I know exactly what you mean, Adam. I, of course, am a music fanatic,
but my boyfriend is even more so. He has a system of listening to all
our new music whereby he will select about 10 CD's for the "listening
pile" and randomize the tracks, writing a 1-2 line review for each track
after hearing it once. Then he will have to go back and read what he
wrote about each track to find the ones he liked (stand-out tracks
specially marked)!
I, on the other hand, pick two or three CD's and listen to them in full
over and over (usually in my car) until I know them well. I've always
done that because --like you-- I was only able to buy perhaps 1 CD per
month and I knew them intimately.
So he's heard a lot more than me... but I eventually know certain albums
better :-) He can't understand how I can listen to a full CD, then when
it's over, listen to it again from the beginning! Mind you, he listens
in depth because he needs to hear everything the first time so that he
can describe the music. I get an overall sense of the track the first
time I hear it, and then on each succesive listening I hear more and
more into it.
But anyway, now *I'm* rambling! Bye now.... must get back to work.
Music intimacy is goood.

That's all - just a short apology for writing in so
much lengthy stuff in the past 20-30 minutes. It
wasn't all that necessary as I sorta kept repeating
myself, so, I'm sorry :/
