Had an interesting conversation with my boss, who took part, and used to be a music editor at The Big Issue, and he was really intrigued by how I deliberately picked ambient music to work to for its utility and purpose; I do definitely have a mental checklist of albums (and a pretty extensive playlist on the iPod) that I know wont distract me but will fill space and comfort me.
But yeah, I do cook to music, and wonder what activity I'm paying attention to; and the answer is both neither and both.

this'd be neat, as my music listening habits have entirely changed. i've pretty much abandoned last.fm (last log-in: nov. 2011) and lately have found that walking around w/ headphones has really been counterproductive to how sociable a person i am, so i've quit that (bus-riding, bike-riding, skateboarding = yes.... don't fault my logic, i know i don't have any)

Starting to properly think about this now.

Due to getting caught up with buying a house and being visited by the queen and working in cornwall and stuff, this didn't get started last monday. So we're doing it from bank holiday monday, instead.

If I weren't doing Then Play Long (and resting a lot because of, um, medical orders) then this would be a good idea. Otherwise I can guarantee you that if it covered tomorrow, my contribution would be a scruffy single sheet of paper with closely-written, largely indecipherable shorthand which I then have to turn into a cogent blog post. Since my wife and I both listen to TPL albums and her thoughts and insights contribute hugely to the final blog product, then I have to scribble these down as soon as she thinks of them.
In truth this would also be the case next Saturday, except knowing what the album is, I expect I will need more than just the one sheet of paper.

Just list everything you listen to for the week, even if a big chunk is for TPL.
