How do i consume music?

I mostly listen to all my music on spotify through my phone or on my computer but i do still buy albums if i really like the band and want to support them for example i recently bought Tom Odells new album Wrong Crowd and listened to it on my itunes or ipod.

I wake up to music as my alarm and listen to music all through the day apart from in lessons. In the morning i listen to music that is easier to sing to and wake me up but then towards the evening i go for more slow music like Foals, the indie slow rock with the trancey guitar solos are a great chill out listen for the night time.

The only time i really share music is if someone is around, like when friends are round we stick on some bangers, its a communal thing, they choose a song, i choose a song. Or it can be more than one person like in the morning after a party and we are all hanging laying on the floor listening to Frank Ocean (its just a thing) just absorbed in the void that is our experience of the world around at that current time - "the morning after the night before". With that it is like a communal thing again you put on different songs that fit the mood set up by the first song.

Music for me is a distraction or an acceptance of the way I am feeling in that moment. I put music on when i go in the shower or am trying to work to just have something that is good in the background distracting me from the fact that i am doing work (literally right now as i write this i am listening to The XX). Or it can be an acceptance of how you want to feel, not necessarily sad.
