I listen mainly via Spotify. It's just so easy. But then I realised not all my CDs were on there, so I'm torn about giving them all away (as I need to declutter) - what if my favourite bands ditch Spotify in future? I'm toying with the idea of getting back into vinyl. There's something so wonderfully nostalgic about that slightly scratchy sound. I'd especially love to listen to records of old jazz, and perhaps classic rock and 80s bangers, to take me back, ya know?
I do my listening via the evil Spotify...it's such a miracle to me that music is now available like this. Growing up I had access to my older siblings' music, being the youngest by up to a decade. I have a memory of being about 6 or 7, walking to school alone (that dates me, for a start!!), Singing "Number of the Beast" and Adam Ants' "The Human Beings", funny what appeals to children. Now thoroughly middle aged I've recently discovered Rap, but I'll only listen to what my children call wholesome rap. Can't stand the misogynism of a lot of them. Loving Chali 2na, Jurassic 5, Roots Manuva, and as a sidebar, recently found Asian Dub Foundation. Late to the party on all of them, but better late than never. And lastly, it's great having adult children to recommend music, I feel like my job is done
