it's almost emasculating reading how much music you guys listen to throughout the day. 3 albums a day for me is an accomplishment!
― kelpolaris, Friday, 8 April 2011 03:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah my head would explode if I ever listened to as much as lex.
― popular gay automobile (a hoy hoy), Friday, 8 April 2011 09:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Lex listens to way more than I do, although I probably trumped most people yesterday due to a rather epic session. I was listening pretty constantly from about 8am until 11pm. Or, rather, I had music on for pretty much all that time. Whether any actual active listening took place rather than just just passive absorption is a different matter; but that's the point of the project.
― lol sickmouthy (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 8 April 2011 09:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i pretty much listen to music whenever i'm not actually with people (unless i'm transcribing or watching tennis or doing something incompatible w/music) - and this week's been a pretty socialising-heavy one. i never watch tv, which might explain a lot of it. am pretty much incapable of sitting in silence.
― lex pretend, Friday, 8 April 2011 09:53 (thirteen years ago) link
also whenever i'm on the move i ALWAYS have my ipod on, which accounts for a large amount of time
― lex pretend, Friday, 8 April 2011 09:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i also end up listening to totally new-to-me songs every day - yesterday was atypical in that i only listened to five new songs, the live stuff excepted...funny given what some people round here seem to think of me
― lex pretend, Friday, 8 April 2011 10:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Right, yesterday I did listen to:
Finished up that Screamadelica live setVoice of the Seven Thunders, st.
When's it finishing, today?
― Mark G, Friday, 8 April 2011 10:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm going to go through the weekend, and send out a survey, but if people only want to do up to today, that's fine.

Thing is, we're on a long journey, so I can furnish you with the playlist which is individual tracks, as well as particular albums too...

Go for it, dude. It's not (just) for me; it's for you; for anyone who reads it.

Where are you when you do most of your listening, Lex? What's the room like?
― lol sickmouthy (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 9 April 2011 09:35 (thirteen years ago) link
my bedroom unless otherwise stated. untidy. i tend to work/listen here because my music's all on an external HD and lugging both that and the laptop around every time i want to go somewhere else is not the one.

mr. sick mouthy - what're your overall intentions w/ this project? are there any specific questions you aim to answer?

And here's Day Six: http://troubleddiva.wordpress.com/2011/04/09/music-diary-project-%e2%80%93-day-six/
(Weekend listening differs from weekday listening in several ways, as today proved.)

Lying Around Listening To Music All Day Linked To Depression
― mookieproof, Saturday, 9 April 2011 23:20 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah - i think it's troubling when music i usually enjoy i no longer can derive pleasure from. music acts as such a ~high~ for me... much more successful at completely transporting me into my own mind than any other medium (movies, books, videogames i guess). so when i'll listen to a song i usually find such solace in and that it does fuck-all for me but seem to obstruct me from hearing my environment does that sorta act as like the biological blue-screen of death: YOU ARE DEPRESSED
― kelpolaris, Saturday, 9 April 2011 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Saturday, confirming that weekend listening is very different to weekdays.

quite dull really, there's only so much you can say re: "i had to stay in all day and was grumpy about it and this is what i tried to work to"
it'll be a rinse and repeat for today too fml fml
― lex pretend, Sunday, 10 April 2011 07:26 (thirteen years ago) link
i'd like to know too, it's not been unenjoyable but i don't really know why anyone would be interested in my entries. i mean, it's all on last.fm anyway, anyone who cares can go there...?

Saturday's listening - http://sickmouthy.com/2011/04/10/saturdays-listening/
My motivations will be revealed when I write up my "conclusion" circa Monday / Tuesday.
― lol sickmouthy (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 10 April 2011 08:20 (thirteen years ago) link
It would be good if 'Generally, how much of your attention did you give to the music you listened to?' was separated out a bit more and gave options for occasionally, often etc. for each option. I put down 'Some of my attention' as an average but it's so dependant on what the other activity I was doing is that that doesn't really cover it.
― if, Sunday, 10 April 2011 09:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Aye, I'd have liked to have gone into more detail, plus gone for demographic data, genre data, how many artists, how often each artist, etc etc etc, but you're limited to ten questions on Survey Monkey unless you pay for a pro account.

last day: http://alexmacpherson.tumblr.com/post/4506762203/music-diary-project-10-4-11
enjoyed doing this in the week, hated doing it at the weekend (partly because i hated having to stay in and write all weekend) ("write") (AAARGH FUCKING CUNTING WRITING)
― lex pretend, Sunday, 10 April 2011 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
if anyone was remotely interested do let me know why btw, cuz i can't fathom it
actually any PRs lurking around should definitely be on it (though it hasn't been a promo-heavy week at all)
