Does talking about music make it more enjoyable for you to listen to it?

No, sometimes less.

Not really. But I talk about it for the same reason I talk about anything I guess.

And why is that?

The need for human connection?

Because it's fun. And because I'm always on the lookout for cool new tunes.

It's like dancing about architecture!
Or something...

Because people pay me?

I find Tom's answer very intriguing if it's sincere.

It is, though "Not always, sometimes less" would have been more accurate.

I'm including "discussing on ILX" as "talking".

What I mean is that for *some* records the appeal is partly in working out why I might like them, what's going on in them, and once I feel I've got a handle on them - via discussion usually - that side of the appeal fades.

Also sometimes a particularly strong, convincing argument against a record can put me off it. That's rarer.

I still really enjoy talking about music, though, so the risk that it spoils some actual music for me is well worth taking.
