How do you listen to music?

[CBinID]

Records, radio, CD, IPod, IPhone.  Where do you get your musical fix? 

And when you find an artist that speaks to you, what do you about it?  Do you learn all you can about him/her? Follow on social media?

I found the Pandora station.  It is a service that plays music you suggest and gives you a chance to "thumbs up or down" thereby creating a music genre of everything you like.  It learns from what you vote on to create your best supply of music.  I have found that this is very pleasing since I am an old fart and my music tastes are from the past, not the present.  I love Bob Segar, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and others in that style.  Did some of my best living to that music and it reminds me of good times I had long ago.  Check it out and you can find your ideal channel too!

I am a YouTube junkie. I wait for YouTube to suggest or promote something to me. I also have been experimenting with streaming radio services. They tend to play the same thing over and over though, as opposed to YouTube, which seems to have endless music. I do not really care as much about music as I used to though.

Music is one of the things that can put me into a relaxed mode. So when ever i want to relax a bit, i play my playlist. I also listen to music when I'm doing my chores of gardening.  If im gonna write something or do some research, i cannot listen to music because i find music distracting. It makes me sing along to the tune making me restart what I'm reading or thinking.

I mainly just build Pandora stations and jam on my headphones while I work and write. I have a huge collection of vinyl and CD's, from back in the day, and I blast those on my stereo and experience waves of nostalgia from back in my rocking college days. However, as I said earlier, playlists and old school giant 1970's style SkullCandy headphones are my preference. I love listening to indie-rock while I work on my poetry, short stories, blogs, etc.
