Extreme Listening Mode, “what the fuck are you guys on about”" say you, Dear reader. Well, it’s like this.
Picture the scene…….
A flat, a few people sitting around, drinking beers, listening to some tunes. One of the figures gets up, let’s call him D.
He says, “I’ve got some cracking songs for you to hear!”
He opens the CD tray, puts in a new CD he takes down from a shelf and puts on a song. It’s good, about 45 seconds in you’re wondering how a band this good and a song this good could exist without you having heard it before. Suddenly, the near ecstasy is broken by the sound of “if you like that, you’ll love this!” and the CD being stopped and a new one going in.
Imagine this process, 45 -90 second of songs, always stopped just at the point you are really starting to get into it, for well, pretty much coming on for 20 years now.
That my friends is extreme listening mode, a pioneering technique for listening to music and making your friends want to hit you. Not for me, I listen to whole albums at a time, but he doesn’t and he never will…
Peace and Love

* The world’s too quick to listen to whole songs, never mind albums. ELM is the future. Twat? Visionary genius. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have 315 songs to listen to by dinner time.

I, am also, an advocate of the “50-great intros of our time” musicale evening. Something to do with Charles usual being invited……….
Life is short. Evenings are short. Some bastard always wants to put on a tune they’ve picked. Extreme Listening Mode is the future!
Haha, I need to send my best friend a link to this. He just can’t break out of extreme listening mode.
It’s tougher to kick than heroin my friend!
