Allelujah !! There is hope.
I really like to read that. I used to do that with my girlfriend and a friend. We sat, put the speakers loud and listened to whole albums while drinking some beer and smoking some pot. I was strict and too didn't allowed speaking or any distraction. I even had the impression I was too strict, finally creating an atmosphere of tension. I kind of progressively stopped to do that with people, thinking that alone is best; so I still today sit down and listen to 2 or 3 albums in a row while drinking some beer! I stopped the pot because I do not feel so well with that finally.
I understand their point of view (in the article) as today with mp3 players we tend to listen to songs separately from the albums, missing some part of the essence of a whole listen. I'm happy to see this happening and even think about maybe doing it again with people because as Tiggi said, a group experience is very great, like listening to a movie with some friends. But now, my only problem is that I don't know a lot of music lovers like me in my entourage. Maybe I should organize something bigger like in the article.
Anyway, I will do something about that because I realize I miss it.
