Ever since I learned hearing doesn’t grow back.
I got proper headphones, so I stop jamming earbuds into my ears.
I rarely crank it to 10, I’ve never been into music, so that’s a lot of hours of wear I missed, and 90% of everyday life is silence.
I’m like a laser mic.

The only time I listen to music is when I’m writing / blogging / editing. Happy and bassy stuff.
Something I listen to a lot, is ‘Feed the Animals’ by Girl Talk – 300+ samples seamlessly stitched together, for 54 minutes. I hit play, and try to finish [a task] by the end. Discovered him when I guarded his show in November ’08.
