The Not-Friday Five
Maybe somewhere along the way sometimes I can maybe do the Friday Five. Consider this the Tuesday Five. This is from fiveonfridays.com. And I’m starting easy. I started another one, but it was hard to do right now. Too much thinking…
Feel free to join in if you want!
1. How often do you listen to music?
2. Do you ever listen to the radio? What is your favorite station?
3. How do you find new songs, albums, or artists to listen to?
4. When was the last time you bought a CD? A digital music file?
5. Do you think any of the technologies and distribution methods mentioned above will still be around in ten years? Why or why not?
1. I listen to music at least once a day. Always in the shower, often when I drive. If I’ve got stuff to think about, I’ll listen to some sort of talk radio–those voices can drown out my own!
2. I’m almost embarassed to admit I listen to 94.7 in Austin. Mainly for the morning show. Hate to admit that, too. Not a big fan of the other ones around here. Good dose of sorta news, what’s going on around Austin, enough fake news (celebrity, etc) to get through lunch converstaions. I also admit to listening to Dr. Laura when I can. She’s like a train wreck. Can’t help but listen sometimes. And, yes, even NPR too.
3. Find suggestions from friends, look to see what they’re listening to on blogs, listen to references that people make, find songs on soundtracks from movies and TV.
4. Last time I bought a CD? Hmm…can’t even remember. I remember buying the new Jack Johnson the day it came out, but I don’t remember if there was something since then or not. I bought all 3 seasons of Weeds soundtracks on iTunes. I just synced my podcasts, too. But those aren’t music.
5. I kinda wonder if CDs could be on their way out. I remember when TAPES came out, or were more popular. And now cool were they that they were so much more clear than a record, they didn’t skip and so on. Now those are almost obsolte. I don’t know about the digital stuff, but I wonder if CDs will become like tapes.

Don’t have time to answer all the questions but I will say satellite radio is the greatest invention since sliced bread. It’s all I listen to anymore. In the car. In the house. In my office. And currently one channel is “30 days of Coldplay”. All coldplay, all day.
And now that XM and Sirius are merging, it should only get better.
My 2 cents
