kripke Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ever get that thing where you dig out an old CD for the car or whatever, and you get to a track you like so much that you play it again...and then again...and again...and then you realise you've spent an hour, or several consecutive short trips over a few days, listening to the same song? This happens to me all the time, idk maybe I have a high boredom threshold, but the other day I wanted something loud & earthy for the trip to the supermarket, so I grabbed Louder Than Love. When the brutality of Ugly Truth kicked in, I thought that was just great...but I knew what I really wanted to hear, and sure enough, it soon arrived. And so, for the past 4 days now, I've listened solely to Hands All Over, at max volume, screaming along to every single word. Does this seem strange, or do others experience this occasional extreme devotion? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB3X2UnEIsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janvier Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Probably Landslide by Fleetwood Mac, though it's a bit sad, I like sadness and melancholy in music, upbeat tunes are also OK at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) When My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" album came out in 1991, I was naturally knocked out by the whole album, but when I got to the track "Come In Alone", I had to hear it over and over.

TypeO Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) I don't think I could list them all. I think it began when I was very young, maybe 6 or 7 and I had a portable stereo turntable. I would sit it on my bed and play a 45 of Bent Fabric's Alley Cat. I left the arm up so that ith would return to the start on its own. I would literally lay on my bed for hours listening to it over and over. So now, I obsess on single CDs and even single songs very easily. Ask my co-workers how much I liked Amy Winehouse a few years back when I "discovered" her (long after everyone else, to be sure). That's part of the reason I have to use headphone/earbuds in the office now, LOL. I think the craziest of all was when I used to work all-nighters to get the magazine finished in time for deadline, and I was the only one in the office all night. I would rock my computer speakers as loud as I wanted, as the building was almost deserted, and I have a fairly decent little setup, including a sub. Once, I was really stuck on Beyond The Universe from 1977's Derringer Live, which is about 7 minutes long. But it was a particular 30-second stretch of the solo that I've always loved, and had gone into my obsession mode on. So, naturally, I saved the 30-second section of the solo as a separate mp3, and let it play on my Windows Media player on repeat for the entire night, easily 12 hours straight. 12 hours x 60 minutes = 720 minutes, which would be roughly 1,440 plays throughout the night. I was on adipex (phertermine) for weight-loss at the time, which only increases my focus and obssessive tendencies. If you're curious, here's the 30-second snippet I so adore. http://www.bsharpergraphics.com/BeyondTheUniverse_Solo.mp3 Edited March 15, 2013 by TypeO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypeO Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Now we're moving to interesting territory...obsessing over parts of songs. I have a couple of those myself...I'd be interested to hear your 30-sec thing TypeO, but unfortunately the link's not working for me. Can you give me a start-point and I'll go check it on YT. OK, I updated the link - the original in my post should work now. Here it is - updated. http://www.bsharpergraphics.com/BeyondTheUniverse_Solo.mp3 This is the full song I uploaded to YouTube a while back. The part in question begins at around 5:25 or so.

TypeO Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That's pretty cool. I might even have heard it live, cos I saw him supporting Frampton at Landover in 1977, and was very impressed but never got around to buying his live album. However, I did DL it awhile back, so I must check it out. Cheers for the reminder! Yeah, that '77 Derringer Live is a fantastic live album. It's where I first heard what became his standard line for playing Rock 'N Roll Hootchie-Koo - I wish we could play all night long for you guys, but we only got time for ONE... MORE... SONG!!! I also love where he transitions into You Really Got Me in the middle of his solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepmad-dude Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Bron-Yr-Aur. It sounds as magical to my ears today as it did when I first heard it 32 years ago. Never gets boring. I play it at least once every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have never played the same track 3 times in a row - 2 times is the max for me, my mind starts to wonder and I find the whole experience mind numbing and boring, and I need another song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
