How many hours a day do you listen to music?

For me, it comes on when I wake, and only goes off when I sleep. I can't stand the silence without it.
But then, I know people who are the complete opposite.
How about you?

Ranges anywhere from an hour up to nearly all day, music keeps the soul within it's flow.

Depends on how much work or driving I do that day. I listen to it while doing my woodworking and listen to it while doing yardwork or whatever and always have it going while I'm driving. I rarely listen to it outside of that anymore. That usually translates to several hours a day though.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Every waking minute, besides when I'm at work (not allowed to at my current job). I'm like you, I can't stand silence and there's too much great music out there to waste time not listening to it.

What are some of your favorite artists, Asante? Just trying to get a feel for what you listen to. For some reason I feel like you're big on 80s metal?

Depends really. Could be an hour or it could be all day. Cant listen to music at work so I generally do beforehand and when I get home and usually stays on until I go to sleep. Even then I sometimes fall asleep to music.

I'm BIG on 80s metal yes. I was a metal kid.
My first 3 albums were:
Venom - Welcome To Hell Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
What a golden era of music.
I loved the heroics of Manowar, it helped shape my personality.
Metallica, Motörhead, really heavy stuff.
My play list is an incredible variety of styles, from GG Allin to classical to Stryper to Run DMC.
Hardstyle, Trap, Bach, you name it.
I mostly like extreme emotional music.
I like thunder, ferocious emotion and sweet sentiment.

Man, I feel for all you guys that can't listen to music at work. That must fucking suck. I think this desk-bound job of mine would make fucking suicidal if it weren't for the fact that I can play my music out loud all night. Even a headphone in one ear, when the 'normal' people are around, keeps me sane..

I listen to music as much as I can generally, I also try to play as much music as I can but that takes a bit more effort and motivation
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Yeah, I got an office job myself, but my job solely consists of sitting at a desk and listening to garbled as fuck, jargon heavy, out of context dictations from financial advisors/insurance people/legal types and typing them up. It's pretty much the opposite of listening to music. I frequently experience suicidal thoughts at work still probably the best job I've ever had tho.

Nah, it's just that all the other jobs I've ever had were much, much worse, aside from working at my dads record store as a teenager, I'd forgotten about that. That's my actual best job I ever had I only make like $12 an hour but it's the most I've ever made at a job. I'm pretty young though and I've only had 8 or 9 jobs in my life, but they were all bullshit back breaking food service and retail jobs for minimum or less. The other benefit of this job is I can set my own schedule and work as much or as little as I want, which is helpful as I'm a full time college student.
I really hope I find a better job at some point in life. There's a few career fields I plan on exploring but I really can't say for sure that I'll enjoy any of them any more than the other jobs I've had. I've only been working for about 6 or 7 years but I'm already so sick of the fucking grind, makes me depressed that I'll likely have to spend the next 45 years or so of my life slaving away at a meaningless job

I all you shroomery peoples. I knew were all kin.
Music starts shortly after waking up, plays in the car, plays while I'm on the boat to work, plays all day at work, plays when I get home until I go to bed or put on South Park.
That's usually a minimum of 12 hours. Some weeks I get into podcasts, and music consumption goes down.
Music. Ahhhhhhh

That's pretty much my schedule exactly, only exchange car+boat with bike, and Southpark with Archer.
What's your current genre mnj? Or is it always mixed?

Just wanted to share a major conclusion in my life with you in case it helps with your decision when time comes hex;
At the end of this year I will have been working for 18 years without a break of more than a month. I've easily worked 30+ jobs, all the way from bin man to high level banking support. The first 9 years were all spent working on my feet - the next 9 were all spent sitting on my ass behind a desk in a corporate nightmare of an environment.
The latter has become a kind of living hell to me. I can feel its effects on my body, and they aint good. I swear to fuck, once I'm outa here, I hope never to work on my ass again. It might suit some people, but most people I know who do it clearly hate it, whether they're open about it or not.
Some career paths have that as an unavoidable outcome in their future. Just something to consider...

whenever I have downtime, I am almost always listening to music while posting on the shroomery, sometimes when i'm trying to wake up I get my phone and turn on some tunes, just laying there for a few minutes trying to wake up, when I make food I listen to music, sometimes when I used the restroom/shower
I think it ranges from 2-10 hours a day, 2 minimum per day

Jokeshopbeard, I've been heavy on trance and far-out psych rock lately.
I'm going to a psytrance fest and have been digging some DJ sets on SoundCloud. Trance feels like it saved my life, even though I didn't know I needed it; I've a deep connection there.
For psych rock I've been listening to my Wooden Shjips Pandora station. My favorite artists to come up on this station are, of course, my introduction to psych rock, Wooden Shjips, Brian Jones town Massacre, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Black Angels, Earthless, Moon Duo, Sun Dial, Dead Meadow, in no particular order.
And I feel you on the outdoor/indoor work dichotomy. I'm fortunate to have found a job in the hospitality industry that combines computer work, physical work, customer service, and improvisation. Its engaging, and I feel so fortunate to have an idea of the type of work I really dig. I hope we all find our niche
cheers, pubbers

The only time I listen to music is when I walk. Other than that, never. I love silence.
But because of this thread! Ima listen to some Metallica.

Fuckin' Amen to that man. There's definitely been a couple of periods in my life recently where things have got so bad that music is one of the very few things that have kept me going.
Finding Drum & Bass all over again the last few months has been like refinding my childhood sweetheart and falling in love all over again, but even deeper than the first time...

Almost 24/7. I listen throughout the day, pretty much no matter what I'm doing. I almost always have at last one ear bud in, and the rest of the time I have music playing in the background. I even listen to it as I fall asleep and it's still playing when I wake up. And when music isn't actually playing, I have one song or another in my head.
Music is my life. It flows through my blood stream. I would be crazy without it.

I have a very eclectic interest in music. I listen to pretty much every genre. It's just that whatever mood I'm in at that particular time determines what I listen to. It changes with my mood.

Ahh, the rediscovery period, JSB. Always with more understanding the second time around.
I caught this dude at a festival. https://m.soundcloud.com/andreilien I really dug his d&b style. Have moved away from it recently, but really like the sounds and textures he uses.

Psychedelic rock gets my vote as one of the greatest things ever, right alongside funk and jazz 
Just found earthless out the other day but haven't listened to a ton of them yet. Seems solid though, you are missing a lot of essential classics though:
Pink Floyd, Nektar, Camel, Yes, Caravan, and Hawkwind all come to mind in no particular order but there is a ton of stuff I am too stoned to remember
