Where do you Listen?
 
i personally feel that their is no better way to enjoy an album or a song than parking in a nice area with a view of something pretty, and just sitting back and relaxing in the car with a good album on. the sound quality is the best i think it could possibly be because you are entirely immersed in it seeing as how you have speakers on all sides of you. the acoustics in the car are also amazing since you are in such a small space but yet you are still comfortable.

to be honest i find that inorder to actually experience the music i have to be in my car, any other sound quality just doesnt cut it for me. theres nothing better than just sitting back, smoking some of the devils lettuce and enjoying "the wall" or "deltron 3030" for an hour of my life in my own little personal box :)

so where do you like to listen to your music? i dont mean just listen to it, i mean sit down and experience it.

I either:
1) pop whatever it is want to listen to in my stereo, lay down on my bed and close my eyes.
-or-
2) pop whatever it is want to listen to in my stereo, lay down on my bed and play N64 while I listen to it.

My room, looking out my window.

Listening to Kid-A on a cold frosty morning was very nice.

I'm looking forward to moving to my new house, it has a great view outside of it.

Kool_Dude_HaMeR 06-19-2009 04:35 PM

would have to be my bedroom with curtains drawn, like the geek that I am.

though I think, I listen to the majority of music on headphones while I go to work...

I always listen to music in my room, usually while I'm doing something else - reading, writing, playing Football Manager 2008, drinking, tidying up or whatever. I'm sure if I could drive I'd take full advantage of my car's stereo system though.

What about masturbating? most use video, but each to their own.

I do the same thing, reading writing, gaming, drinking, working out, thinking, music is usually on the stereo. :)

Gone Sugaring 06-19-2009 04:40 PM

Pretty much everywhere I go. At school, between class periods, or walking somewhere if I'm not with anybody. At home I have my record player and I'll just sit in my room doing nothing but listening to music.

Oddly enough, I was gonna crack a funny about that. I decided against it though - I consider such remarks to be in frightfully vulgar and poor taste :D

It depends how old you are...

crazymenrunningback 06-19-2009 04:50 PM

I enjoy listening to it while lying in bed, but I loev it the most when Im with my friends and we are just hanging out, (not really talking) and we just listen to it, but i hate when I listen to it when Im with my friends that like bands like blink 182 and new found glory and stuff cause if I do they will keep asking me to change it something good. Then purposly Ill put on boredoms or melt banna and then he will get angry :tramp:

LoathsomePete 06-19-2009 05:33 PM

My computer is where most of my music is, however there is a backroom in my house that I've colonized, put in an old beat up chair and foot rest and some speakers with an auxiliary cable that can connect to my mp3 player and I just sit back there and listen to music. I usually bring my laptop with me and rant. I've been meaning to add a love seat or couch there as well so I can have friends over and we can talk or listen to music.

Arya Stark 06-19-2009 05:45 PM

The front of my house is really peaceful as night. It's always good to listen to music there.

Astronomer 06-19-2009 07:43 PM

I listen to most of my music in my car, while I'm driving. Which is why most of it doesn't scrobble onto my last.fm. I also enjoy singing loudly in my car and having people look at me strangely when I'm stopped at traffic lights.

Me too! Except not really...I'm like that guy in "Office Space" who turns down the gangsta rap when the black homeless guy walks by my car window. lol

Rickenbacker 06-19-2009 09:01 PM

That was my favorite part.

Oh Michael Bolton x)

Anteater 06-19-2009 09:02 PM

I listen to music when I'm skydiving or when people I don't like try to lecture me. :wave:

TheCunningStunt 06-19-2009 09:04 PM

I recentely sat out in the garden, with the patio doors open, with a CD on.

It was quite nice, should've gone for something softer though. :(

The Abominable Homan 06-19-2009 09:50 PM

The majority of the time I just have it playing while I'm sitting at the comp browsing the internet. Not the best way to experience music, I know, but what usually happens.

If I'm feeling up for truly experiencing it, it's nice to just get in the dark and listen. I tend to fall asleep though.

sidewinder 06-20-2009 01:13 AM

I miss having a car, especially one with a good sound system, because it's such a nice escape from life. Whether you're driving or parked somewhere, music + car were a big part of my youth.

The older you get, the less time you have to just sit somewhere and listen to music, unfortunately. So most of my listening takes place while at work or when doing stuff around the house (including net surfing).

My favorite times at the moment are when going for a walk or lounging by the lake/park. It's when I can relax the most.

Final_Victim 06-20-2009 02:18 AM

I usually listen to music just as a background thing while I'm on the computer/playing videogames, but when I really want to enjoy an album I'll lie on my bed and stare at the wall in the dark.

Seltzer 06-20-2009 02:34 AM

Mostly in my bedroom but also on the bus.

Raust 06-20-2009 10:03 AM

I listen to most of my music in my room or in my office.

Zer0 06-20-2009 03:10 PM

Mostly in my bedroom on my stereo or lying in bed at night listening to my ipod. I usually just have the radio on in my car when im driving to work cos i don't have to drive that far, but on long journeys there's nothing like driving to great music :D

sweet_nothing 06-20-2009 04:38 PM

Whenever I'm in my room something will be playing off my itunes. I only listen to the radio if I dont have my ipod listen to the radio so on the drive somewhere I'll have my ipod on or maybe a CD. Or even during school when I can I'll have my ipod on. Pretty much when ever I'm not at home I'll have my ipod on walking, at the mall or where ever. When I'm playing xbox360 I'll be using its music player. So pretty much ever except the bathroom, but I think some deathmetal would be appropriate whenever I'm taking a ****.

Kamikazi Kat 06-20-2009 04:50 PM

Mostly in the basement while I'm using my laptop, I usually listen with headphones. I really should try listening in other places, I think they can make for a nice experience. I've listened to cds while riding my bike (I ride on this really long bike path to avoid traffic so I can just ride without having to worry about cars and stuff) and it was a cool experience. I like listening to music while walking. Its less boring then sitting so my mind can be completely focused on the music. Its been even more enjoyable since I got a nice pair of sound canceling headphones, I love that feeling of just walking around my neighborhood and everything else but the music is completely muted, all the activity around me such as animals and cars are nice to look at while listening to music. I'm starting to have more time to get outside and listen to music since I'm on summer break from school right now.

Kool_Dude_HaMeR 06-20-2009 05:50 PM

Sound canceling headphones are great, but they're a bitch for getting you nearly run over every time you have to cross a street. I am surprised I didn't actually get knocked down yet. You just can't hear them cars.

Flower Child 06-21-2009 07:10 PM

Songs just have a new meaning when I'm riding the ol rotten school bus in the morning just when the sun is coming up. I just sit back there in the back enjoying my jams and watch all the rowdy whippersnappers I'm riding with.

When I was in high school I always used to listen to my music on the bus. Riding the bus to school in the morning is so depressing and I hated school, so it was like an escape and made my morning that little bit better :)

IWP 06-22-2009 01:55 AM

I usually listen to my music either in my car or when I'm taking a shower, anywhere I can sing along without having to worry about sounding stupid. =P

DearJenny 06-22-2009 11:47 PM

When I'm playing video games or on the computer. Its good background noise. I rarely just sit there and listen to music. In my car as well. I'm more than guilty to singing at the top of my lungs while I'm driving.

mr. goth glam 06-23-2009 06:16 AM

Generally, I listen while writing, which is anywhere from six to eight hours a day.

RonaldSays 06-23-2009 07:57 AM

I listen to everyone's music here in the office including all the crap from some colleagues. I record the "Kink40" from a local alternative radio station over here in the Netherlands(Kink FM | The Alternative) to stay up-to-date with the alternative music scene and listen to it while working out in the gym. I still prefer buying CDs so I play those at home and also instantly put those on my MP3 player. I don't think there are many moments that I'm not listening to music.

Definitely in a car you get the acoustics and experience that is hard to match.

I really enjoy a good set of headphones (put the ipod buds away for awhile) in a dark room, as comfortable as I can get. Even the heavy stuff comes through in different wavelengths and at a new and exciting depth when you close everything else out, letting your head numb all other senses and amplify the sense of sound....

I know, anything to make school a little less torturous

Unrelenting 06-23-2009 02:11 PM

I listen to it a lot when I'm at the computer. Also when I'm taking walks, or long trips on the bus or in the car. Certain music is great to listen to whilst high.

Darkest Hour 06-24-2009 08:11 PM

Where all of my cd's are. In my car. It gets straight up gangsta in there.
