I just read an article on MP3 and it got me thinking, When was the last time I sat down and actually listened to an album from start to finish? Ask yourself when was the last time you sat down and listened to an album in it’s entirety? Due to how easy it is now to get hold of a single track via things like iTunes and Amazon few people even buy albums, they just buy whatever single caught their attention on the radio. The other problem here is people don’t take time out these days neither. Suggest to a person that they just sit down and listen to music for an hour and they’ll tell you they don’t have the time and yet they are happy to sit in front of the TV watching mind numbing nothingness for hour after hour. Years ago I would occasionally just put an album on, turn the volume up and lose myself in the music.

So I say either dig out your favourite album, or get hold of an album by your favourite artist, put it on, turn the lights down, get comfy and listen to it from start to finish. You might be surprised by some of the tracks that your favourite artist recorded but didn’t release due to them not being commercial enough.

Oh and don’t forget to use headphones if you don’t live alone or have really thin walls
