I like listening late at night/early morning with headphones too, but usually Im on the computer listening to music.. which is quite irritating because I have to listen to whatever my sister is playing on the other side of the room... usually crap. I also plug my speakers into my portable CD player in my room from time to time and sit in the comfy chair... and draw thing... usually robots... silly silly robots. And airships. And cool stages for the awesome concerts I imagine myself playing in... If I could actually play an instrument that is. .. .  ah....

yes.

In my backyard, sitting on a long lawn chair, under my tree.

During homework   with speakers.

Headphones for in the backyard, and during night. My bed is right next to my computer so I can lay in my bed with my headphones plugged into the comp and enjoy the perfect sound quality.

I can never stay awake at night for very long though , and that is the majority of my listening since I never do homework , and weather in Texas is preety unpredictable and wild.

In my lazy-man (not lazy-boy) chair, occasionally stoned, but always drawing or writing something.

At work with head phones, this doesn't really work very well cause i need to concentrate.
At home reading PA, playing or watching chess and bridge.
Cycling, this is really a very good way for me to get into new music once i'm out of town.
With my girlfriend, we don't have exactly the same taste though so there is some negotiating
involved here. She knows a lot about music though and she's got a very good ear for influences so i pick up quite a lot of useful info here.

Most of the time i listen to it on the computer. I also love driving around aimlessly blasting my music at top volume. Also, sometimes i play some as i go to sleep, and occasionally portable CD player/iPod.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Now with a little 3 year old chainsaw with feet tearing aroung the house, my
music experience at home is quite limited. Thank the good Lord for CD
players for the car. That's were I do the majority of my music listening.

I'm usualy in my room, blast the music to max volume (Isn't as loud as you think, I have a crappy boom box, but still pretty loud.) Normally thats all I pay attention too. If it's something more calm then I'll write a story too it, generally fantasy. (So great to do with Peter Gabriels "Passions")

In the ideal situation I put on a blacklight, some insence, and my brain and let the music take over. It's also nice to go on a hike in the woods with a walkman or mp3 player and be in nature with your music.

I'm just wondering how/where/when everyone listens to music.

I used to read at night. Mostly fantasy/scifi, anything interesting and imaginative (fave: Otherland series by Tad William: 4 books for a total of 3600 pages!). But then I ran out of books.

So I bought some nice headphones, and now I listen to music in pitch blackness in the early hours of the morning. I'm semi-insomniac, so it doesn't bother me. But it's almost like sensory deprevation, except for the ears. Last night, I did Larks Tongue for the first time, and while I didn't really like the opening song (bit random for a first listen I think), it went al over the place and I enjoyed it.

Other albums I've done, and remembered, are DSOTM and Sky Moves sideways. Both of which were profound experiences to say the least

So yeah, what's your prefered method for experiencing new (or old faves) music?

BL~
