I found the DJ Food RSD release on discogs for a fair price, and an incredibly awesome boardie is sending me Jamiroquai. Record Store Day miracles!

Jealous; that's a fantastic album.

Yeah, stoked for that find. I'm listening to it right now and remembering why I love it so much.

Got the Vaya EP at Coachella and last weekend:

Feist - Metals LP (AMAZING ALBULM!)

And got these ones below fro $1 at Backside:
Gato Barbieri - Caliente! LP

They had a lot of $1 vinyl, mostly crap though. I tried looking for cool stuff but I guess I got there kind of late.

When you guys listen to records what are you usually doing?

[bballarl]

When you guys listen to records what are you usually doing?

Reading or writing music or sitting on here (meaning the computer) or talking to friends or cooking. Etc. Records are background music for me most of the time. An accompaniment to my day.

[send me ctrpllrs]

I don't get to listen to my records as often as I'd like since my setup only allows me to use it in one room in our house, so I am usually pretty focused on listening.

From Forced Exposure yesterday...

Paco Sala - Ro-Me-Ro LP
Emeralds - Does It Look Like I'm Here? (Daphni Mixes) 12"

[bmack86]

I like to watch baseball games on silent with records playing.

When you guys listen to records what are you usually doing?

I usually play music while guests are over, playing darts and drinking beer or laying on the couch listening with headphones on.

[greghead]

When you guys listen to records what are you usually doing?

Watch sports, work out, dance in my living room etc. More than just background music.

LPs need to be flipped, so I can't just walk away and have hours of music. Forces me to be a more active, engaged listener. Everyday, though, I try to find time to sit and listen to at least one album in its entirety, giving my full, undivided attention.

This, especially since my turn table doesn't have automatic shut off. I find that I'm paying a lot more attention, rather than putting on music then leaving the room and forgetting what I was even listening to. Also, I hadn't realized how much mp3s have impacted the way I parse 'albums' -- I'd gotten to the point where I stopped paying attention to what album a track was on, where I have no sense of its context in relation to the rest of the album. So I'm really enjoying listening to albums in full again.

And it is making me appreciate the releases that are good start to finish since it's not very practical to jump up and skip over a track that isn't good.

Like others have said, I listen to records when reading, writing, watching sports on TV, or even playing video games. I also do so when I really want to listen to something closely, as, like greghead and chiapet metnioned, playing records forces me to be more actively engaged with the process (it also sounds better too!).
