11.05.10 | I'm looking forward to further doubling my count before the year is out.

acorncheese
11.05.10 | I honestly listen to no more than fifteen normally. Blows my mind to see people post lists with over fifty albums. Makes me question whether or not they really KNOW each album. |
coneren
11.05.10 | no fucking idea |
luci
11.05.10 | well i heard about a hundred albums released this year ... so above that lol |
Josh D.
11.05.10 | How the hell would I know how many albums I listen to in a fucking year. |
pizzamachine
11.05.10 | Maybe around 100. |
Irving
11.05.10 | Yeah, some people can get by an album with only five listens. If it's good, I'm not satisfied till I spin it fifty, sixty times lol. |
Irving
11.05.10 | @ Josh D. - Well, I was wondering if there are those - like me - who keep track. You don't, but thanks for stopping by anyway! |
acorncheese
11.05.10 | Same here |
Jebull
11.05.10 | Way too many.. I know that much! |
Josh D.
11.05.10 | "@ Josh D. - Well, I was wondering if there are those - like me - who keep track. You don't, but thanks for stopping by anyway"
Yeah, I keep a tally on my bedroom wall with Crayons every time I listen to an album. I organize the albums by years. I've got the last 6 years all over my wall. |
whywontyoudie
11.05.10 | any year before this, probably 5-10. this year, at least 35. actually, that's just the last 6 months. probably be up to 45 by the end of the year. |
Irving
11.05.10 | Sounds like you got a count-the-days-I've-been-in-prison thing going on there Josh D. |
accompliceofmydeath
11.05.10 | I would say at least 250+ |
Josh D.
11.05.10 | It's more like Tom Hanks in Castaway than prison really. |
DENEpants
11.05.10 | yeah a shit ton. in the past week its been like 10-15 and this summer i had a dry spell so idk. |
Butkuiss
11.05.10 | I listen to 1-3 a week. Times fifty-two for a year. |
jingledeath
11.05.10 | last year i had a little more than 150, this year i think i might go 250+ |
Irving
11.05.10 | "It's more like Tom Hanks in Castaway than prison really."
Yeah I was actually trying to recall the title of that movie but couldn't ahahaha. |
SpottedTrout
11.05.10 | pre sputnik i listened to maybe 10 or 15 a year tops. Now its close to 100 |
Irving
11.05.10 | Yeah Sputnik tends to do that to you hahahhaha. |
Edwin
11.05.10 | Probably a new album every few days so maybe 100 in a year. |
JWT155
11.05.10 | Probably gonna be around 150 on my iTunes by the end of the year, another 15-30 I streamed but I didn't think were worth getting. |
PuddlesPuddles
11.05.10 | I thought this was going to say "per day"
per day I'd say maybe 3, maybe 2 depending on the day.
per year? Well....I'd guess, hell, 250 give or take? |
couldwinarabbit
11.05.10 | 200 but probably only 60 of those get more than 5 listens each.
@JWT all the albums you would listen to would suck : ) |
JWT155
11.05.10 | And I was just referring to albums that just came out in 2010, probably 300+ for everything I checked
out in the year and that still is only including new stuff to my iTunes.
Rabbit - I listened to a lot of Radiohead today, guess they blow cock now... |
Deviant.
11.05.10 | I'm in the lucky position where I can listen to music at work, so that's a solid 8-10 hours a day, can't be arsed doing the math but it works out to a lot |
acorncheese
11.05.10 | ^ Your ears are fucked |
TMobotron
11.05.10 | 250 a year is fucking insane, though i listen to a lot more than i used to now |
acorncheese
11.05.10 | I was also referring to how many NEW albums I listen to in a year. If it's just albums in general, then no less than 35. |
Ire
11.05.10 | i get about 25-35 in a month now |
couldwinarabbit
11.05.10 | @JWT you do remember we are spuntik rivals right? |
Ire
11.05.10 | chambered69ing |
liledman
11.05.10 | think ive rated 250 - 300 this year, been slowly building up to that rate each year but this year has been much bigger. |
Urinetrouble
11.05.10 | by the amount iv downloaded this year, i'd say 100-125 |
Irving
11.05.10 | Deviant - what do you work as, if you don't mind my asking? |
DrGunther
11.05.10 | According to my Itunes, about 70 (not including the 20 or so I've deleted that I didn't like after a few listens). Always listen to them a good 4/5 times as minimum, if not can't see the point having them, unless you're 'completing the whole set' of a favourite artist.
I'm another one that listens to albums pretty much all day at work. It beats the fucking soul-destroying silence of an IT department. |
BigHans
11.05.10 | I have a job where I can listen all day. I have a second job where i can listen throughout the entire shift. I play Madden alot, and always listen. I always listen in the car. So, probably something like 1000 a year. |
alachlahol
11.05.10 | um 1000 albums a year would probably place you entirely outside the bounds of social interaction. i don't think you're even close to that. an upper-echelon listener probably busts out 500-600 new albums a year |
feav233
11.05.10 | i have dl and listened to almost 300 new albums this year |
accompliceofmydeath
11.05.10 | @alachlahol: that's only about 3 per day. That's really not that unrealistic. |
DrGunther
11.05.10 | Does anyone else wonder if they'll ever run out of old albums to explore? I mean, you'll always find something weird and obscure in all genres, but some of you must get to a point where you're finding it hard to find stuff you genuinely like. If you're adding 500 albums a year! Fuck's sake, I only have about 550 albums in total and that's been built up for me over a long time, although probably only 100 in the pre-internet days....must seem like the dark ages to those who can't remember pre-1995 or so. |
BigHans
11.05.10 | alachlahol, at my first job I work an 8 hour shift where most days I could literally listen the entire time. SOmetimes I actually do. My second job is a 4 hour shift I work twice a week where I can listen the entire time, and I ahve another shift whree Im in the car most of the time, where I always listen. I have a 20 minute drive to work, I always listen there. 3 albums a day average is not hard to do. |
McCopper
11.05.10 | At least 400 I think.At least for 2010 that is.
|
SlightlyEpic
11.05.10 | i am in alachlahol's upper echelon |
alachlahol
11.05.10 | Hans this guy is asking how many albums you listen to a year that you haven't heard previously, not just how many albums you listen to a year. if you're pumping out 21 new albums a week on top of the shit you normally listen to, you will have no time for anything outside of music |
SlightlyEpic
11.05.10 | yeah but not all those are gonna be new albums every single time hans |
BigHans
11.05.10 | oh, well then its probably like 200 or something. |
alachlahol
11.05.10 | i have around 150 albums from 2010 not counting the fuckloads of splits and EP's there are floating around. not sure where i am if i count albums prior to 2010 but it would be a lot more than i want to think about |
SlightlyEpic
11.05.10 | listened to about 250 albums from 2010 |
alachlahol
11.05.10 | LPs? |
alachlahol
11.05.10 | actually that sounds about right at the rate you gobble up stuff |

Also, you guys make me jealous - I feel so inexperienced haha! |
Cavs
11.06.10 | umm I listen to a new album almost every day... |
bailar14
11.06.10 | a fuck ton |
Parallels
11.06.10 | i did tha math, i listen to about 120 albums a year or so, give or take. |
luci
11.06.10 | According to my Itunes I usually listen to about 7 to 8 hours of music a day. |
Emim
11.06.10 | Probably about a billion |
