What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?


I listen to music every day for several hours. It’s a daily routine.   But some days I just can’t seem to get into the music.  It takes a while for me to find the exact music that I want to listen to.  Other days I’m fine with it from the beginning.  If any of you have the same problem what do you do to get out of it?

I got the notification that I had been mentioned in this thread, and interestingly the notification was sent 5 times in a row. I guess somebody sat on their keyboard.

The definition of "pro musician" is somebody who does that as a job. I've been a "pro musician" since the 60s, somewhat retired, and I now have piles of instruments to keep me company. By the way, my favorite music is jazz that I do not play (somewhat unqualified), but can pretend to play...play along with things as I have a guitar amp near my primary rig...I learn a new chord nearly every year.

After years of enjoying my Heresy IIIs with a couple of older REL subs, I decided to put the IIIs (note the III's titanium mids sound much better than the new poly driver redesigned mids on the IVs...no compression throat for some reason) up on slightly tilted back 15" stands...man...the new sound is revelatory. Also, I bought a Classic 99 sub to replace one of my older RELs and that thing, used with one of my trusty Q150 RELs, is pretty amazing. So if you're a little bored and feeling a need to mix things up, just spend money. Also, smoke some pot as it moves you sideways for a different perspective.
