Listening VS Reading

Ballan
- yes I'm talkin' about time spent reading anything audio related vs time spent just listening to your gear. I'm sure most of us have the music flowing while we surf the audio sites but this thread counts that as reading.
The Thread defines "Listening" as - fairly to really loud volume, dark room, eyes shut and probably some kind of mild intoxicant.

- "5% %#!$%ing" that's 72 minutes a day, c'mon man you can do better than that.

- Please read the more clearly defined question and the Thread shall grant you a do-over. Since it's the long weekend you have until Tuesday!

Well, someone seems to have left something out. Listening/Reading/Sex.

Sex? I have heard of this phenomenon. Though it is something I only vaguely remember from my earlier years. Heavy snogging... sweaty grunting.. bouncing up and down.. Yelling,... Jeez.
So, clearly for me that part is now zero, and no interest in finding any more of it either. Jeez. Yuck!
As for music. approximately 85% of waking time is listening to music.

Just what is the aspiration of this facinating query of yours?Inquiring minds want to know.

Hmmmm.... it sounds like there sure were some problems. Are you sure it was sex, or was it that the music itself was bad instead?? ;-))

= = == = = = = = =

Music for me is more the dedicated event. Casual or background listening for myself can be any noise. TV... News.... some TV info shows like you'll see on PBS, DISC, TLC, Smithsonian, History, etc.

Normally I have one of those on in the background, unless it's time to dig some music.

the only music I'll play for background or atmosphere is tied to entertaining, dining, dating, or intimate convos. When or IF it becomes time to get busy... I'll kill the music. it plays only when or if, 'she' wants it on.

A very very, small percentage of the time, I'll have some classical playing in the background when doing anything requiring real focus.

I guess I can ignore TV better than I can ignore music.
