Listening

When you listen to music do you do other things, like read, exercise, work on a project, etc., or do you sit in the sweet spot and concentrate on the music playing?

Do you find you enjoy the music more when concentrating on it than you do when not? Or do you let the music wash over you as background sound?

Just listen to music. I can't stand reading when music is on. I have to read in silence. I can't stand doing housework with music on either! I can listen to NPR though!

I most definitely cannot read and listen at the same time.  Either demands enough of my concentration that it cancels the other out.

Back when I had my system in the living room, I used to do other things (like get ready to go to the gym or barbecue) and rock out.

I am always doing 4 to 7 things in the same time (nothing important or productive.) If I were just listening to music, people around me would think I am dead.
