How much music do you manage to listen to
Posted by timjulian on 26 July 2009 - 12:11pm.
One of the fun things about last fm is being able to see what and how much I've listened to over the previous week. I normally rack up about 250 songs, mainly due to walking to and from work twice a day, (approx 100 minutes of listening time a day). Evenings are podcasts in the garden with a cold beer, books and boxsets of DVDs. I was curious to find out if my 250 songs a week is about average for the Massive.

Radio
With the advent of internet and iPlayer, I find myself listening to an awful lot of radio I would have missed nowadays.
Currently catching up on the Proms, so listening to Mahler's 9th from last Monday. A fantastic performance so far...
A new baby
I find about enough time for about twenty minutes music on the way to work and twenty minutes on the way home. I used to fit in at least a couple of hours in the evening, including cooking dinner. No more.
Sigh.
No spotify or iplayer for me
Living as I do in Berlusconistan I can't get Spotify or the iplayer so I rely pretty heavily on my ipod (and boxsets for decent TV.)
I can't stop the music in my head
I've constantly got a tune going round.. so I don't tend to do the headphone thing...mainly because when I do I start strutting down the street and probably look like a prize fool. The number of times I've nearly been run over is worrying.
Same for the car stereo ... I start driving like a gimp. So I tend to keep it on the downlow unless I have some open road.
I listen to a lot online via helpful Youtube postings courtesy of the massive ...it's been an education
I also play regularly with my band and with rehearsals and gigs I get a hefty dose of the loud stuff.
All Day
I work in a noisy factory (Print Finisher) so the iPod is on all day, about 7-12 hours plus 45 minutes each way to work. So I get through a fair amount of tunes!

Music vs podcasts
I typically listen to around 120-150 tracks per week, but the total can vary markedly depending upon whether I decide to while away my daily commute (90-100 minutes each way) by listening to music or podcasts.
When my daughter was first born
I was usually up early enough on Saturday to enjoy Brian Matthew's Sounds of the Sixties. A habit that continues now, even though I'm up fairly early during the week.
I usually manage a good couple of hours on the journey into and back from work (Whitby to Scarborough so the view's nice too). And, depending on how buay things are ag work, I get chance to listen in the office most of the day when I'm not teaching or mired in meeting hell.
I'm enjoying the Collings and Herrin podcasts a lot at the mo. foul-mouthed and puerile, but still good listening.
Last.fm Question
331 total plays for the week ending July 19th 2009.
I'm currently scobbling from an iPhone(work & dog walking), iPod Classic (car journey to work), iPod Touch (bedroom) and Spotify (PC).

Ta-dah!
I thought that I should
I thought that I should listen music all the time when I bought my first iPod, but I mainly listen to podcasts. The Word ( of course), Bill Simmons, Adam Carolla, Dave Damashek, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller, Sound Opinions and on and on. Am I weird or what?
Rush Limbaugh?
Yes, you're very weird ;-D
If I'm not listening to something specific
such as R4 or a podcast then the jukebox is on all day, set to random play. Doesn't necessarily mean I sit and listen to *every* track it plays but it's always there.
