How do you listen?

Is there a trick to achieving the serene stillness that I think many of you were divinely gifted?

in no particular order:

have the mental discipline to calm and clear your mind in order to enjoy
love music for its beauty and excitement
have a great system to pleases and lets the music through without distraction

zen is where you find it

I multitask as well, but not always. It just depends on my mood and what I put on. It is a very purposeful thing.

   Yup, clear mind, 
listen to that opening riff of critical mass by nuclear assault, and let the music take you away!

 No matter the music, if it puts you in a special place, damn, enjoy, as most of us do.

  Bathory, venom, napalm death, hellhammer, onslaught, decide, Kreator, testament………Beatles, classical, folk, vocal, whatever your poison, sit back, relax, and let everything around you melt away.
wish I had an automatic TT!
woke up many times, of the stylus static, and that last groove clicking. If my SL-1200’s weren’t so good, I would switch. I use an old pioneer once in a while, if I get the effort to swap, so I have auto return.

  Let the room be silent, and soak up the music!”

 This Friday, I’m playing the new Sodom cd, and others!

enjoy.

I mostly just sit there and listen. Sometimes I'll get up and dance. Sometimes a good book or magazine. Or fiddling with that damned invention I'm using to write to you Joes right now.
