On my Pod I have an assortment of prog playlists, including prog with an edge (King Crimson, Anglagard, Van Der graaf etc.) which i listen to while working out, as well as a list of sleepy time prog (Olias of Sunhillow, White Willow, Selling England etc.) which, obviously i listen to late at night. Progressive rock as art rock is able to "paint" so many moods as to run the gammit? of human emotion. Different prog for different moods. Different moods at different times. ------------- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding? |

At home, in my bedroom. Sometimes I used a Walkman, but my ears were with "noises" (zzz!) after using the headphones. I also felt like I was losing some hearing capacity, so I never used it again. I always used the Walkman at low volume, but my ears became sensitive. Since I don`t use the Walkman, my ears are better. ------------- Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991.

There are times when I just love to chill out in the lounge room (big speakers) and relax with my fav stuff. (Porcupine Tree are such an awesome band to chill out and relax to) Other times there is nothing better than sharing some tunes with someone with a similar interest. I've also got another room with a stack of MP3s on computer which I've rigged up a surround sound setup and thats good for when I've got some samples I want to check out or when the house is full and I just want to go to the 'den'. I occasionally get the opportunity to play some tunes to my classes at school so there are some high school kids here that have heard Yes, PT and DT etc, that would never have otherwise heard of them. Some of them really dig the music to. ------------- Eternity |

In my room while falling asleep/ doing my work/ writing poetry or a story or ideas for a story. If I'm at my boyfriend's house....pretty much all the time. Not that I've been there for a while- grrrrr, Too BUSY! Occassionally at one of my friend's houses, I dunno...would you define Led Zeppelin as prog? It's a debatable topic.

Mostly these days on i-pod - what a life-changing device. Thousands of songs, endless playlists, a big prog mayhem one of a few hundred tunes. It's radio with the world's best DJ - me! The pod goes in the car and soundtracks me wherever I go too. If I'm at home working, then it's i-tunes on the pc. on the road it's the pod and i-tunes on my powerbook with a set of noise cancelling headphones. At home relaxing it's finally on the good system, a lot of vinyl and CDs and if I'm feeling particularly lazy the i-pod gets plugged into that too.

The many habits of Trouserpress. Get thee to a nunery. Maybe you can get a job taking one of those summer school camps in the USA. or...what about busking??...or write a script and send it to Tim Brooke Taylor or Bill Oddie. I remember, quite a few years ago, having a weekend job selling danish pastries at the market in Portebello Road in London. The US tourists loved the pecan pies we used to sell them. Of course, if one of those many habits of yours is the same as Oliverstoned then your probably best moving into horticulture fulltime. ------------- Eternity |

Although I don't work for Apple either, their products have certainly become
central to my music experience. Seems that even the villains have taste these days - recently I lost two laptops and a maxed-out iPod in a break-in. No Windows stuff touched! Now I have just an iPod Shuffle for the gym. Love listening to prog while surfing this site ... and on weekends when I can power up my big speakers ... and in the car on these cold winters days. I find that good prog keeps me vibed and very focussed on the driving. ------------- It's a rainy day, sunshine girl |

I know exactly how that is, but IMO I think it's better to be broke with endless time at home to spend listening to music during the summer, then to work all day, be miserable, and have only a couple of hours to listen to music only to fall asleep to it because your work schedual is so tite and the only free time you have is for sleeping. ------------- "http://tinypic.com"">

Trous, I don't know any teenagers that collect P G Wodehouse. You are one of a kind.All teenagers however should listen to prog, have a healthy interest in comedy, act, write, draw and paint while talking loudly to people as well as have a brass hunting horn and spend plenty of time with their girlfriends (in the country). It keeps them from pestering their parents for money and provides protection from attacks from rabid foxes. By the way, what is a 'necessarily' healthy time to spend with a girlfriend?? ------------- Eternity |

I'm not sure, but most people seem to think me n' the lass are a little excessive in the amount of time we have to spend in contact with one another (usually most nights from 6/7ish through to the small hours of the morning). But I think it's probably to do with being several hundred miles apart. Other means of communication take on a little more importance, I suppose. |

Car - Everyday on the way to and from work Work - Occasionally play a CD & listen to headphones on my PC Home - At the computer if it's late at night. I usually exercise after work - I put a CD on and crank it loud enough for the whole house... that's my favorite!

At home, as I don't drive and don't usually carry my Walkman around - not being able to hear properly could be a life hazard in the traffic of my home town! I listen to music (prog and otherwise) when I do the housework or when I'm sitting down in my living room doing something else I enjoy very much - stitching. I know the combination sounds a bit unlikely, but I'm capable of stitching nice, flowery pictures while listening to King Crimson or even Metallica or Black Sabbath! BTW, Tangerine62: fortunately not all women are interested in 3-minute, unchallenging pop songs! I hate that kind of crap and always have, but I agree that it's difficult to find a woman who loves music you actually have to listen to. |

Either 1: travelling (Fortunately the Walkman makes this very easy - I used to bus an hour and a half daily. Now it's two hours, even worse!), or 2: late at night, on the computer doing computer-y things. For obvious reasons it's headphones. 3: the RARE times when everyone has, as chance would have it, left the house to go run errands and I am free to use the record player (because in my house nobody seems to like listening to music unless there's a visual provided) or 4: studying. Again, headphones, but this is actually pretty fun because when I let the music flow to the mental back-burner while busying self with horrible things like multivariable calculus BTW, comments such as that from Tangerine62 kinda tick me off, I must admit. |
