I listen to an insane variety of music. A little bit of everything and anything…
That said, I tend to get hung up on a couple of songs at a time and listen to them on repeat for a week or so before moving on.
It’s actually kind of random. They don’t even tend to be ‘new songs’.
The songs I’ve been hung up on this week?
- Mumford and Sons – Little Lion Man
- Ben Folds – You Don’t Know Me
- The Killers – Sam’s Town
- Birds of Tokyo – Broken Bones
- Lisa Mitchell – Coin Laundry
Do you guys find yourself listening to songs on repeat? How long do songs tend to last in your playlists? :)
I heard “Little Lion Man” for this first time this evening! I’m currently streaming it on repeat :P. I don’t know those other songs, though…
Little Lion Man is such a catchy tune! :)
Do you find yourself listening to old songs that have well and truly passed it?
I do understand though – I’ve been struggling to get that song “I’ll never be your woman” by white town out of my head, all due to a 90′s CD someone at work had going. Still, it might not hurt to crank the J’s or even RRR occasionally?
I most definatley do! I have an entire playlist dedicated to the cause. :)
As for JJJ, I wish I had time to listen to the radio! The only time I really get to listen to music is to and from work. It’s kind of lame, but 3AW is what gets played at work! :P
I have this odd ‘condition’; songs that repeat over-and-over get stuck in my head / ear. And for days it’ll repeat. If I hear it on the radio, or someone sings two lines from it, It really bothers me. I think I need a break from all noise/music at times :( Podcasts are good for that….
Recently the one song that I can listen to over and over without any affect is owl city’s “Fireflies”. Dont know why, but I cope.
I’ve never really been big into podcasts… I can’t seem to find any I like enough to listen to regularly!
There is one that has a general techno-twist, but also has some colourful personalities on it that make it less ‘dry’: http://twit.tv/twit
Of course, even I’ll admit that it varies from week to week.
I love Ben Folds. :)
I am totally random with my songs too.
Ben folds is brilliant! :D :D :D
I listen to songs on repeat ALL the time. Usually I feel like listening to one song, and I’ll listen to it for repeat for a while, and then switch it up with putting a different song on repeat. Currently it’s “Best of You” by Foo Fighters :D
It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who does that! It’s quite possible for me to go a day only listening to two songs both on repeat!
