Is anyone listening to more music and why?

[kentuck]

[SWBTATTReg]

1. No. Why would I listen to yet, more music than what we normally do?

[robbob]

20. More time on your hands?

[hatrack]

2. I never stopped (musician) so no change in volume but trying to branch out . . .

Some classical composers I'd never heard of before, more jazz, and (oddly) more movie soundtracks (Bernard Hermann, Thomas Newman, Jerry Goldsmith - which seem to fit the times).

[kentuck]

3. +100

I couldn't make it without music.

5. Subscribed to Nugstv so I could listen to taped live shows.

They have been putting on some great shows. Widespread every Sunday night.

8. I saw them at Red Rocks with some friends.

It was great!

[Lochloosa]

21. My brother and I go to Mexico for Panic in the Playa every year.

Only 3500 people for 4 shows. The vibe is great. Well worth the trip. They have cancelled this year for obvious reasons. Maybe 2022.

25. Cool!

6. Music gets me up and moving and I'm so saturated from 24/7 bad news, so yeah

I'm trying to listen more. It definitely helps with mood, too.

[kentuck]

9. I've been listening to the Dead for the last couple of days...

They do some good jamming. I like all sorts of music. My favorites are bluegrass, blues, and rock.

7. Yep squared

I didn't think I could listen to more music than I already do. Between listening to my vinyl collection and Sirius Radio, music is playing around me almost 24/7.

I've been spending time listening to artist channels on Sirius radio - like binge watching, I've been binge listening. I love The Beatles and Rolling Stones' channels, and the Fleetwood Mac channel is also a good listen. Their early stuff, before Nicks and Buckingham joined the Mac, is really good. I especially like the albums "Bare Trees" "Mystery to Me" "Heroes Are Hard to Find" and "Then Play On." I'm pleasantly surprised how much they delve into the non Buckingham Nicks history. I even created a playlist on my iTunes with songs by Christine McVie from only her pre-B/N work.

p.s. So, according to Mick as he chuckled, The Beatles "Sun King" was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross." There is a similar vibe to the two songs. I thought that was interesting.

Next Up - Binging the David Bowie Channel.

[kentuck]

10. I love the Beatles beginning with Sgt Peppers and forward thru White Album.

For me, that was their most creative period. I never tire of listening.

[duforsure]

11. I'm retired so no

I've always loved music of many kinds. I also find a lot of things I've never seen before online like on my smart TV YouTube , and many other new channels . Like older groups not seen when I was very young that never was on TV then.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Yes. It moves the savage beast, the stones and senseless trees.

Turn it up.

[phylny]

14. Yes, we finally got decent Internet here in rural Virginia (thanks Gov. Northam and Dems!)

and we have smooth jazz on in the background. There's just so much MSNBC we can tolerate without feeling anxious.

[Aristus]

15. I'm actually listening to less music right now.

I still keep music going in my office at work. But my recreational activities with Mrs. Aristus in normal times include the opera and the ballet. All of those artistic venues in Seattle are closed right now.

[NightWatcher]

16. Xm has a Led Zeppelin channel this month and it's been on most of the days in my house or headphones

I'm listening to way more music lately. Can't focus to read much but music holds my attention nicely.

[lark]

18. Yes, we're definitely listening to more music.

Some of it is streaming music, like the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and some is just listening to faves on Spotify or Sirius. We have more spare time so we spend some of it this way because it brightens up our lives and puts us in a better place.

[Ferrets are Cool]

19. Yes, there are no sports to distract me.

So, it's music, music, music. Mostly prog. But, a wee bit of jazz will slip in occasionally.

[kentuck]

24. Excellent!

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. 👍

[ooky]

22. I listen to a considerable amount of music anyway, but yes, because

the increase has occurred as a replacement for cable news TV in the background. The cable news has gotten so bad I have had to cut it off for a while and put music channels on instead. It improves the atmosphere.

[Baclava]

23. No, less. Less noise, less background clutter, I even turn off all tv sound and let subtitles run

I must be an Anomaly

[kentuck]

26. Sometimes silence is the best music.

Time and place for everything.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

27. I've always listened to lots of music but lately I'm listening to more Solfeggio Frequency music

than I usually do. It's relaxing and I've found it most effective with headphones or earbuds.

Here's the best part; If I listen to it while looking at news stories it keeps me chill where I used to get flabbergasted and snarky.

Love the Dead too, btw. Great choice with this one!

[kentuck]

28. I have gotten closer to my old guitar.

...during these times.

It is quite meditative for me.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

30. Nice!

[Dave Starsky]

34. Ah, Solfeggio! I've been listening to that a lot, too...

It seems perfectly themed to the world we live in today.

[DFW]

29. Listenting a little more. Certainly writing more music than I usually do!

Free time will do that to you............

[Generic Brad]

31. Less variety, more music

I was listening to my large, eclectic music library in my car during my commute. But since I work from home, no more. But I have learned my wife listens to the same three Adele songs for hours each day.

Make

It

Stop

!!!!!

[Iggo]

32. I couldn't possibly listen to more music.

Well, wait.

I have filled in the spaces where I used to watch sports games and sports related television with more music.

So I guess yes I have been.

[mvd]

35. I already listened to a lot, but yes, even more

due to being inside and for stress relief. Too bad many new releases were delayed.
