Emo Revival Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Vary rarely do I have time to just sit and listen to a record and do nothing else, except in the morning when I'm having my coffee. Most of the time now a days I play video games, or read/study/write papers while listening to records. Occasionally I also watch sports, I see a lot of muted baseball + records in my future for the summer. So I was wondering what you guys do, because I can't be the only one that does other things while listening to records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyshotgun Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 most of the time, i just sit and play video games while listening. it's just nice to unwind that way. there are a few records that i actually do sit with the inserts and actively listen.

kylekrische Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Cook. It was always my dream to have a living room connected enough to a Kitchen to do so. Living with roomates in a house the last two years botched that. My new place though is a one bedroom and is perfect for it. Best time to listen.

Living with roomates in a house the last two years botched that. My new place though is a one bedroom and is perfect for it. Best time to listen. I live in a one bedroom, and my kitchen is attached to my living room, and when I'm not at school and have time to cook, I play records at the same time. It is super relaxing to do that, and def one of my favorite ways to listen to records, although having to flip the record over in the middle of cooking can be a bit of a pain in the ass.

Emo Revival Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Drink whiskey. Not a big whiskey person, but I'd say roughly 60% of the time I'll drink a beer or several while spinning some vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkticon Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Go through the available liner notes, look up the band's website and read bio info or info about the album on wikipedia. And if it's something I just received in the mail, I'm normally writing a blog about it for my site. I really should just put everything away and sit and relax and listen.

Guest Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Lay down and close my eyes. This. I also like listening as intently as possible to hear the mix, and any stereo field manipulation that may or may not be going on. Basically I try to listen to the overall production... /recording geekiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I usually just surf the internet. This. I have an office area with my computer, records, and books. Once in a while I'll kick back with a chair and read the liner notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
