Getting into music again!!! 2025-11-11

• 2025-11-11
• Ok so making Albums I loved per era has really highlighted how I listen to so much less new music than I used to
• Partly due to pivoting to podcasts and youtube videos, partly due to not having a car anymore, partly due to not watching Anthony Fantano anymore… etc
• I am now in this era → Era 25 - EA Hotel round 3 - albums

When to listen to music?

• The problem is:
  1. I find it hard to work whilst listening to music
  2. I go to the gym with a friend, so I don’t listen to music then
  3. I don’t drive anywhere
• What about
  1. A daily music walk, in the eve? 👀
     • I do find that music + walking is way worse than music + driving, but fuck it, gotta do something innit
     • I miss driving to work so much, perfect time to listen and sing along, smh
  2. Listening whilst writing song reviews?
     • E.g. make a page for the album, write up some thoughts etc
  • Ways to interact with music more
    1. Making playlists?
       • Making a load of playlists. Dance playlists. Vibe playlists, etc. Mixtapes…
    2. Learning to DJ? Attila has a DJ deck here 👀 👀
       • DJing
    3. Dancing more?
• ChatGPT - how to listen to music more → fed it the above
