I settle in on one album, or even one song, for weeks on end, until it's barely registering anymore. Recently I've been reading the 33 & 1/3 series of books about albums, along with listening to the album that the book is about. This is a whole new way into an album that I find really cool -- especially in regard to my work as a producer and engineer.
I don't watch much, but when I do I find it either alarmingly horrific or suprisingly ok.
