Music, what are you doing while listening?

[chaosyoshimage]

Everything except when I'm watching/playing something or sleeping unless I'm playing my GBA Sp which doesn't support regular headphones and has a crappy speaker (Not broken though like my old DS's). I prefer to tune out the world, it helps prevent my constant headaches and helps me concentrate. I do take them off from time to time in stores, but I've been wearing them more often. I'm kind of an introvert most of the time...

Singing along if it has lyrics. It's almost a compulsion; if I don't know the lyrics I WILL google them. Which is why I try not to do things like writing or reading while I listen to music with lyrics. Cycling, cleaning, walking, farting about on the internet however is a go!

 

[BabyRaptor]

Anything and everything. I'm one of those people who always has music on...Even in the shower.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Writing, gaming, chatting online, reading a book...

However, when I'm out to enjoy music and make it the center of my attention; I crank it up, lie back on my bed and close my eyes.

If I'm not specifically listening to music, I always have it on in the background, or at the very least in my head.

 

[Korak the Mad]

I listen to music whenever I need to focus on something, such as writing and drawing. The music I usually listen to a videogame remixes.

I can concentrate better with music, so everytime I'm sitting over some equations and stuff I listen to music - some time ago it had to be classic, at the moment I'm listening to asian music of every genre

 

[Diablo2000]

Walking... Listen to music while walk helps me think.

 

[Dark Knifer]

When I travel, in a car or walking etc. I sometimes listen at home while browsing the internet but usually I get caught up in the music and just air guitar/drum/sing and forget what I was doing.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Doing homework, travelling in a car or on a train/tram, even just walking around... Basically, whenever I get a chance, I'll be listening to music, unless I'm doing whatever it is that I'm doing with friends who I can talk to. ^_^

If I'm playing a game for fun, occasionally I'll put on some music to go with it. But for the most part, playing games is one of the few things where I don't often listen to music as well. Especially if it's a competition match, when I don't want anything distracting me...

 

[Dango]

I listen to music pretty much all the time, whenever I can, so there isn't much I don't do when I'm listening.

 

[The Wykydtron]

While on my laptop i usually put some music on (usually something Persona 4 related) unless i'm actually watching something (like my stupid backlog of anime and manga, seriously why am i rewatching Umineko? I have way too much of a backlog to be doing that!)

Can't stand listening to music while playing games though, especially if said game has a good soundtrack

 

[ScrubberDucky]

When writing, I tend to listen to music that evokes strong emotion in me. Last time I wrote a short story, I was listening to Genesis's "Mama", and The Who's "Baba O'Reily" repeatedly. Sounds annoying, but it works really well.

Before going to practice guitar, I'll often have just listened to a band before whose guitar (or vocal) parts make me stamp my feet and say "Damn it, I want to be that good!" It can be anywhere from Dream Theater's head-crushingly amazing In The Name Of God or Marillion's beautiful Somewhere Else.

 

[The Code]

Usually, I'm ignoring the world when trying to concentrate on something. In-ear headphones are good for that sort of thing.I also listen to the Build Mode music from The Sims 1 when doing my homework for my Japanese 102 course. What? It's really good music.

That's... kind of backwards, but still kind of cool sounding. The Zonlow. Sounds like a weird pro wrestler name.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

i cant do a decent workout these days without music.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Usually it's during a car ride to pass time or while playing a game to make it more badass.

 

[PleaseDele]

There's two options.

When I use it for a bit of background tunes I might do just about anything.
Listening to a new album/discovering a band? Smoke and a coffee. Nothing more, nothing less. Well... sometimes reading lyrics.

That's about it

 

[DJDarque]

I listen to music while doing everything except gaming and reading for enjoyment.
