What are you listening to?

I'm curious: while working at the keyboard, do you listen to something? White noise, music, nature sounds? Dish.
Before lockdown, I used earphone to escape from others & distraction. My music player has around 600+ songs.

Music - at the moment mostly ambient/depressive black metal (of the non-trve variety, I guess) like Ghost Bath, Wolves in the Throne Room, Unreqvited, Harakiri for the Sky, Bosse-de-Nage or the like.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I like lyrics when I'm not coding. Aesop Rock's poetry (it almost can't be called rap but def hip hop) is mind bending, and I love him for it. Otherwise while I'm coding I need quiet or something instrumental. Beats I can handle, but usually I'll listen to Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow, or El-P and his dad Harry Keys, or otherwise something abstract like that.

:( Ugh. So tough. I really thrive best when I'm creating. Do you have another creative outlet?

I can't listen to music while researching or designing or in a Teams meeting
That got me wondering...how would that even work? If you're playing music on external speakers, your mic would pick it up, and make a mess for the other participants. I haven't tried this, but can you pipe music to your headphones that would *not* be broadcast to everybody else?
I have my much of my favorite music on my phone, so I'd listen to that using earbuds. Plus I keep my laptop mic muted most of the time in Teams so people don't hear my dog going berserk at the UPS, FedEx and USPS trucks, or my wife chattering at me. :laugh:

prog (classic and new)
I just found 3 new prog albums I will be ordering today! 0: Dream Theater - A View from the Top of the World 1: Neil Morse Band - Innocence and Danger 2: Spock's Beard - Noise Floor
"Go forth into the source" - Neal Morse "Hope is contagious"
Good selection. I'm just now getting into prog metal, so I've got some catching up to do with Dream Theater. Although, being a keyboard player, watching Jordan Ruddess play makes me want to give it all up. Haven't listened to Morse since he quit Spock's Beard, and haven't hardly any of their latest either. A drummer friend of mine has been turning me onto some great new prog from The Pineapple Thief, Frost, and Lalu. There must be thousands of prog bands I've never heard of, much less listened to.

I quite often leave this youtube stream up of a water hole in namibia. Kind of kewl. And the wind is a nice background noise. Namibia: Live stream in the Namib Desert - YouTube[^]

Does your shuffle function stay within a genre? If I allow a player to *truly* shuffle across my entire library, I might get Sinatra followed by some techno...that just...doesn't work.

Well now that the #$%#^%^ dogs have shut up (they aren't my dogs, but somehow I have to walk and feed them) I finally put on my QC15s and am listening to the beach boys. Came across some other folders full of music from bad times, so that got parked elsewhere. If I really get into a deep spot, then it's be a soundtrack - Hunt for Red October is excellent.

The sound of my hoarse breathing from screaming at the computer IT? Fixed that for you. Corporate IT has turned on things for the corporate firewall that causes 99.9% of the worlds websites to fail to load. CP's servers seem to have their #$%%^ together. I suspect this is why I cannot obtain a network license key to build some code my boss needs....

Been a long time since I saw you post, but then, I myself haven't been very active. How are you doing, all good?
Cheers, Vikram.

During work, I prefer melodic electronic music with no substantial lyrics.
