I think it would be interesting to share how we actually listen to music, share some "rituals" you do, whether you have to do something to help you focus, or whether you play it in the background while doing something else, stuff like that.
Me, for the most part it's just in the background, but I never feel like I truly listen to the music that way. Every time I try to just sit down and listen to the music, I get restless and end up on 4chan while the music degrades into background noise. For me to really pay attention, I have this BDSM dom come over every week or so to tie me up into a sleep sack or in a straight jacket while I wear latex shit. And then he puts on a record and I just sort of lie there for an hour while the record lasts. It's only through this restriction and sensory deprivation that I can truly focus on the music and really get into it.
Last session I listened to Kind of Blue and I finally felt like I understood jazz music for the first time. It's an incredible album! It sucks that I can't do this more often because my friend is a busy guy, but it really makes listening to the album a whole event in a way, something to look forward to, y'know.

Regardless of the absurdity of your second paragraph, interesting thread topic. I have music playing through a majority of my day, especially in the summer months when living is easy. It isn't till the evening that I start critically listening to albums, so that's when new music and so forth comes on.
Unfortunately I've been getting into a mindset recently where the more music I hear and the more music related articles I read (insight and history, not popular journalism), the bigger the musical world gets and the more uncomfortable I feel coping knowing I've barely scratched the surface and I'll have to die missing out on most of the world's greatest music.
And I don't do or accomplish much else than listening and reading and appreciating art. What a world we live in...
