Years ago, Michael got me a record player. Yay! It also has a radio and a cd player in it. Once we moved into our house, i put it in the living room to enjoy throughout the house. It's nice to be in the office or the kitchen or the living room and having my music playing.
When i listen to music, i like to listen to different mediums. i have lots of cds and records and do not limit myself to only listening to one kind or the other. And radio. If i can find a halfway decent radio station that does not play two songs then ten minutes of bad commercials, i will listen to that. It is normally a college station, or something genre specific i find on itunes! So, the way i spread the music out is one hour of radio, two cds and three records...then repeat. And now, here's where it gets tricky so pay attention. The kind of medium i begin with on a particular day depends on the numerical date. 1=radio, 2=cds, 3=records. So, if it is the first of the month, i start out with radio...same on the 4th, 7th, 10th, etc. Crazy, i know, but it works for me. i am not really sure how i got this way with my music, but there you have it. i like things organized in a particular way. i may not always be neat with things, but when i have some sort of pattern, i tend to do better with whatever is going on at the moment.
So, back to the record stacking. The table i have the record player on has a small footstool underneath it. That is where i stack my records after i listen to them. i stack them 3 at a time, so i can remember how many i have listened to. Then, when i have listened to the next set of 3 records, i stack them on top of the previous records, but turn them a quarter. And once the stack reaches close to the top of the underside of the table, that means it is time to shelve them alphabetically according to genre (but that's a whole nother blog lol)
There you have it. My odd OCD music listening system. Hey, it works for me!
