List your habits (if you have any) while listening to music.

For example, when I'm listening to a face-melting guitar solo, I tend to contort my face as if the notes were being wretched from my own hands. This may be due to my background as a musician, but it sure does get funny looks from other people. I also like to pretend I'm playing the music - via air guitar, air drums, etc.

I'm sure you guys have your own habits while listening to music, so please share!

Depends on the band, style of music, subject matter of the songs.

Take for instance one of my favorite bands of all time, Mr. Bungle. I can go from being literally insane to happy to crying...... in one song.

No matter what genre or anyting, im always tapping my foot, I tend to drum my fingers a lot too.. I sometimes do that face-thing too with the guitar

And of course I headbang

 

[Daryn Alexander]

I move my hands around a lot, and I wave my head around when cued by the music. When listening to country music, I drink and get so drunk that I just sit there admiring Johnny Cash for hours on end. If it's very intricate pieces of music, I browse Headroom and show myself that the $1200 investment next year will be more than worth it.

Hotel California single-handedly started by Air-guitar career. If you can call it that. I'm going on tour soon. Sweet.

Air guitar is certainly an art which not everyone can do well. And if anyone is considering a career in this highly competitional sport, you may have to face this man:

wow that is a great video. what song is it?

 

[MacGyver]

The little riff in the middle, which many of you may have heard before, is from Aerodynamic by Daft Punk. The name of the main song escapes me right now.

 

[kwitel]

During a great song, im moving around and doing so much idiotic crap that its simply to much to list.

 

[tennisets]

I tend to pump my right heel up and down in time with the music. I also move my head forward and back slightly when I'm really into a song.

 

[TheChemist]

Tapping of the foot. Sometimes I do the scroll wheel along with the music, too.

 

[warnsey]

Unfortuntely at the moment it's tapping keys typeing i think i'm up to 38,000 words in my essay. (of course the odd visit here doesn't hurt in the process

)

 

[Enverxis]

Tapping my foot, tapping my fingers on my leg, sometimes doing random air guitar solos or random air drumming.

 

[jagorev]

I pretend I'm Leonard Bernstein and air-conduct the piece.

classical and jazz keep me sane while I spend long lonely days and nights writing my PhD thesis and papers. Sometimes switch off, close eyes and allow the music to lift and relax me. Mozart I find is best for this, something in his music focuses me without distracting me and relaxes me without making me lose focus.
