Didn't even have to listen to the song (I did) to know it was a 9.7/10.

Thinks that I think he thinks I don't have a spinning avatar. Thinks.

I found out the warranty on my failing laptop is still valid, so no end of the world stuff here fortunately.

Thinks I'm Russian. (Victory is mine!)

I pretty much treat listening to music as two separate activities.

There is passive listening, which takes place alongside other activities such as walking, cleaning, gaming etc.  I'll just stick my ipod on shuffle for this.  Then there is active listening, which is when I turn off the light, light up a joint, crack out the vinyl and immerse.  That is the point when I appreciate a proper album or symphony.  Pink Floyd and Hawkwind are probably the best example of bands that put out consistently great albums IMO.

2nded, minus the joint (although If I had any friends who smoked I'd probably be in the same boat). I find that this is how I discover if an album's good or not. I might download and listen to something while playing a game or something and pass it off. Then some time later I'll listen to it again while in the car or doing mindless chores at work and think it's fantastic. Come to think of it, I do the majority of my "serious" listening while in the car.

When I rarely buy music, I buy it as a collector; I want to read through the little booklets and look at the album art art and marvel at all the other little goodies they sometimes put in there depending on what you buy. ^{_{And of course listen to the music...}} I mean come on, who buys a single song except for the musically oblivious 8th grader? And who releases singles anyway besides shitty pop musicians.

Pretentiousness aside, I wouldn't buy an album if it had more than a few downright bad songs on it. So far I've only bought albums I can enjoy all the way through.

I was at work one day and decided to cave into a co-worker's pressure and try some stupid energy drink. I think it was... hell I don't even remember, but it made me throw up...

There's probably trace amounts of cocaine on it too.
