The SHites are at it again, this time worrying over how they should choose which music to listen to, and NO ONE parties like Terrapin Station who has this system figured out:
“No time, really. I listen systematically. I select artists. My system is partially by rotations, partially random. For the random part I literally use a random number generator to select an artist (I use the random.org site). Once the artist is selected, I listen to the next album in that artist's discography in chronological order--I keep track of the last album I listened to. I have Excel documents for all of the releases in my collection, all of the artists in my collection, etc.
Other than that, some listening is via song shuffle, and then there's stuff I need to listen to as a musician, because of a gig or something I'm working on.
It's rather rare that I listen to anything by whim. I do that every once in awhile, though, and I certainly want to play friends, family, musicians I'm working with, etc. specific things at times, but in those cases, I only play something after I have a need or urge re exactly what to play.
Aside from obviously being a bit OCD in some ways, I developed the system I have primarily in order to learn as much music as I can and to ensure maximum variety, because I get burned out on any music if I hear it too often.”
