Your Most Preferred Activity While Listening To An Album for the 1st Time...

[Hussein Fonzarelli]

walkin naked round the house

 

[CapFromMCU]

multitasking is a myth, your mind can only fully focus on one thing at a time, i like to be on the treadmill when I listen to somethin for the first time, just focus on the music.

In an ideal world?

Getting my dikk sucked off a 10/10 chick, obviously.

inaugural run-through examination: thru headphones layin down

or sittin in a worthy chair with a beer and a pack of scags. preferably at night with no other electronic machines vying for attention of the god here in 2012.

next 1-2 runs: thru bookshelf speakers powered by a receiver in my apartment while i clean/mess around in the house. the stage where most new music submissions reach their demise.

final selection process: on the computer with headphones

if its made it this far and has passed inspection, it usually plays the rest of its life out in my car as newer projects take center stage at home where inspection takes place.

if your music is in my car's in-dash 30gb harddrive, it has reached the holy grail and pinnacle of existence.

whole process takes 1-3 weeks.

great stuff like cigarette boats gets thrown in the car in less than 12 hours.
terrible stuff can get the recycle bin treatment in 20 minutes.

average album reviewed gets chopped down to 2-6 songs. any more than six from the same album, its probably in contention for top 10 albums of the year.

lol, does anyone here have a decent system at home, or does everyone just listen to music on headphones or in your car?

if u cant put the time in to read the thread, dont respond with some half-baked post like a whiny malnourished cat u fukkin snob.

I put the headphone on and Zone Out... I might surf the web a bit on my iPad while listening but for albums like Nas, Jay-Z, Common, Lupe or The Roots; the FIRST listen is the most important listen, so I don't do anything except listen straight through without skipping. The night Life Is Good leaked I'd already told my wife I didn't want any interruptions when I was listening so she just watched Dawson's Creek (Don't even ask me why my beautiful Nubian Queen is watching such CAC trash) in the other room while I was vibing

I said a "decent" system, not some crappy bookshelf speakers

Usually alone at night or early in the morning through headphones, if it's great then I'll take it to the whip.

In the car...

 

[Last Dayze]

strollin the bricks dolo on some Travis Bickle shyt,watching the busy whirld parade on as the music serves as the soundtrack and eye listenly intently..smoking and noddin my dome

 

[Swiggy]

Headphones, then take it for a long enough walk to feel out the tracks.

Came home damn near in tears from Daughters the other day

 

[Jigsaw2347]

I prefer to just lay down with headphones in and just absorb the music..but I haven't done that in years.

Now I usually just start listening to an album in my car/working out, or I just play while I'm smoking weed. lol
