56 Days

#

Started by RoyBatty (Steve)

As a newer fan, I just finished listening to T? compulsively, exclusively for 56 consecutive days. With so many different sonic textures available, from IL to SPYF, I never felt bored until yesterday, when I listened to Ozzy’s Black Rain (surprisingly unshitty, I felt). Anyone listen to one artist only for an extended period of time? How long?

I do it alot , generally if im going to see a band live , like im going to see Iron Maiden in july and the past two weeks ive only really listened to them and i’ll probably listen to them to death up to the gig. Then afterwards probably wont listen to them for a good while. I generally do this with all my favourite bands then if a new albums out i’ll listen to it and the rest of the bands discography… a vicious cycle lol.

I do this with a lot of bands, specially with Therapy?… I go for weeks without listening to anything from them, then when I start, I have to go through everything a lot of times, then I stop again… and so on…

@Dusty: about listening to the band before seeing them live, I do the EXACT opposite… when the gig is getting near, I don’t listen to anything from the band, not one freakin’ song… then, when I listen to the songs live, it seems they sound even better… there’s a sense of relief, I don’t know how to put it in words, but I like how it feels…

when NIN released the fragile i was also playing through final fantasies VII and VIII and instead of listening to the music on the game i turned the tv down and just listened to the fragile instead. it was quite trippy…ive never quite been the same since.
150 hours of fantasy role playing on a playstation with a nine inch nails soundtrack is quite a detachment from reality. and this blue giraffe has followed me everywhere i go since then

I can only listen to a band on repeat for a month at a time.

Not much to add really.

Definitely. As long as the Maiden listening marathon doesn’t involve Playing With Matches or Magnets, I feel ya.

Heheh. I used to listen to Badmotorfinger ceaselessly, but for 3 years, that’s dedication! ;-)
