Music , Podcasts or Silence?

My missus moans because I'm not there, when I'm away at work, but when I'm home she just moans.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

[PJ Arends]

Silence. Anything else distracts me.

Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

[Sander Rossel]

Whatever I feel like... Really just about anything. Currently I listen to quite a bit of experimental and psychedelic (black) metal like Aluk Todolo, New Keepers Of The Water Towers, Oranssi Pazuzu, Ufomammut, Watain... A while ago it was more electronic music, dance, trap, dubstep, but also trip hop and chill out. Sometimes just whatever, bit of jazz, rock, pop, what have you. Also currently on my playlist are Parov Stelar, Neurotech, Ghost, Igorrr, and even Babymetal. I'm not bound to any genre :D

The only way I can stop my Missus moaning is by having sex with her...no wait...scrap that.

[Herbie Mountjoy]

Silence because when I turn music on, someone always starts talking to me.

I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Why? What's wrong with AWS? I'm interviewing with them at the moment ... :~

Today I'm listening to Merle Haggard. RIP, Merle. :sigh:

I like to hear what the time to become more productive. But usually I hear: EDM, Rock, classic music and others. But never in silence.

If it is too noisy from coworkers, I fire up the pink noise loop and imagine bacon sizzling in the pan.

[Sander Rossel]

All too familiar, unfortunately :sigh:

For me, Bach is best for getting into "flow" state when coding.

You and probably 10,000 others are interviewing currently. They interview thousands of people because they people constantly quitting. Average person lasts year-18 months. If you make it to the onsite interviews its 5 or 6 in a row, where the people ask the same cult-like questions and follow up questions.

It varies but today it's mid-50s doo-wop...Frankie Lymon, Jarmels, Moonglows, Cadillacs, some of the best street corner harmony ever recorded. Fast rhythm Speedo to wake you up, followed by slow ballad Sincerely to mellow out. And those lyrics...Rama-lama-ding-dong, sh-boom sh-boom Other days it's jump bands (Louis Jordan) or swing (Benny, Artie and Glenn). And every few months I take in an opera (Wagner and Bizet).

[Slow Eddie]

Van Morrison, Neil Young, the Doobie Brothers, Beatles, Led Zepplin, the Kinks and the WHO

that is along train ruuning after the gold rush, which really got me going to let it be! Needless to say I can hear for miles, but it is there a stairway to heaven, for the brown eyed Girl?

[Slow Eddie]

What band did you play in? Mine was Robin and the Rockets. guitar (me), Girl singer (Robin), Bass player (Franklin), and my dell laptop and hundreds of midi sequences to drive the Sound Canvas. By the way we dill all of those tunes except Stairway... I could not ever get the best guitar solo ever done down.:cool:

I do not play music, although I did write a song with a buddy once, it was the lyrically like NIN to a folky Bob Dylan acoustic sound! If I was to do anything in music i would be more like Bernie Taupin! :)

Music. Almost every programmer in our company has headphones on most of the time. That way everyone listens to what they like without annoying everyone else around them. :)

Headphones. Rock music.

I agree. Silence. Although sometimes I turn on some white noise. Can't have music or talking. Very distracting. Always worked in an office. The one job I got a cubicle after being promised an office. I could not function. I left within 3 months. I could not focus.
