I watch a fair bit of telly, stuff that I record then catch up over several evenings, but I tend to set aside Thursday Friday and Saturday evenings just for music before I go to the pub, which is Friday and Saturday, but after 10pm.
Should I ever have guests around, as most of them are very musically orientated then the telly would be off by default and the audio system on, with Remote selected on the pad so people can either just have a random shuffle selection or pick out albums they likely haven't heard before.
And we'd talk lots and drink beer, which we always do when we do meet up.
As it happens I couldn't be arsed to have the telly on tonight so I'm listening to four new albums I picked up on Sunday - Mark Lanagan Band, The Shins, Feist and Aimee Mann; enjoying what I'm hearing so far, stuff the telly.
As a vet I've often gone out to do house calls and had to ask people to turn the telly off as I'm trying to listen to their poor animals chest or have a conversation about treatment options. Some people just never seem to turn it off.
Then there are the enormous wall mounted TVs that I reckon you would have to move your head to be able to see the whole screen as the sofa is so close to it.
Don't ask what you find under people's beds when retrieving the escaping cat.
sometimes gets to that point in my house too, my living room is pretty much a music room, guitars, pianos, djembes all over the shop. I'm sure my neighbours are impressed at 5 am! 😆slowoldman - Member
Our guests bring their instruments and we play wind quintets.
My Grandad on his 80th birthday with all the family there put the telly on, wore headphones, and got pissed watching horse racing while we all 'mingled' LEGEND
Cbeebies goes on if our guests start playing up.
People at work talk about new adverts they like?
