listening to music, proper

I often have a difficult time listening to music. This is both sad and pretty pitiful. I love music. It's truly essential. But I somehow can't spare the precious time to listen to a forty-five minute album I've waited for and anticipated. And it's not for the same reason I never finished Salinger's Raise High... - wanting to hold something back. No, I'm talking new-ish albums by fleet foxes, MGMT, one of the countless Pinback side projects. For someone who loves music dearly, why the issue? I'm baffled, shamed and inaudiblely un-excused.
