Does that mean you'd listened to all three before it? <br /><br />If so, how's that actually work: Do you tend to listen on headphones or speakers? Can you do anything while you listen? If not, how long can you sustain that concentration? How many times do you have to listen before you feel comfortable making a judgement?<br /><br />I ask because you, like the critics you praise, have that rare ability to convey enthusiasm and inspire it in others. Regardless of how it gets done (and obv feel free to ignore all of the above or respond only in your head), keep it up.jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765242430017887568noreply@blogger.com
