This year (January- November according to Spotify) I listened to:
176,689 minutes (2,945 hours) of music…the equivalent of 122 days nonstop lol
This apparently puts me in the top .5% of listeners worldwide (damn, bro…save some pussy for the rest of us).
This was spread out over 289 genres, 8,361 artists, and 13,670 songs.
My top 5 artists were Mozart, Chopin, Bach, Pink Floyd, and Beethoven (in that order). Apparently I’m only cool like 20% of the time (definitely less than that).
I (allegedly) spent 22,778 minutes on Mozart (around 380 hours or 16 days straight). (https://www.classicfm.com/composers/mozart/news/like-mozart-facebook-makes-you-clever/…lol damn, I must be an anomaly/outlier from that research).
My top song by Mozart was “Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467: 2. Andante”…give it a try some time, nerd.
My top song overall was “Born To Be Wild” by Steppenwolf…which my sons apparently made me play 169(nice) times.
I also listened to over 14,000 minutes of audiobooks (around 240 hours or 10 days nonstop) which I’m convinced was mostly “The Count of Monte Cristo” lol
Anywhooo…people often ask me how I can stand to live/work alone (and deal with literally never meeting/seeing a son of mine who will soon be a year old [fucking destroys me honestly])…without a TV (haven’t owned one in almost 7 years)…and I guess the answer is music…among other things I suppose…but mostly music.
Sending love and good vibes (and good music) as always. I hope all is well, and I hope it gets better if not.
P.S. Song of the day: Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 13 (’tis a banger).
PssPssPss: If you didn’t at least smirk reading some of this…then you’re much worse for wear than you realize.
