Do you listen to music?

Zangetsu · 29-01-2009 4:59pm #1

This is a bit of an odd one really, never been able to get my head around it...

I have a few friends and know a couple other people that have absolute NO interest in music. This is absolute madness in my mind, how someone could survive without it is beyond me...

So how bout it... Any of you freaks people on boards?

Epic Tissue · 29-01-2009 5:01pm

I don't think it's possible to vote no. Music is everywhere. TV, Radios, Shops, etc.

That's hearing music. He means listen... man. I mean really listen. Dude.

Creamy Goodness · 29-01-2009 5:02pm

i would listen to > 100 tracks at day, easily.

in fact i'm listening right now.

i would die if i couldn't listen to music, i really would

29-01-2009 5:03pm

I don't really. I don't have a soul for it to appeal to.

metamorphic · 29-01-2009 5:03pm

They're probably telling you they don't because you bang on about it so much. I know people like you, and you make me dislike discussing music.

(if you're one of those people of course)

Zangetsu · 29-01-2009 5:03pm

Listen by choice ie. listen to music as entertainment...

Wasn't asking if people go around with ear protectors to avoid it...

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 29-01-2009 5:04pm

I couldn't not listen to music.....I listen a music all the time!

Queen-Mise · 29-01-2009 5:05pm

I go through phases of listening & not listening to music (tbh i do that with everything, haven't listened to radio for past 4 months).

at the moment i am listening to ambient, easy listening, chilled out kind of music.

Professey Chin · 29-01-2009 5:07pm

Someone tries to take music away from me, I take their life. No negotiation:mad:

Holsten · 29-01-2009 5:08pm

I do indeed listen to music.

Anyone who doesn't listen to music is a freak of nature, and I fart in your general direction.

Creamy Goodness · 29-01-2009 5:10pm

according to my last.fm i've listend to 63 tracks today well since 00:00am.

that's actually quite high consider i was asleep from 2:00-11:30.

should have made the poll public so we could lynch the gingers that voted no :pac:

stevelknievel · 29-01-2009 5:11pm

Music is my life. My brother got a car 3 years ago and all it has is a crappy radio and tape player. I'm in a state of shock that he still ahsn't got a CD player for it. That woulda been the first thing I get. Even before petrol.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 29-01-2009 5:11pm

I'm listening to music right now! To drown out the death metal my housemate is listening to across the room.

biko · 29-01-2009 5:13pm

Yes but I'm not glued to my mp3 player either

Usually listen in the car, just got a stereo with USB so can now load up what I feel like listening to every morning.

IvySlayer · 29-01-2009 5:13pm

I love music, can't live without it. I listen to around 50 songs a day.

Didn't think gingers were allowed to listen to music in the first place.

Smart Bug · 29-01-2009 5:17pm

I would go tunefully crazy if I hadn't my music.

Dragan · 29-01-2009 5:44pm

I listen to a **** load of music. Wake up in the morning and head to work, listening to music. Get in and say hello, sit down at 9:30 and listen to music nonstop at my desk, breaking only for meetings. So call it about 5 hours of listening to music. Arrive home and stick on a mix by Ghosty or Peter Worth or Decline to chill out after the day, then load up Win Amp with a playlist depending on the mood and listen until i go to bed. Hit the hay and stick on something like Dream Theatre, Opeth of Fat Freddies Drop, anything that is good to fall asleep to.

I'd say on weekdays i spend about 80% of my time awake listening to music. Weekends even more.

PurpleBerry · 29-01-2009 5:49pm

I know a lot of people say "I listen to music. If there's nothing on the TV I will switch it off and just listen to music." I have yet to meet someone who actually does this though.

I've reminded people of their words and the main excuses are "Ah, I can't really be arsëd." "I can never decide what to listen to." and "Oh yeah, I used to do that, when I lived at home."

Karl Hungus · 29-01-2009 5:50pm

Yes. It's safe to say, I do.

Yes I do. Constantly.

Yep. Apparently it's "too much hassle" trying to decide what songs to put on, whether to play the whole album, if not then they have to keep changing...

- I don't get it either.

Riddle101 · 29-01-2009 5:55pm

Now, I can't say that's too strange. I feel like that sometimes, like I can't decide between one thing or the other.

Sabre0001 · 29-01-2009 5:55pm

Yep, love music! Don't go through a day without a dose...

29-01-2009 6:00pm

What is this lastfm business you are all talking about?

chin_grin · 29-01-2009 6:01pm

No, what's this meeeu-sssssssic you speak of. This is the debbils work indeedy.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH.

But seriously........yes yes I do. I must have the strangest tastes. Metal+a bit of dance+doom+stoner metal+kodo=metal drumming that you can dance to. Yay!

Bryan Habana · 29-01-2009 6:01pm

Sure do. Oasis being fairly high up the list.

basically is a website that tracks and uploads to your personal www.last.fm page what you've been listening to.

i have it install on my pc/work laptop/personal laptop and my phone so the only music that i listen to that isn't tracked is music i listen to in the car.

btw i was the only one who mentioned last.fm heheh

Karl Hungus · 29-01-2009 6:07pm

Something I kinda wonder now, do many people here ever watch concerts/performances on DVD, or TV? I've got quite a few music DVDs myself, and I'll often pop one on.

Also, I bring you more music:

Dudess · 29-01-2009 6:07pm

I have met a small handful of people who said: "I don't like music" and "I don't like film"... WTF?!

PrivateEye · 29-01-2009 6:08pm

"Everything will pass, and the world will perish- but the Ninth Symphony will remain"
-Mikhail Bakunin.

Theres bands like The Clash, The Pogues and artists like Leonard Cohen I'd honestly think I'm all the better for having ever heard. A world without music would be.....boring.

Surely if you have a decent collection of music on your computer you just hit "random"? I mean, it your comp of whatever so you should be happy with everything on it? Then again, maybe they don't have the comp hooked up the stereo and all that!

We don't have tv channels in our place, so it's normally music that is on, unless we really want to watch something like Futurama, Family Guy or whatever else we have on the hard drives.

Which is a good bit of stuff in fairness.

i don't have many music dvd's myself, but i'm a sucker for soundboard recorded bootlegs concerts that have been filmed and stuck up on youtube and the like.

I think there's a lot of people who don't actually listen to music. I mean, for a lot of people music is just a backing track for dancing. I remember talking to a girl about music and when I'd bring up certain things she'd say she doesn't like it because she can't dance to it.

This is for you by the way:

Nobody listen to it but Dudess.

This one is for everyone else:

Some was attempting to expose Janeymc's Last habits in another thread.
So there smarty pants. :razz:

Ross_Mahon · 29-01-2009 6:17pm

When i was younger i never gave music a chance, Now i listen to all kinds of music, I could never stick to one genre of music.

No, not really. Mostly they fail to appeal to me. Having said that there are a few performances I have on tape which I've watched countless times.

Do you like sport though?

Whilst I find it odd that people can't or don't enjoy a particular segment of culture there is no doubt some area of it which most of us can't or don't enjoy.

Stercus Accidit · 29-01-2009 6:20pm

I don't really bother.

If I am near a radio I'll throw on phantom, but thats about it, cant be bothered most of the time, I don't understand how people spend hours downloading and compiling a playlist, which will last half an hour? Its so much hassle, and so little reward.

You get sick of any song after a while.

Yeah, I agree, but they'd still have it on in the background - listen to the radio on the way to/from work etc. But to actually not like music...

Thats a bit harsh. I'm not saying its not true ... just that its harsh.

Go to youtube and put in Julia Nunes - listen to the covers she does but also her own stuff like "binoculars".

I only listen to 5-10 songs a day.

The only music I dont like is Alternative & Indie .......

Elessar · 29-01-2009 6:22pm

Honestly, I don't listen to music as I'm just not into it. I'm otherwise an average 23 year old male in college etc, but I can't really see why I should listen to music. It all seems a bit pointless. What's the purpose of it? I have better things to do.

Now I don't HATE music, I have a good few songs on my iPhone, but I'd easily go a few months without purposely listening to a track. It's just noise, pleasant for a while, but I'd rather watch and listen to the world I'm living in.

I do, my collection of live dvds is growing steadily all the time. Both bootlegs and official releases.
