My membership ends in December. My wife was going to gift me a membership for Christmas. It says it applied to gifts and it is creating an entirely new membership. Seems to be within the rules they laid out…and there are no rules about same household/family members.
What did they say when you emailed them to ask why it wouldn’t let you. Seems like something CS would have helped with as it kinda seems reasonable.
I didn’t email them, she just changed the address and last name and it went through. After this month, we’ll change the shipping address back to our place. It’s fine because her parents live so close by, and that’s where she usually sends all my other gifts so I don’t open them by accident
You know what sucks? My first reaction to this is “fuck you, Bill Cosby.”
Yeah, I completely agree! My only complaint is that the set isn't a bit longer.
I suppose both but most of the time I'm an intentional concentrated listener, where I sit down and listen to the record and nothing else. The whole vinyl experience adds to that I think.
depends on the record and my mood. I have albums that are good for background when I'm cooking or reading or something, and I have stuff that's like "let's sit down and have a drink and listen"
Mostly for atmosphere, but a bit of both
Both. I will have “listening session” where I sit back and jam out and really absorb the music (this usually involves booze or some other mind altering accompaniment) or I will be working, reading, or cleaning and put on some tunes. I would say the majority of the time I am doing something else while listening but I still regularly hold listening sessions too.
Love this question.
Joining the both train. Like @Selaws I almost always listen to a new album closely at least once if I can. But I only go into my office about 10 hours a week and work from home the rest of the time. When my wife isn't home, I pretty much only listen to music. But she's the type to want the TV on in the background even if on mute. Drives me nuts, but I love her and she's worth it
Love a good instrumental record while I’m reading! I have such a backlog of books I need to spend more time doing that this winter.
Depends for me. Records like Sextant I will sit and intentionally listen. If we’re talking something like Stanley Turrentine, usually working or doing something else.
I usually sit down and concentrate the first time spinning an album, so I can listen for any defects I might miss if it's just a casual listen. If it's an album I'm familiar with/have spun before I will put on while cooking, folding laundry, etc etc.
yes x4
