How do you enjoy your music?

[sunshine and gasoline]

Anyway, I was wondering the diffrent ways people enjoy music.

I myself usually am lying down on my sofa or floor when I listen to music, sometimes I pace back and forth through my room if I'm in a hurry and want to listen to one more song.

So your turn now. Are you one of those freaky metal people that headbangs alot or do listen to music while you do something else (homework/work), maybe you dance? :blink

[flamealchemist]

I pretty much listen to music as much as I can.. On the bikeride to school ( thank you iPod! ) at home when I'm behind the comp, or, when I'm feeling lazy/not so good, I just lay on my bed and let the songs shuffle.

[Mineko-Iwasa]

i usually listen to music all the time lying somewhere, ground, sofa, bed, stairs (somewhere in the streets...)
but i like too when it is dark, there i have the feeling that the music fills the entire room, and that it "speaks" to me.
do a lot of headbanging too.... sometimes....

[BlueCheese]

When i'm on my computer, when i'm reading or when i'm playing pool usually

[wolfwood1218]

My ideal music listening...lying down on the couch, full blast, surround sound system, with the fan on. Pimp.

Finally!! I'm not a freak! I also prefer the dark, my parents tough think I'm a psycho. :blink

Man you're exacly like me, I usually hear when somone is coming down the stairs and I quickly turn on the light (I live in the basment floor of the house).

Anyway I listen to all kinds of music, I try to stay as openminded as possible. But I do have three favorite bands that could tell what kind of music I enjoy.
They are, A Silver Mt. Zion, Radiohead and Nirvana. But I listen to many more bands/artists, thesa are just the ones that are most important to me at the moment.

So are you gonna answer your own question? What do you listen to?

go and read your PM. :amuse still waiting for an answer

Wait no longer. :smile-big

[Catatonik]

I listen to music pretty much non-stop, except at work when I'm cooking on line.

Anyhoo, at the computer, walking around, sleeping, reading, it doesn't matter, I like to have music surrounding me at all times.

I am a big fan though, of a dark room, an 'altered mind', headphones and the window open to let a breeze in..

[mow]

My headphones never leave my ears. So any surronding is okay for me. though , while listening to post rock,folk rock or chillout/lounge, I usually enjoy lazying on the couch and reading a book.

How the hell are you able to read a book and listen to music. I've tried, but it always ends with me missing three chapters of a book, or something.

It's the only thing I can multi-task on XD.

[Catatonik]

I love books+music, it just adds to the flavour of the book.

Infact certain series/books are permanently associated with certain albums for me because of that.

[Lien]

It depends what type of music it is. If it's all everything apart from Soca/dancehall, I sit on my chair, sofa or lie on ym bed. When dancehall/soca come on, the best way to enjoy it is to get up and dance! :D *wynding* ;)

Same here :amuse. I'm no longer able to read The Divine Comedy without listening to GSYBE F#a#oo, and vica-versa

[Mineko-Iwasa]

for me it is not only books, but also places.
i use to travell a lot, so when i listen to one particular song i remember places where i was and so one, no need of a camera for sightseeing, all i need is music

[sunshine and gasoline]

I myself can't focus on the book if there is music in the background. Mostly because I start focusing on the music and how it sounds.

BTW moe.
Are the ASMZ working alright, have you listened thru them?

[mow]

Yeah, I love how music captures those fading fluttering moments and bring them back to life :amuse.

S&G; Ill give them a spin this weekend (my time to sit down and listen to albums thoroughly)

Don't get me wrong I like listening to music when I'm going to school and taking walks, I especially like to listen to Radiohead while taking a walk in an urban enviorment, it's just magic. But I can't read shit if there is any kind of music nearby.


moe: Yes weekends. Best time to listen to music. Tho I have a problem. I can't go to sleep until I've listened to some Sliver Mt. Zion, or Godspeed.

actually that's when i learn the better with music in the backround....
some fancy music for economics and everything is smooth....

[Lien]

Classical Music is best for your mind! and it increases concentration! =] x

You will most certianly enjoy Post rock. Im 100% sure of it =]. Would you be interested in listening to some?

[Lien]

Give a few recomendations and I'll find them :) It's late, I'm off now :) xx

[Yukisame]

when I try to relax, go to sleep or I draw...: )

[destroy_musick]

holy necro-bump batman!

[eD]

Everytime I can... in the bathroom, before sleep and even now...

[Leraine]

holy necro-bump batman!

Well, shush, that's my line! Still a sweet thread, soo..

Contrary to Davey's wishful thinking I don't enjoy my music naked in front of my webcam, but also not in some detached state of my mind.
It usually just plays in the background, while I'm working on something. And just like moe the only situation in which I'm able to multitask is book + music.

[sel]

I also read to music occasionally, though when I do so it's often classical, jazz or post-rock. Mingus is a requirement when I cook by the way, and Lekman when I bake.

Mostly though, just when I'm in the train, at the PC and sometimes in bed when I'm getting to sleep. I get pretty introspective in the time inbetween getting into bed and falling asleep

[Sasuke_Bateman]

In the shower, but sadly sometimes I stay in the shower for 30/60 mins which is horrible.

[chaosakita]

I only listen to music on my computer (so my $200 dollar iPod is completely wasted) any time that I don't have to listen to anything else (videos or computer games).

[boognishrising]

I am pretty ADD, so I mostly listen to music in the car, or listen to ween radio on last.fm when on my computer. I cant have noise when I am trying to read or study.

[Baub]

I enjoy music while exercising and in the shower.

[Dream Brother]

A) Just after I wake up, while brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I blast it on my computer in the next room, so the sound reaches me. This is often accompanied by embarrassing dancing and my use of the toothbrush as a microphone.

B) While walking down a road. Especially enjoyable during summer or early autumn (early in the morning and also just before sunset).

[Daedus]

I listen to music almost every waking moment of my life. I really couldn't imagine life without it.

My ideal environment for music listening depends entirely upon the genre.
You can actually tell what genre of music I'm listening to when I go for one of my "head clearing" walks. If it's something uptempo or intense, you'll see my walking speed double. The slower stuff makes me walk like a sleepwalker, and I will wander off the path.

[Purgatory]

Fucking headbang (Listening to Sodom right now)

Sometimes work too, and trying to come up with riffs/songs (I AM NOT RIPPING OFF :pek)

[Byakkö]

I like to play music while I'm reading, or when I'm in the car mostly.

[midnight_walker]

I tend to listen to whole albums and just lie in my bed or sofa and relax...

Being a metal-fan, concerts are the best way to enjoy music. It's not often, but when I do go to a concert to see (and hear) my favorite bands, it's always very satisfying and something that I will remember.

[Mori]

When I'm sketching, coloring or painting, it's the most relaxing and enjoyable time for me to listen to music.

[Dattebayo-chan]

I usually listen to music on the buss to school when I don't have anything to read. It's also nice to have music on when doing homework . . . :amuse

[fightoffyourdemons]

I like to walk around town and listen to my iPod. If it's shitty out I pace around my room.

[KiKeV]

i usually listen to my music sitting here at the computer, but it is most enjoyable when i'm high out of my mind laying on my bed with my stereo on

[escamoh]

to the annoyance of everyone i know, i'm usually listening to music 24/7
most preferred way is in bed with ipod or stereo on

[Prince of Pop]

I enjoy mostly while I watch my DVDs, read and mostly I would practice dance moves with them. When you listen to music and dance, you can feel them into your body and that's why you dance to them. That's the best flavour of music.

[nyo_nyo43]

Usually when Im alone in my room.

[raininggemini]

I enjoy every minute of my time because I always have earphones on, when at home, I play music in my computer or in our home stereo system. At school, I hide my earphones during class. ;D

[Anavrin224]

Well I usually like to start by cracking all the windows in my apartment for exactly 5 minutes, lets the stale air out and the fresh air in. Then I shut them and light some scented candles, pour myself a glass of Merlot, have a wank, and then sit back and let the music suck me in.

[•Rinoa•]

Usually in my room or listen to my ipod anywhere, but i also love concerts.:love

[destroy_musick]

with a new subwoofer, i tend to crank the bass up and ignore the neighbour banging my wall :3

[Lamb]

the only time I don't enjoy music, is when it's not playing :nuts

[ezxx]

play it really loud wherever i'm at

optimal enjoyment is either on my pc or on bed

[Lucaniel]

freaky metal people

<_<

I listen to music all the time, but usually while doing something else. Which is why it takes me a lot of listens to get how good/bad something is.

[eyeSharingan]

I like to play my music on my instruments

[Sebastian]

I enjoy my music loud. I like to play along with it, or sing with it.

[Carolyn♥]

i listen to my music while i'm on the computer, while i'm doing homework, before i go to bed, and on my way to school.

so pretty much, i listen to music for most of the day and i've gotten used to it :P

[Horrid Crow]

I enjoy my kind of music the best in a crowded club were everyone is going crazy, and were the dj and the mc are putting up a nice show.

[Instant Karma]

Either while im on the pc or in my car driving with no one bothering me.

[Juanita Tequila]

When I'm on the computer, when I'm at school or when I go out by myself to run errands and such. :D

[Schneider]

I enjoy music the most when I'm holding a guitar and play along the song I listen to while pretending that I perform with the artist on stage, with the right notes and tempo of course. If there's only restricted movement available, I'll just tap my hands on whatever's available following the drums.

Next would be lying down still with my mind blank. Music also helps me in my studies. Effective way of killing boredom.

Well I guess I'm the weirdest here.:hurr

[Alex.]

I listen to music while doing my homework. Since most of my homework is about creativity ( I get lots of compositions as homework) music really inspires me. Also I go to sleep with my headphones in my ears...

[CalRahhh]

Almost always when on my computer or when listening to it on my ipod.

[Byakuya]

I can enjoy music anywhere, and I do.

[Bluebella]

At school for some reason in study.

[tGre teh Disleksik]

with a bit of cheese and weed.

[Disko]

I listen to music most of the day especially when I'm doing homework.

[Shika's Gurl]

I listen to music whenever I'm in my room, in the car, when I'm reading or drawing. Pretty much all the time. I prefer to listen to music just laying in my bed, though. That way I can pay attention to only that and really think about it. I frequently cry. lol.

[Honzou?]

I listen to my music as much as I can. Waiting for classes to start, in my car, at home, before I go to sleep.

[Mojim]

As for me, I enjoy listening to music when:

1) If my class is like totally effin' boring...I'll switch on my iPod...secretly of course and usually I seat at the back, waaay back.
2) Before I go to bed/sleep...this is the situation where I like the most :iria
3) Whenever I go to some destination alone (on train, bus etc.)

So basically that's it. Oh and I can't listen to music when I'm with books, even though I really wanted to try that...heh :sag

[halfhearted]

I listen to and enjoy music at any time and in any conceivable situation. Whenever I leave the house, it's rare for me to do so without my iTouch and a set of headphones. And, if there isn't a film on my television, then I usually have some sort of musical accompaniment to my daily life playing whenever I'm at home. However, places that I have had particularly nice listening experiences include:

1) Whilst exercising, particularly jogging or walking at local parks during the summer. It always feels great to get my body fully occupied and mobile in a way that frees my mind and makes me more open to what's going on around me. The music can do everything from color this experience to motivate it completely.
2) At museums and exhibits. Whether it's walking through an aquarium or looking at the works displayed by the traveling Louvre, listening to music at these times both enhances the power of what's being heard and what's being seen for me.
3) During long drives. With the acoustics of my car, the sound is a lot nicer than at my apartment or just using headphones. And, the isolated atmosphere really helps me to deeply immerse myself.

*tries to visualize that* Sounds really nice...lol
Somehow your sentence motivates me to do like that, really :iria Since I lack exercising and stuff...so yeah I need one, because I'm underweight and lacks meat :O Need to be fit.

[Moridin]

Today I enjoy my music with a window open and the sun shining in, early summer beats and a book on hand.

[Hope]

Usually on the way home from school on full blast (my lovely iPod), then when I'm on the computer or doing homework. Then if I'm being lazy I'll put some music on in the background while I'm chilling out on my bed or reading or something.

[Jibblejab]

I will put the built in speakers on my iTouch on full blast then put it in my pocket when I am wandering around the house.

[Dr. Boskov Krevorkian]

Honestly, any place or time that I can; homework, walking, working, cleaning, reading, internetting and even nothing at all. It's generally with headphones ('cause mine are awesome <3), but if I can get away with it, on my room speakers, which are quite nice. Sometimes I use it as ambience or something to help me work or whatever, but just as much I just listen to the music laying on my bed or something; that's the best way to experience it.

[Panic]

In the background as I browse the internet or extremely loud coming from the speakers in my truck as I drive down the street.

[Jim]

it doesn't matter where i am as long as the music rocks! rock n roll for life!

[ILoveJpn]

Like my women, 10 years old

[Ic3B0X]

anywhere, everywhere

but usually

behind the CPU
on my bed
Walking to places
Reading on the floor
Sleeping
waking Up
In the Bathroom
Playing Video Games
Doing Hmwk
Talking to friends (its set to quiet)
Cooking
Eating
uhm what else yeah thats all I can think of

[Juli]

I usually lay on my bed or sofa or I'm listening to it while working at the computer.
And of course on my way to university. It makes driving in a full, muggy bus way more bearable..

[Poison Ivy]

I like to browse NF while listening to music, but that's usually just to break the silence rather than to enjoy it...

When i actually want to enjoy it I'll either lay in bed and listen, or go outside and lay in my garden looking at the stars. I don't want any other distractions when I'm really wanting to enjoy something.

[Kirsty]

I just put it up for background usually...

But when Im in the bus to school I really listen :hehee

[+Kohana_Ame+]

I usually listen to music in a comfy place like my bed or the corner of my room. Also I listen to music when walking to school in the morning.

[Cell]

i listen to music literally all day long. either on my laptop, my record player, stereo or ipod. not so much for background music, but more because i hate silence and i can't get enough music.

it's my fucking life.

[Ruri]

I enjoy my music on my ipod while taking brisk walks lasting at least one hour.
