Do you combine music listening with other activities?
 

Do you, for instance, read a paper or a book while listening to a record, radio blah blah blah etc? I've always tended to read fashion magazines or the sort of celebrity trash that you get on Sunday papers supplements etc. I can't read a book with any music in the background, but washing and cleaning comes easier with the radio on. Louder music is generally for the vacuuming and DIY.

I always listen to music when I'm driving and when I'm cooking. Sometimes when I'm reading too, but it depends which room I'm in.

Doing tedious homework (I'm sure it undermines my memory somehow). Cleaning dishes. Driving the car alone. Long bus rides alone. Making dinner.

Those for the most part. Never while reading, though I can, unless it is an attention-demanding read.

I can't read a book and listen to music either.
I like to page through magazines while listening to noise.
When I work alone, I tend to listen to the more mellow side of classical and jazz. Stuff like Scriabin, Dvorák, Mahler, Liszt, Chet Baker, Mingus, Coltrane.
I don't like to hear music in elevators, shops, dentist/doctor waiting rooms or mobile phones in public.
For hard labor I normally listen to up-tempo music and in my car I want to get the feeling that I'm cruising.

If I'm reading, the only music I can listen to is something I don't really have to concentrate on while listening to - something I enjoy and know won't require my full attention. So, Daydream Nation, Psychocandy or You're Just Too Obscure For Me...(The Verlaines) are good to listen to. If I was listening to something I hadn't heard before, I would have to concentrate.
But I always listen to something while going to sleep at night.

I can read a book while I'm listening to music, but the music must be instrumental and mellow, otherwise it distracts me from the text. For the past couple of days, the typical evening for me was lying in bed listening to Rameses III and reading Murakami's "Dance Dance Dance" while my girlfriend lied next to me reading her beloved Agatha Christie detective story. A nice and peaceful type of evening.

i can barely do anything without music. only studying i dont usually listen to music, but someties i do. i can barely function otherwise without it

Yes.

reading, biking, working out, making music, driving, i listen to music constantly.

I can't read and listen at the same time.
Biking and music are great together, and I really don't care if it's dangerous or not.

cooking, cleaning house, smoking the inevitable joint, exactly the next three thngs i am about to do but in reverse order....

The other week I've shaved my head while listening to La Monte Young. The combination of clipper machine buzz and sustained drone was awesome.

I listen to music when reading and when browsing the internet.

i even listen to music when i'm watching tv.

driving, cleaning, studying, sitting around, pacing around my house while i'm having nervous thoughts, in the shower etc. i can't listen to music while reading. unless it's a magazine.

Read, usually, or gash about on the interhate.

Sleeping, dishwashing, this...

walk, comp, sleep.

its basically everything i ever do.

i am a lifeless bastard.

Wanking.

i wanked to kim gordon's voice last night.

other than that, its a turnoff wanking to music with guys singing. other than punk and like, lame hard rock like survivor.

It depends on the velocity that I apply to my hand movement. If I have a light wank, it will be something like Fairport Convention. If, on the other hand, I want something aggressive, I'll go for Motorhead. Don't try noise-wanking at home, or you'll end up with nasty bruises on your cock.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH



genious.


simply genious.


you've out done yourself!


good suggestiong for motorhead!

Did you ever try swapping hands while you were having a wank? Painful Buzzo, seriously painful. It gave me cramps left, right and centre.

not really, i like it when i swap hands and the other is cold so that i cant feel it. feels like someone else is wanking me off then.

Does that mean that you listen to music while a ghost is wanking you off? Well done, chap.

lol, whered you realise that?

i meant like, not while listening to music..


but it would be as cools as hell if a ghost wanked me off.

like in that scary movie part 2 when that ghost puts his penis in the womans mouth while sleeping.

Cooking
Washing dishes
Lonesome bus rides / walks home
Surfing the internet

and

I usually have a record on if I'm hanging out with people. Usually something relaxing and pretty.

I listen to music all the time in the car, but that's about it. If I wanna listen to some music I tend to focus on it instead of just playing it on the background...

Oh wait, I listen to MBV when I'm stoned. Highly recommended!

Everything but reading, watching TV, or playing my own music.

i constantly have a record on. i can't stand quiet. i listen to records when i bathe.

i'm doing sign language while i'm listening to music right now.

i listen to music while listening to music.

I listen to music while consuming copous amounts of drugs.
