Re: How do you listen for the first time?

I usually hear a record for the first time on the radio. This means that
it is just to get a feel of the record. By the time I actually buy it, I
have decided that I like it.

If I haven't heard a song on the radio before (eg album tracks), I just 
sit there and let it wash over me, so it's pretty much the as before.

Incidently, there are songs I hear that I HATE, and yet can't stop 
humming...you've probably heard some like this yourself. According
to my sister, the Germans call them "ear worm". That's the trivial fact
for today.
