STYRENE-SURFER Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ambrose Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 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 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't listen to anything while I'm at the bench. The quieter, the better. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 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.

426 pack Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited November 1, 2018 by 426 pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsbooks Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 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.

High octane Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 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!
