When I was 19 I was a roadie for Level 42 as well as spending most of my spare time going to parties as a DJ.
We try and attend two or three concerts every year as mini-breaks. This year was Tears for Fears and it was fantastic. They still have their voices and the timing and energy on stage was pretty amazing.
I have an amp and speakers in my office and use background music to help set my mood for different tasks. Dance and D&B for getting things done quickly. Laid back music for more serious or creative work. I tend to let Apple Music suggest things and then find new stuff where possible.
I don't drive without some music playing. I do have to make certain i don't play the fast stuff when driving though.
I don't tend to be as fussy about the quality anymore. I was very serious about HiFi and even worked in a a HiFi shop as a weekend boy many years back. I don't get the time to appreciate the quality so much now. My ears are definitely not as good as they were.
