Do any of you listen to music while you run? If so, what type of music do you like to listen to?
Follow-up question: Do you listen to music to compliment your run in some way, or is it simply background noise to distract you or keep you busy while you run?
I want to buy a digital audio recorder for interviews and such, but don’t want to spend too much money. Any suggestions on which type/model I should get?
I’ve noticed that a large number of recent reviews (by “recent” I mean the past few weeks, but I’m sure this could be said about the past few/several months, etc.) have an aggregate score of around five (5) out of ten (10).
My question is this: are these average scores purely the result of simple mathematics (in that any relatively large grouping of numbers would result in a theoretical “five”)? Or are these fives a sign of an overall relative blandness (or “averageness”) in today’s pop music?
I know that each reviewer has her or his own opinions of what is and isn’t a “good” song, and I realize that these reviewers are probably not the be-all end-all of music raters. I also realize that the term “average” is also relative depending on who you’re talking to. However it is interesting to see so many songs get such “average” scores. (By the way, if this has already been addressed before or anything, let me know! I’d love to hear what people have to say!)
What do you think?
Instead of writing my essay(s), like I should/should have been doing today, I did other stuff, like write the previous blurb on my race yesterday. I’m not saying that everything I didn’t wasn’t productive, but I just really wish I had worked on my paper(s). I know I could look at countless informative websites, but I’d rather get it from real people: do you have any time-tested tips or suggestions on fighting procrastination?
