What do you listen to while you build???

[STYRENE-SURFER]

If you like to build HOT RODS and listen to ROCKABILLY, here is a great streaming channel with real DJ's from all over the world.

http://rockabilly-radio.net/djs/      Great music and programs. Especially "The Drag Strip w/Strops Hop." You can listen

to his his archived shows on Mixcloud here>  www.mixcloud.com/StropsHop/

If you are into 60's 70' album rock and love deep tracks and real DJ's, "WXYG the GOAT' from Sauk Rapids MN is one of

my favorites.    thegoatwxyg.com/index.htm

When I'm in a weird mood I will always go to this station filled with wonderful PSYCHEDELIC mainstays and obscurities

as well as crazy old radio adds done by artist from the time period and some fun bumpers as well.    psychedelicized.com

Boy, do I feel like an outlier. 

It varies, but I usually switch between Alternative, Jazz Fusion, and 20th Century Classical music. Favorites are Weather Report, and Return to Forever for Jazz. Classical is usually Hindemith, Prokofiev, Nielsen, and sometimes Ives. I sometimes binge on Tragically Hip.

[StevenGuthmiller]

I don't listen to anything while I'm at the bench.

The quieter, the better.

Dave, you're really not that much of an outlier. My Vortexbox server is filled with old jazz fusion tracks.  Those are all great artists, when I was young got turned onto a neighbors

record collection. When I heard Miles, Weather Report, John McLaughlin and others it changed my life forever. And I was listening to Punk at the time, go figure

I always wanted to be a smooth jazz drummer.

I's be so cool sitting there in my black turtleneck and beret tapping on a Sabian hi hat cymbal ,, "tap taptap ,, tap taptap,, tap taptap.

I'm with you except that sometimes I listen to myself as I may need some expert advice.

Yeah, I talk to myself, or yell at myself occasionally.

Which ever is required at the time.

That too.

I prefer to build in silence so as not to lose my concentration. What I have done sometimes, since I have hearing aids, is to set them on Zen or Zen 2. I normally have a ringing in my ears from damage caused from exposure to very load noises as a young man. They told me the Zen settings are supposed to help cure this problem. They lied, but it does cancel out the high pitched noise for the most part.   

[NYLIBUD]

? The TV

[Deuces]

Anything from Doo-wop to late '70s classic rock...

[olsbooks]

crickets chirping...truly...i still haven't figured out if they are in my head or in the woods out back bit that part doesn't matter.  I like them. They don't yell, lie, or need me for anything.  

 

Peace

[Scott Colmer]

Jack FM which is generally rock.

[NYLIBUD]

Hey I whatched Goodfellas the other night while I was building.Still love that flick.

[Deuces]

Great freakin' movie.... ?

[426 pack]

I got a tv for Christmas last year for my room with Netflix so the tv shows I watch are Broken 99 (I’ve watched every season about 5 times) and The office (I have watched all 9 season 2 times). I also will have a movie on sometimes.

I .....Really try! .......not to "hear my wife".      Haven't perfected that one yet!     Skynyrd thru headphones " helps "  but does not cancel out.

Music - usually rock.

[olsbooks]

Good one, kevin.  Try this.  Make some sort of 'anti' nag device.  Hit the spare parts box and fix up and old radio or something in full rube Goldberg fashion.   Patent it and you will make billions.  Or for something cheaper and simpler, look at your irritant through the tines of a fork.  Tell them you are pretending they are in jail.

Peace.

[Spruslayer]

I watch cartoons,Betty Boop,Bugs Bunny,Popeye,the old classics!

Now imagine it with a Spanish accent, and half of it in actual Spanish (when she's on the phone). Welcome to my life--I'm basically Jay on Modern Family.

I sometimes can listen to my tinnitus while I build, but I'd rather not. I'm glad that it's not constant as it comes and goes.

[DPNM]

I almost always listen to Pink Floyd, Metallica and Billy Idol. They have a way of psyching me up. I built a  model a good while ago and only listened to Pink Floyd's "The Wall". It was on cassette and the player just kept reversing itself. Ahhh, good times!
