Pick something you claim to love and give it the forty-five minutes it asked for. No shuffle, no skips, no second screen. Side break is for stretching and turning the record over, or for staring meaningfully out a window if you're on digital. Report back with what you heard that you'd never heard before. There will be something. There always is.
