Not a problem for me. I rarely listen to music anymore. I go weeks or months without listening to anything.

By this I mean, me putting on a cd or something to listen too. Obviously, when I am outside, I am forced to hear other peoples music blasting from their cars, or the backround music at the store and at places to eat etc.

When I do listen to the radio, I listen to talk radio, or some prerecorded lectures, discussions or debates. I much rather hear people talk and get their idea's on things. I feel that this expands your consciousness gives you a greater sense of awareness to life, in a way that music will never be able to do.

I know that may sound lame to most of you, but I feel like 90% of music today sucks anyway.

I think I like this guy.
 

lmfao!!!!!

i hate so much talkie-kind programs -exept for very rare cases. I'd rather listen to music -not all genres- than hearing crap from more stupid people than me.

anyway.... I'd prefer SILENCE whatsoever.

myes, get drummond's book called "45". it has that story in full.
as it happens, they stacked the cans into a cube and put them on the back of a flat-bed lorry. they mostly fell off the lorry and went everywhere, but the rest went to the homeless.

actually, i think it's fantastic, because i listen to talk radio for that reason too.

anyway, while it was too late that day to actually do it (i start the music at around 7am) i think to do it and his suggestions on what to do that day are really great

i'll try to keep it in mind next year.

You know its funny be SHEER chance i left my portable music listening devices at home this morning.

Which left me rather agitated, and forced me to start humming shit to myself on the way home. I'm a total music junkie and can't survive without some sort of musical input. Lo and behold I began to imagine the sorts of things i WANTED to hear. So it works.

That said I'm not sure I'm about to put myself through that again. I need my crack fix! First thing i did when I came home was throw the headphones on and rock out.
