Do you play the same records over and over again?

I tend to binge listen to LP, both old favorites and new stuff...do not listen to LP often between these binges which are typically 2-3 weeks long...I otherwise prefer CD but also do lots of streaming...

Seems as though I always have some music playing in my head, fragments of songs.  So that's usually where I start and then it can get pretty far afield after that.

Yesterday started with Sheryl Crow because the lyric "I enjoy a good beer buzz in the morning" struck me for some reason.  Then onto Beethoven's 3rd, then Grand Funk Railroad "I'm your captain".  Then Grateful Dead most of Working Man's Dead and on and on.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I used to. That’s why I love streaming so much. It’s opened a world, literally, of new music.

Exactly. I find music I have never heard on my computer throughout the week and then binge them on the main system on the weekend. Some are keepers, some are not. But what an adventure it is for an old retired single person. Usually, it is the well recorded that remain on the play list. With so much to choose from why play poorly recorded material?

There are a handful of LPs that I turn to depending on mood.

When stressed I will play the Sveshnikov Russian recording of the Rachmaninoff "All night vigil".  The Vespers portion of that truly can calm the soul.  Similarly the Ockeghem Requiem.

When I need catharsis - Mahler 2, I have several versions but the Levine CSO is my LP of choice.

In a reflective mood the Mercury Starker cello suites are a frequent choice.
