I've heard several musicians, in the sense of both performers and composers, say that they rarely listen to their own music. The context and tone of voice in those statements suggests that doing so would make them feel vain, like doing so implies that they're giving the impression of immortalizing themselves. I certainly don't frequently listen to my own music, but when I do from time to time, I often do find it enjoyable. But not - unless I'm deluding myself somehow - from the perspective of vanity. Instead its from the perspective of reveling in the joys of a completed effort. Usually these are efforts that I enjoyed doing, so I relive, in essence, "the good times". Perhaps it's kind of like looking at vacation photos. Anybody others of you have that sort of feeling from listening to your own music, or perhaps any other thoughts on that topic?
