What are you listening to while you code? TOBACCO - Dimensional Hum - YouTube[^] This album, right now. Tomorrow, something different
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
No can't do music and work at the same time. If the music is good then it will just take me over. Sort of wish that I had the skill to do this but alas never learnt it. It is either one or the other for me. That being said I did like your post so thank you. Never heard of Tobacco before. Now I have heard about 6 songs from this album. It is really interesting because at this moment I love it and hate it at the same time. Sort of thrown me into a musical cognitive dissonance. So I will have to listen to some more and listen more closely. So thanks for the post.

Ok don't laugh, but I listen to the Pitbull channel on XM radio. I do mix it up with EDM channels too.

Mostly things before the 80's. Everything from classical (for hardest problems) to Merle Haggard to Pink Floyd. Silence when the going gets tough. TOBACCO reminded me of an old transistor radio and trying to tune in an FM station that is between two others. It had some strange appeal though.

Studies have shown that listening to music occupies the creative portion of your brain leaving your work product lacking in creativity. If I am forging new code, then I prefer silence. If I need to drown out coworkers, I use a pink noise loop. If I am doing some mindless editing, refactoring, or re-org, then I want something with a quick beat to keep me moving fast. A nice merengue usually does the trick.

It varies. Sometimes I listen to movie soundtracks (mostly from John Carpenter movies like The Thing, They Live, etc.). A while back I played every song on my phone in alphabetical order which took a while (never knew I had so many different live versions of "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC). I just started listening to the iTunes "Purchased" playlist. It's basically the history of every song I ever purchased from iTunes though I'm not sure how it orders the songs. I mostly like classic rock but I've recently gotten into some other newer groups/artists like Orianthi, Gary Clark, Jr., and Night Club.

Totally forgot about that song! Added to my "creative" playlist.

LOL, lemon? I get manic. Literally, certifiably manic so creativity isn't a problem - an outlet is and sometimes coding just isn't enough. I'm quite mad, you see.

Check out The Art of Noise - The Seduction of Claude Debussy It's an operatic biography laid out in scenes. It's also a really great meld of improvisational electronic and classical music.

God is an Astronaut, Caspian, Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think, This Will Destroy You, and Mogwai are my mainstays. Not fitting into that category, but something I've also been listening to lately is a lot of George Winston.

I've listened to some of his solo stuff, but like him with PT better. Would love to see him/them in person. If I would have known they were playing in Pensacola I would have come over, I'm in Jax!

Dream Theater will be there in a few weeks. (27th) I just got back from seeing them in Chicago. The second half of the show is 'Scenes from a Memory' in it's entirety. BTW, I'm about 90 miles west of Tallahassee...most of my customers are in FL. :)

I'll check that label out. I feel like that about Rhymesayers but then, I can listen to lyrics while I code and a lot of people can't. It also helps me focus when I'm manic because it ties up all the stray distractions into one place - any focus not on code is on the lyrics. =) I'm an oddball.

Yes you are correct. Is it OK if sometimes I hear the devil giving me instructions when I listen to it? I am enjoying it. Thanks again.

I'm half convinced TOBACCO is the devil - or at least working for him

I like a wide variety of stuff, but saw this new one by Lake Street Drive the other day. It's just spine tinglingly good: Lake Street Dive, "Musta Been Something" Night Owl | NPR Music - YouTube[^]

It seems I am in a small minority, but I prefer to listen to classical - usually solo piano, but a wide variety of other styles under the "classical" umbrella... at a low volume and not too raucous.
You might like George Winston, then. He plays solo piano; hard to say what his style is, but it is not classical. "Forest" probably has the most songs that have made it on to my favorites list, but there are several good songs on all his CDs (I have 7 of them). His "Tamarack Pines" from the "Forest" CD is one of the coolest piano pieces I've ever heard.
