problem listening to music album
In this mp3 times, I have problems listening music album properly. It's not just the question of time, but also the attention span is shorter right now. I wish I can go back to the pre-mp3 days and just listening music one album at a time.
Do you have the same problem?

I always had a bunch of mix tapes -- so I never did listen to a whole album.
Right now I have entire directory of a single artist set to random -- not really the same thing, but it's less distracting than playing my entire MP3 collection on random.

"Albums" nowadays are mostly just a collection of songs anyway, so you're not missing much.

Depends on the artist, MarkTAW. Some still think they are artists, not just bands trying to make a buck.
Hard to find'em, though.
Maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. Since there are so few albums worth listening to as albums, nobody wants to anymore.
BTW, I checked out Leela James, very nice. You know the title track on A Change is Gonna Come is a classic Sam Cooke tune. I just might like her version better, though.

I guess I have the same problem, but you should try to ride in a car with my 20 year old brother. He can't even listen to one entire song all the way through before skipping the ipod to the next.

Driving should only be done listening to either funk/soul or folk. Everything else is too hectic. Some Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Sly & The Family Stone, James Brown, etc. with some fuzzy dice, and if you can, a Cadillac.
If you're tempted to go over the speed limit, something is wrong.

What? You mean I'm not supposed to have Motorhead's "Speedfreak" on infinite loop? :)
I don't know why today's artists are afraid of the words "concept album".

Oh man, you would SO not dig here in Cali.
Other people going over the speed limit is great, and very entertaining while I'm driving down the center lane. 99% of the time they won't even slow down to flip you off.
