Haven't found a thread answering this in my search of the archive so please excuse me if this has been done.

Four questions:

-How many complete albums, on average, do you listen to each week?

-How many of them is "new" music? (by that I mean recently released, let's say in hte last 8 months)

-How many of them are new to you?

-How many of them are part of your "professional" activity?

Really depends on mood, what's around and what I'm doing -- given my work for the AMG and elsewhere I'm almost always hearing something new every week (sometimes every day), though it can often be reissues. It's not always simply reviewing, of course, it's stuff that I could just be stumbling across, like the new Dalek, which is quite wonderful.

used to be a lot more before I had a TV in my bedroom I suspect, but the current average would probably be between 10 and 20, depending on how much free time I have at home that particular week. usually at least half are recent releases and/or recent purchases.

Bryan, it means that you listen to these albums because you have to review it, have to do an interview etc...

Somewhere between 10 and 15. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Since sometime last year, I've been trying to average at least one new album every day.

I only listen to two or three records a week directly because I'm a prostitute. The rest are for fun!

y'know, I pretty much constantly have a stack of about 30 cd's on my desk that I plan on listening to, and by the time I get through them they've been replenished or I've restacked ones I wanna listen to again soon. if I sat at home every day and just listened to albums for hours and hours I'd never get tired of it. I'm probably going to go through 10 albums a day this weekend.

"How many complete albums, on average, do you listen to each week?"

I've been keeping a log of every album I completely listen to since October of 1996. I went back and and checked since the beginning of 2005, I average listening to about 5 or 6 a day. Most of those listens are at work with headphones staring at a computer screen, but I do spend some evenings listening to records.

"How many are new music?"
Rarely.

"How many are new to you?"
Going by what I have been listening to since January 1st, about 40% of what I listen to are things I have recently aquired in the past few months.

"-How many of them are part of your "professional" activity?"
None.

As a systems analyst, I would have a hard job making a case for this at work, I think.

As an inveterate rockist, I try to listen to complete albums as much as posible. I have an exactly 50 minute drive to/from work, thus the 10 albs a week (generally listen to snippets/fragments on the wknds)

Ned I don't think I've listened to an album from start to finish in years. I've listened to plenty of mixes from start to finish though.

-How many complete albums, on average, do you listen to each week?

I probably listen to about 25 or so. I listen to music constantly, and, with the exception of New Order's, "Age of Consent," I only listen to complete albums.

-How many of them is "new" music? (by that I mean recently released, let's say in hte last 8 months)

Not a lot of it. I download most new music. The only albums I've heard from 2005 are M.I.A., Run the Road, Fiery Furnaces EP, Bloc Party, Caribou, Books, and Hood... the rest are pre-2000s.

-How many of them are new to you?

I buy about three or four albums a week, and I try to listen to things I buy, but there are always other albums I've owned for a while that I need to hear more.

-How many of them are part of your "professional" activity?

I wish.
