It's a problem. I'd like to have much more time just for listening than I have. Too often I hear music while also doing other things like reading for work, homework etc. Also I'm not running around in the streets with earphones; I want to have open ears for what's around.

I can do mathematics in my head and play music in my head simultaneously. I attribute this ability to the maths and music being in different hemispheres of the brain. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Mostly at home, sometimes with homework (I can concentrate listen music and wash dishes same time although I am a man), sometimes I just lay down to listen.

I've recently gotten into listening music while sleeping.

I'm semi retired (I still tend to small business ventures) so there is a lot more time for me to listen to music but I can't say that I've come across anything musically that expands my listening. I still like much of the older stuff I've listen to years ago but have expanded a little bit on those artists but that's all.

Nice! My son is proggy too, and we share listening and playing music together. |

I work at home and have my own space, so when I'm not working, I'm listening to music and/or researching music. Daily life is a distraction, though, it can sometimes be hard to listen to a whole album without being interrupted or distracted.

The car for me too, though at home, I always use my I-Pod (yes, I still have one of those, since all my music does not fit in my phone), with my Bose noise cancelling headphones for a better experience. When I'm alone at home, I play the music on the main stereo, but when my wife is at home, the headphones will do, to avoid her comments and her interrupting my listening experience. Curiously enough, my daughter likes a lot of my music, so we rock to some good prog together once in a while. I also have a "gym music" list full of prog songs for when I go to exercise.

First I agree with you about CAR...maybe my main place to listen prog music. But I listen too with earphones, or when Im doing some other activities. I dont listen music as I swimm, but...you know, prog universe is so wide...I like much Jean Michel Jarre for example (not so prog maybe but related), and use to listen him when I do another kind of excercise, or something, not only him, many more out there. Music is integral part of my life for one side, for another, mainstream music is on this times (in general terms) something so empty...

Outside of the collaborators I wonder how listening to prog fits in with your life schedule? Work and or families and other obligations can stop the best of us from relaxing and enjoying an album.
For me I am in the car a lot so it allows for some longer listening. So anyone here who is on top of the prog scene must set aside time for it as unlike other forms of music it lends itself best for full album listening sessions. It is much easier to digest more traditional rock music with generally shorter songs.If you listen to music while exercising so you listen to prog? I myself tend to not listen to prog to work out to For what ever reason I need more punchy music for it. I bring this upnbecause this site is a sea of info on bands to check out but time is not always available to me. |
