koljou Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 One time my friend came over and I was listening to a record just sitting on my couch with my lights off and a candle burning. Even I was confused. Real talk though I usually just sit on the internet or get drunk. A_Boring_Story and eskimosnow27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Internet, drink, or both. Sometimes video games if I'm just fucking around playing COD multiplayer or something. Sometimes when I'm sewing I'll listen to records but I get annoyed when I have to get up to flip sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippielauryn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Mostly cleaning, cooking and when people come over. Or if I feel like dancing around and frightening my cats. That usually happens too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So much cleaning. My records are confined to my bed room, so generally I spin when I'm cleaning or being crafty of sorts. Occasionally I surf the interwebz but I rarely take my laptop upstairs. My room is too small and I start to feel antsy after awhile of being in there.

steventangent Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Dance. I wish that were the case. I live in an ancient house and cannot dampen things enough that dancing won't make my records skip horribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Surf the interweb, increase my post count on Vinyl Collective, clean, sing along, lie down and contemplate the meaning of life Really this i usually can't do just one thing. like, in school i had to have the tv on or i couldn't study. my brain can only multi-task, not task. I'm kinda the same but Ordinary Madness summed it up Sometimes I read but it has to be instrumental Regardless I spin a handful 3-4 times a week I dont spin them, they lose value This guy gets it!!!

Speedpig Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I like to get high and listen with no distractions. Then I usually just sit there while getting lost in the music and appreciating how awesome vinyl is. seamoney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaNoise Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's kind of interesting that a lot of us clean while spinning mcguirk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's kind of interesting that a lot of us clean while spinning That's one of the few times I don't listen to records, I don't like having to stop cleaning and go flip the record. I usually put on a podcast instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Usually when I spin my records, I lay the stylus on the wax and listen to the music. I do this while getting high and masturbating. whoshotthefrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Cooking, cleaning, and reading are all definitely record time for me. Honestly though there are times when I just like to lay on the couch and get lost in my thoughts/the music... It's kind of therapeutic for my crazy disorganized brain. I suffer from the effects of a pretty serious TBI that makes it hard to organize my thoughts sometimes, especially when I'm stressed. I honestly try to do it at least once a week for a few hours. There's something about the whole experience- the ritual of selection (finding something I'm in the mood to listen to) generally gives me something concrete to focus on in terms of why I selected the record in the first place. Once I figure that out I can usually make myself begin to unravel whatever else is on my mind, or I can just bask in the glory of experiencing an album the way the artist intended it to be heard.

danionly Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I wish that were the case. I live in an ancient house and cannot dampen things enough that dancing won't make my records skip horribly. I was blessed by decent carpet in my apartment. That and my dancing is less feet moving/jumping and more arm waving/butt shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aflycon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I lie on the floor when listening, but more out of necessity than preference. Since my speakers are on the floor, I hear a wider range by... y'know, putting my head between them and maximizing potential damage to my hearing. I do that and stare at the ceiling or the poster above my turntable, or try to catch the reflection of the vinyl in the dust-cover if it's up. That usually looks pretty cool.
