I'm here today to admit to my extreme addiction to listening to songs on repeat. I've heard its a common side effect of listening to fine music and I understand that I'm far from the only one with this condition. In order to help partially relieve the suffering of fellow addict's flatmates and to delay the necessity of widespread musical interventions, I would like to highlight the effectiveness of various youtube musical session channels such as The Amazing Sessions, Black Cab Sessions, Backstage Sessions, They Shoot Music, La Blogotheque (A Take Away Show) etc. etc. The immediate result is a fresh version of that favourite song. However, long term effects caused by clicking on the next session can also sometimes materialize as an almost permanent solution to the repeat addiction: a continual and exciting expansion of the addict's musical taste leads to a boundless variety of favourite songs and consequently not enough time to listen to it three or four times in a row without having to move directly on to the next.
