How do you listen these days?

Tramp stamps and tribal tattoos.

Also, I usually listen on a boombox at work. My car stereo, which new cars all seem to have good ones nower days. And my monitors at home, if at my computer or the sound bar if throughout the house.

As far as sources. Usually Spotify or YouTube. I’m slowly finding new stuff on Bandcamp, here and there but it is for IDMF Netlabel stuff mostly.

I do go to the occasional local show here and there but it’s when my bro is playing. Which they play punk stuffs.

Most of the time I’m evaluating the last time I worked on something and how much interest I have in the project to move forward or on from it. Think I’m at like 47 started projects since my computer build. And I only know that because I’m labeling them by # now.

tramp stamps are just a target ;p

My main problem is that I’m lazy and impatient.

Three ways:

At home, Vinyl player in the sitting room.
Mostly classic Albums, jazz, and old electronic albums.

Also at home, but personally
Music from the internet, (youtube, record stores, Forums like these) On my ā€˜good’ listening set up (Onyx Interface, HD600’s).

On the move: iTunes with cheap, non bass boosting headphones.
Mostly folk music, newly discovered music, pop music, songs I might need to learn for a gig,
tracks I’m producing (to check mastering on limited playback devices).

So I guess Vinyl and Digital.

I think this convo is relevant, so I unbury it

I listen music in numerous ways on numerous supports

Youtube to listen to full albums without having to allow disk space to it
Soundcloud to dig accounts and great music without followers
CDs when I want to listen to music without doing something else, this is ancient process

My Aiaiai headphones when I’m outside, on my phone
My speakers when I’m at home
My tiny Bose when I’m cooking

I don’t drive
I don’t use Spotify and all that stuff

Things have changed for me in the past year. I’ve started making youtube playlists for myself, so now I use youtube music over wifi at work to drown out the office. City pop, deep house, motown/soul, and the occasional bit of classical when the mood strikes.

Mostly Google Music. I can upload bought indie MP3s to my account and stream them at my leisure.

Plus with a couple of Chrome extensions (Google Music Visualiser and Play Midnight for Google Play Music), it looks pretty badass on my otherwise unused laptop main screen in the office.

I still use my ancient and trusty ipod nano.
Also pandora through my monitors.

Same.salsbury hill over and over I am a nut boom boom boom

I prefer to sit down and listen to things, which I do on occasion, usually YT, sometimes my stored files. Elsewise, I listen to nothing, or with the windows open the ambience of the neighborhood - which is QUIET.

@relic : I wanted only the car and sound system. Got some of both over the years. My current system sounds the greatest of them all. The trim came a [different] way.

Lately I went thru a huge electronic music fatigue. I’m on a producing rush since a few months, and since a few days it’s like I OD’d. I can’t even open Ableton Live without some weird stress crisis ><

Since yesterday I’m on cooldown, here’s a part of what I listen to

And this is not the best A/V show I watched, but since he always does everything on its own, I find this pretty cool. And the place is awesome.

I have listened to ThePrimeThanatos a bit lately (I sit down and chill and listen), after Youtube suggested it to me. (I don’t know how YT gets its data on me, given my behavior…). I find most of it boilerplate, fun at moments. Some tracks shine out, typically a slower tempo, though none of these rank in my top ten…

More synthjazz (?)

The old fashioned way. with my ears!

Rarely on Spotify.

Mostly on my Plenue D filtered through my FiiO A3 into my M-100’s.

Bluetooth mobile…does wonders…I dont workout with it though because my theory is watery flop sweat will shorten the life span of such tech…so yea…le la

Oddly enough the amazon blue tooth sound just as good as reg headphones go figure hey…

I’m thinking about upgrading to Bluetooth, but it’s so expensive.

I actually still download music (mostly from bandcamp) and put the music on my phone and Ipod. This way I get to listen to my music with no ads and I know the money I spend is going to the artist.

Same here; I feel that a connection with Itunes, allows my physical cd’s, and I can bandcamp download, and make my own playlists. I follow some groups on facebook, soundcloud, etc. so I am up to date on new releases.
