If I weren't tied to a desk, I'd stop listening to podcasts altogether.

I'd enjoy the music I listen to more if I weren't working while listening to it.

I miss listening to podcasts and audiobooks. When I joined here, I worked at a job where I didn't have to really interact with anyone, just processed thousands of scanned documents per day. Now I work for the state and have clients (so walk-ins, phone calls, emails, etc).

The rabbit hole is a big one for me.
I probably only listen to FM radio a few times a year and it's a station that plays 90's alternative and weird folky stuff.
I have no idea what top 40 radio sounds like. If it weren't for the stupid tabloid blurbs on the internet, I wouldn't have any idea who those artists are.

I've been a Rhapsody (now rebranded as Napster) subscriber for almost a decade.
Whenever I hear about a national touring band playing nearby, I give them a listen on Napster.
If I like them, I click on the similar artists tab and give those a listen, then the similar artists on those artist pages.
A few of the bands I'd like to see live disbanded years ago. :lol :'(

I also end up giving more things a chance because I don't have to financially invest in their album to listen to it.

Was invited to see Nels Cline a few weeks ago (wasn't familiar with his music).
Ran into a guy I knew there who said most people were there to see the keyboardist, who I'd also never heard of.
Next thing you know I'm listening to acid jazz. (Medeski, Martin, & Wood)

Going to see Pavlo Simtikidis tomorrow and John 5 on Sunday.
Hopefully John 5 gets me out of this weird easy listening vibe I've had going on for the past few weeks.

Sounds a lot like me. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for new music and thanks to Spotify I've found a ton of it over the last few years. I find a band I like and then go to the "Fans Also Like" tab and start listening to those bands. I can't get enough. Even if 9/10 aren't albums or bands I will go back to regularly, it is worth it for the 1/10 that I end up loving. I just discovered Turnover a few months ago and I can't get enough of their 2 latest albums. Last year it was The War On Drugs. So many bands and so little time.

In concert news, I may be continuing my pop punk showgoing next summer... Twenty-One Pilots will be in NJ in June and my daughter wants to go soooooo.....

My son brought me to see 311 at Red Rocks in Colorado. This was last April, also playing was Method Man, Redman and Prof.

First time seeing 311, love their music and the show was great. They are all business when playing, I mean it sounds dang near like the studio version.

As a lifelong fan of Jeff Lynne and ELO I'm extremely pumped that we have tickets for their tour this summer. They toured last year and I completely missed out on it. Here is the list of dates in case anyone else is interested.

Going to miss Tommy Chong...
