you can fall asleep to anything , even really harsh music like grindcore or really experimental stuff. Thats the time when you get these great mental images. |

as long as you don't make eye contact/physical contact, you can ignore people and get away with it if you're listening to music, even if you can hear them call you, you can avoid social friction on the next meeting by claiming to be absorbed in audio landscapes. its a get out clause of talking to people you don't wanna talk to with no guilt or comeback. booyah |

The trains makes some noises here to , especially these new wagons that have these loud automatic speaker voices that anounce destination and stuff. But that doesn't really bother me. I guess thats why i liked the Lost In Translation soundtrack cause it had lsome of these subway Ikebana noices here and there . It reminded me of my magical trainrides. If i wouldn't here any noises from the world outside my headphones i would get a bit paranoid. It is like when i wear a jacket with a big hood in the winter and the hood is up i get paranoid cause the hearing is redused and i cant see as good sideways. Someone can easily sneak up on me from behind haha! I know that wont happen but it is just a feeling i get in my body. I wonder how horses feel when they have these type of blindfolders on , it calms them right ?. |

"Sometimes i have taken longer ways home cause the musical experience is soo great." - the very same experience sometimes the music in my headphones would go together and totally synchronize with traffic lights, or people walking around - like i was in a musical or a music video. i spent a lot of time with headphones, currently it's car audio mp3, which is great too. when you're addicted to music you always find a way to have it near you. |

I use to have an hour commute to work and I was able to listen to so much music. It was wonderful. Now, I can see my office out my bedroom window, so all of my music listening time is gone. I don't know what to do. |

My minidisc player was my best friend in Japan. I have such fond memorys of simply exhisting as an outsider in Tokyo. The endless urban forest was mine to discover. I was encased in my own headphones at all times. Every zip on the JR line was a cinematic experience. Damn it I want to redo that year again. |

i find that the two best places for me are the car, which is related to what sido says about trips to and from him parents house, where he goes the long way just to stay in the musics spell, i will, if i have the time, take the longes way possible or just jump in the car and put on a cd. when i buy a new cd, i judge whether i like or not by listening to it for a while in the car. while laying in bed going to sleep, which, as WMW says, it the best for undistracted listening. when i really want to hear something classic or something i have always loved, i will usually play it in my discman when i am laying down for some sleep time - the best is when you wake up and the stuff is still playing! its like you know your subconscious was feeling the groove. honorable mention: i used to date this girl who would turn on looney tunes, although it can be any cartoon, she then would mute the sound on the tv, and then blast the stereo - at the time she listed to rave music, basically just dance music with a lot of techno and wierd stuff - all usa artists, but the music would go along with the imagery so well, i got hooked you be surprised at how well bugs bunny and autechre blend together! |

Sounds sublime, man. I can feel the feeling in your feelings. I used to listen to music on the bus to and from my college. It's cliche but it's unexplainably surreal. A lot of the students had discmans/discmen and I'd often think about what they were listening to. It was usually trash when I saw the CD cases on the seat or poking out of their bags. Mine was better and I always felt good about it. My favorite place is right here in front of my computer, when I'm all alone. I can blast it all day long, days like that are flawless, rewarding, and what I live for. I have two weeks with the house totally under my control starting on the 28th, and it's going to be a musical implosion. And like Dann, I always take the scenic route when I'm trotting around town with my discman. If I get to my destination with time to burn and in the middle of a good song, I'm go around the block again, any maybe again. I think I creep some people out when they see me walk by, and then walk by a few minutes later in the same direction. |

Here the trains are really loud so that makes train listenin a bit less enjoyable (I still do 2+ hours of it every day) but an even worse distraction is schoolgirls making too much noise on the bus.. Even if I crank the volume all the way up the music is easily lost in the chaotic chatter of overexcited teenagers.. It can be quite annoying if you're listening to stuff like Stockhausen or whatever |

"Mine was better and I always felt good about it." Haha! yeah i know that feeling. Its silly really but i always feel kind of good about myself sitting there among all these ordinary boring mainstream people with my awesome music. But sometimes maybe someone cool looking person steps on that i imediately like and i sort of get the silly urge to hand over my headphones to them and say "Hey listen to this , i think you would really like it" "We are the same you and me , i am not like all the rest of these idiots sitting here even tho i happen to wear this crappy clothes today cause i had nothing else to wear and i am on my way to my mother to do the laundry" Hehe! silly... Not that i want to make new friends or anything but its a basic music thing.You want people to experience the same high as you do. THats why there is so many impulsive "omg this track omg that track!! here on this board for example . I am jellous of you people with cars . I think that would be the ultimate listening experience for me. Driving at night alone. Stop somwhere and buy a coffe to go (maybe chatt with some lonely store clerk for a bit ) and then just keep driving and listening. Favorite songs on repeat and stuff. I reckon classic The Smiths sob stories like "I know its over" would be the ultimate car music or some deep moody dub (or whatever is good). For some reason always when i hear the smiths i wish i was in a car with no destination. And long monotonous ambient pieces that i find boring to death otherwise really works on the train. Sire : I find loud teenage girls to be the most annoying thing in the world when i DON'T have any music. No filter. But with it i just think "talk all you want cause im in another dimension" Teenage girls talk about the most boring mundane things to death like its something big . The teenage insecurity makes them act so annoying. Parents who can't handle their hyperactive annoying kids is hell too. So i guess your favorite listening place i |
