Do you listen to music when you're at home?

Do you listen to music when you’re at home?

I sometimes listen to the TV music channel when I’m cleaning (which is not too often LOL). I usually only listen to music in the car. Recently I got the Google Home and now I listen at home more often.

What about you? Do you like silence or do you like to have music on?

I don’t really watch TV, it’s rare for my television to be on when we are at home. I use the internet and music more often. I like Spotify and Pandora when I am at home and I use satellite radio in my current car.

Frequently. Usually Pandora, or if I want something specific u-tube.

If I’m working on a house project I do. I just set the TV to 70’s music…and get shocked at how many songs I’d forgotten! Other than that, if I’m on the computer, I just YouTube what ever I think of.
I seemed to be more attached to music as a teen and into my early 20’s than I am now.

I don’t like complete silence and I like the sound of the wind in the trees, or birdsong, or the sound of flowing water and I like music. I listen to music most days. I listen to music when I am doing the ironing or reading and I am listening to music right now.

Frequently, usually things I have recorded or style specific like Delta Blues, R&B, Classic Rock etc. Depends on my mood.
As I am typing this I am listening to Dropkick Murphy. Started with “Green Fields of France” and am letting it play at random from there.

Yes, I do. Especially on the boat out at sea. When I’m arriving at an international raft-up, I usually play something quite tribal over the PA system. It can get pretty loud. It rattles the hardware on the deck. Good woofers. The mate and I have a slight difference of opinion on listening music due to an age difference, so one must be tolerant as we both spend time on the boat in close quarters. I have learned I like certain genres I’d never heard before and she has as well. We both enjoy and have contributed to the tribal thing, though, when arriving at the raft-ups.

Yep, depending on what we’re doing, the method will change.

For cleaning the house, I’ve got the computer speakers going in the back of the house and the TV in the front with Google Play, Pandora, YoutubeRed or Amazon Prime Music (a few family members and I share accounts so we can all choose). If I want something specific I’ve got about 250 gigs of music to choose from on my hard drive.

For “chilling out at home”, we’ve usually got the record player going with whatever we’re in the mood for on. There’s been a lot of Deep Purple lately.

I was just going through my Renn Faire costumes for this season and had some new-agey random station playing on Google Play. It was nice.

I pretty much live and breathe to CBC radio. Have done for decades. My preference is for science talk radio but I’ll listen to whatever they’ve got on offer, even opera. I’m a snob about original instruments when it comes to baroque and early music so I will briefly listen to music from other sources if the CBC dares offer early music performed on modern instruments.

The radio is rarely off if I’m awake and in the house. The radio in the bathroom is set to the CBC and wired to the light switch.

Pandora is the bomb.

I may have my iPod on at home when I am working outside, or doing a jugsaw puzzle. I also play big band music (dish 6073), or jazz.
My internet connection is awful, so I can’t play my pandora station, which I miss. Last time I checked, it had 2 million subscribers.

Any time I am in the kitchen for a while, I need to have music playing. It is either a favorite CD or Pandora which I now play through Alexa.

Youtube is a good friend of mine.

I’m at home often, especially during the exam term (which can last for a month). I listen to music when I’m studying, usually to block the outside noise. Music is a must while cleaning.

Home is pretty much the only place where I listen to music, as anywhere else and I’m just too occupied to pay attention to the music (and I value music too much to reduce it to background filler).

At the moment I’m listening to William Basinski – The Deluge (Live at Issue Project Room).

(Basinski’s a particular favorite of mine.)

Local FM sometimes, satellite sometimes, cable music channel infrequently, play my own musical instrument sometimes.

I rarely put on music myself. I used to, years ago, but now when I’m not in the mood for TV, I’m more apt to want silence.

My husband likes to put on the music channels on the TV, so when he’s in the mood I am listening to it by default. The oldies but goodies station is pretty good. I like singing along with it. My husband only knows about one in ten songs.

Mostly on the weekends when I sit out on the deck and have coffee we will put a blues station on the speakers outside. Comcast has one of the best blues stations I have ever found and best part is no commercials like Pandora does.

Not at home but on my iPod if I’m in the car.

Yes. I often listen to music when I’m outside near the pool. I also often play music in the background while I work, although I’ll tend to just play a radio station that plays music that won’t distract me.
