Overall I like my record collection a lot but one album in particular sticks out as being kind of annoying. I can't remember which one it is exactly but it's a full length record spanning four sides - the only issue is that it's fairly short for a full length so each side is only like 10 minutes. Kind of annoying having to switch sides so quickly and so often, it really kills any kind of flow the album has.
I'd say 95% of my music listening is full albums. Typically (at least on my iPod) I'll let it play on shuffle until I hear something I like and then I'll just go listen to that whole album. Otherwise if I'm at my computer I can browse through my collection until something catches my eye.

Did you say iPod? Do they still make those?

While I love hearing owls, I have been kept awake by them several times. The coolest animal camping experience I have had was camping at a place next to the Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, NJ. I was stirring in the tent the next morning when they started to howl. Took a tour later that morning.The place had a couple of bobcats as well.

FedEx can pound sand. If it's promised for Wednesday, it will sit for 3 days, until Wednesday.

And then there is Amazon. Last night the driver dropped these packages in the shrubs outside my office. It was after hours and nothing was open. Plainly visible from the street and the drive into the office park.
The only reason I caught it was I checked the delivery status because they were scheduled for delivery today. The Amazon site said "delivered to a secure location." Had to go back to the office or they would have stayed there overnight. Or not.

Man, you've got it worse that me. In my defense, though, I'm extra frustrated waiting on a couple of little accessories that are required to actually use a piece of woodworking equipment that I bought last week - nothing like having a new toy tool staring you in the face and not being able to use it because you're waiting on a $10 part.
Space available, as they say.

Also I really like bands that put out albums where each song runs in to one another so from start to finish it's a continuous piece.
I'll check that out - a few months ago I tried to go on a more deep dive to Floyd's catalog since all I really know is The Wall, DSOTM, etc. - all the big ones. I got a little overwhelmed at how much there was.

The Classic isn't being made anymore. I've got an old 30gb that's holding on to dear life in my truck, it has to remain plugged in all the time and the 3.5mm jack is dead but the head unit in the vehicle can power and control it.
I had a 160gb classic that I lost a few years ago, I'm still a little sad about that
There's a lot of them available on eBay but it's just something that I don't really need to spend any money on, especially since so much music is available on streaming services. The only thing I really miss about it is being able to scroll through my library when I don't know what to listen to.

Wish You Were Here might be my favorite Floyd album and it is certainly a complete album, a thematic whole.
Animals is also a good, full album listen.

I can't remember the last time I listened to a whole album, but there's a good reason for that.
In the early days of iPod storage capacity was limited, so I only uploaded my favorite songs and virtually NO entire albums. Even to this day while I have "just" 3,000 songs on my mobile devices there are very few whole albums on there . . . maybe one Aretha, one Lionel, one Stevie, one Miles, one Sade . . . and 2 King Curtis I think.
But I never listen to them as a contiguous album, only as separate songs. Whole album listening basically died for me in the 70s when I started putting together mixed cassette tapes.

I have a copy of Animals on vinyl
That is a good one, fairly short but in a good way.

As a musician, I would think that you, perhaps more than or at least as much as anyone else on here, would appreciate the art that is involved in the vinyl format. From the album covers, sleeves and inserts, to the order in which the tracks are arranged and transition, to the tonality of the music, vinyl albums convey a sense of art that is missing in CDs, MP3s, and streaming formats.
When your community band performs a concert, is the music chosen so there is a flow to the set, or do you just randomly select 3, 4, or 5 songs that are disjointed from one another and awkwardly transition?

That's pretty funny. I'm not so good at it either. I'm better at putting albums on a thumb drive to play in my car since I can't stand the radio with DJ jabber and the commercials. But, more and more, I seem to be turning to Pandora.

My tunes are all on a Micro SD card, just move that to a new phone every 2-5 years. I need to rip some more albums and copy those tunes to my SD, it looks like it's only 1/3 full.
About time.
