Do you listen to your own music / do you enjoy listening to your own music?

the only reason i record my own music is to be able to hear it outside of the context of me sitting in my room playing guitar. i want to hear some of my melodies and ideas at the beach or driving through a forest or walking to the supermarket, etc. i think it's maybe kind of different for me, because it literally is a form of therapy that is more beneficial than anything else i've ever encountered. i post my music on bandcamp for anybody to hear, but i'm essentially using it as a free cloud service. if someone else hears something i did and enjoys it, well hey, bonus!

i guess it also helps that my whole premise to recording music is to just accept that i'll never gain any notoriety or make any money from it (because i'm not really very good at it, if we're being totally honest) and that nobody actually cares about my music except me and the lovable weirdos that i share a brain with.

good thread.
