The first Foo Fighters album is a turning point in the 90s

It’s one of the best set of songs start to finish, better than pretty much anything that came out in that whole decade.

My job allows me to wear headphones pretty much all day, and I’ve noticed something recently. When I listen to podcasts, it’s easy for me to kind of detach from the work and absorb what I’m listening to. I mindlessly complete my tasks while paying most of my attention to the podcast.

However, when I listen to music, it is very difficult for me to get work done. I notice that I drift away from my tasks a lot and start daydreaming or thinking about other things, and my work and productivity suffer.

I think this is similar to how I talk about plot in movies. Podcasts tend to be information-based; I’m listening to an interview or a host convey narratives, and it doesn’t engage my brain creatively. I take in what they’re saying and have reactions to it, but it doesn’t transport me emotionally like listening to music does. Music is more like visuals in movies; I get lost, I get absorbed, my own feelings and thoughts become engaged and challenged.

Just something I’ve been thinking about.

I completely agree. I can easily listen to podcasts while playing video games as well, but have a hard time doing the same with music.

i'm usually the opposite. i am definitely more actively listening during a podcast, but maybe it's just the type of podcasts i'm listening to. it's easier for me to absorb the info

i usually listen to some sort of ambient / minimal techno / modern classical when i need to get work done

I kind of agree, but it depends. For example: I have music going pretty much all day at work to keep me from going crazy. If I try to listen to a podcast or audiobook, I find myself not following the stories at all and have to turn them off. On the other hand, I also listen to music while reading and there are definitely times where I'm into the beat of the song or the lyrics in such a way that I'm not reading anymore. Guess it depends on what I pick out.

I do a good Michael MacDonald impersonation, which is always fun.

But you're right. They suck.
