that's a very good idea - but when I play prog my friends tend to run away ...

At home. My music has no portability at the moment. Not so much as a portable CD player! God knows how I'll survive 7 hours on the train next week...

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.

Ouch...  Trous...  poor guy 


...I'm listening to prog right now.  I listen to it when I exercise, I listen to it when I work, if possible, I listen to it when my car's not broken down (), and I listen to it when I make love.

Trouser, thats what you call, 'playing hard to get'. a guy with your skills should not be broke.

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.

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.

In the living room, usually during holydays or with my Ipod while I´m on the tube.

I also listen to prog in my car during weekends

 I’m a night owl so I listen to prog mostly at night on the computer - speakers are a no-no because the neighbours are rather old and grouchy.

 

Last month, at a deserted campground, I pumped up the volume one night and played Arena’s almost entire repertoire. Man, that was fun  !!!

What is the plural of Walkman?  Is it Walkmen or Walkmans?  As in, "Yeah, I bought two Walkmen yesterday?"  Or, "Which of these two Walkmans do you prefer?" 

Just a thought.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Well I don't know what employable skills you think I have, but I've certainly none that'll get me a part-time job to fund my many habits. I spent most of spring and early summer looking for a job but no one would take me on ANYWHERE. I've given up now.
