At work I listen to various prog stations on live365.com.  Although today I will be listening to England win the test match today in Manchester  (if not I will be  ).

I've downloaded loads of tracks from this site to my mp3 thingy and am working my way through them. The most played track is currently Paranoid Android by Radiohead, which amazes me as I thought I didn't like Radiohead!

I primarily listen to music in my room, and soon in my car (CD player coming my way)

Anyone else out there have the complication that occurs when your other half has a problem with your love of prog? 

ah by the sound of it you're in Melbourne! Welcome to the Archives from a fellow Oz (Adelaide)  ... well originally a Pom but that can't be helped - just don't mention the cricket eh?  

Yeah, my hubby is a reluctant prog listener ... headphones work best (he wears them to block out the sound ) ... however, he did come with me to see Yes in Melb. 2 yrs ago  ... so its gradually sinking in ... oh, and he says he cant listen to Kasey Chambers anymore - a small victory methinks!

 

Well done on the Kasey Chambers victory!!!  That is something I don't have to deal with at least. More than happy to mention the cricket after last nights effort!!!   
Can't think of anything cool at the moment ...

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.  or ...

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 , I swear I appreciate it on a whole new level. Have I told any of you how Yes helps boost your math mark?  It's funny but I'm serious.

BTW, comments such as that from Tangerine62 kinda tick me off, I must admit.  Even though I know that's just your opinion and is a reflection of your personal experience.

At home when I get in from work everyday.

In the mornings, on my walkman, walking to work.

A good three hour music session every Saturday & Sunday morning; sets me up for the day and puts me in a good mood for any 'non working day'

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
