Off Topic - What do you guys use for music when working?
 

Just curious if I am the only fool who cranks a wall of speakers at either side of the desk half-tilt while working?

I find the music inspires me, gets me excited and opens up for different wordings when doing data entry type tasks such as blog writing and gallery text.

No music here........I like it when it's totally calm.....no noise

I have been listing to random music on spotify

Same.

Can then concentrate completely on what i'm doing - and depending on the bpm of the music can work faster too.

No music, I need to concentrate fully on my work :)

Antioch University bitches!

"Hey - what up guys?"

I find it helps drown out the rest of the people in the house. Silence would be distracting heh.

Usually always. I have everything uploaded to Google Music and just stream to headphones.

This is what I'm listening to this second:

country music lately

I listen to Pandora, but not loud... just barely enough for me to hear it.

When I have deadline to make, I crank the reign in Blood album by Slayer on repeat. It gets me frothing at the mouth like rabid dog.

Either I use shoutcast through winamp on my desktop or pandora on my tv.

I have music on 24/7 unless I'm watching a movie or a show. Pirate radio - http://www.kqlz.org is what I'm mainly listening too.

hardstyle or drumstep .. what i'm listening to right now youtu.be/WWNnBpuZMuI

I *ALWAYS* have music on while working. I picked up a pair of amazing Bose headphones and have them cranked to full blast while I work. I listen to mostly Metal but I have all kinds of music in my iTunes library. If there's no music, I can't think.

I've been really getting into Spotify lately, to discover new metal bands. There's almost nothing that's not on there.

I turn on an old monster Pioneer 4-channel mega-amp, crank up Led Zeppelin/King Crimson/Free/Savoy Brown/John Mayall tape on my Teac reel-to-reel and let my giant Pioneer speakers wail away in quad surround-sound. :firehair

The walls shake. But, hey, I own the place.


Other days, listen to trance on Pandora in the background.:pimp

I use Spotify and Pandora mostly, but I also own a bunch of music I have collected over the years so sometimes I listed to that as well. I probably listen to music about half the time when I work depending on how much I need to concentrate.

silence or calm relaxing music

That's more ON TOPIC than most of GFY threads :2 cents::2 cents:

I start with slow easy music in the morning (Norah Jones, Enya, etc), by noon I'm usually at at rap - the beat keeps me in pace and at night I'm usually going Linkin Park underground :thumbsup :thumbsup

iTunes with different genius mixes depending on what I feel like listening to at the time.

I like the Rock and Roll..no rap shit

depends on the task. If I'm designing or coding, I listen a lot of music, ranging from electronica to South American folklore, from ambient to hard rock, I'm very eclectic in my taste. If I'm doing things I have to think more carefully (like writing text or data analysis) then I prefer absolute silence or a very calm relaxed music.

For example, right now I'm listening a group (well, a one-man-band) I've just discovered, "Washed Out". Before that, Anna Calvi, Graffiti6, Massive Attack and Brian Eno, but earlier today I was listening the "Selling England by the pound" LP by Genesis and a compilation of hardcore and punk bands from the 80s

Radio Paradise

God, I'm fucking old!!!

Although I listen to the Going Quantum podcast when I need extra juice. This + vodka + Red Bull + orange juice is a nice fucking combination!
