Music while working

Featured Replies

Although I said I don't listen to regular radio. I do check in to some on SHOUTcast often. Most are ad-free (or limited to just 1 between songs) and got a nice range of genres.

 

[update]: Sounds strange but I occasionally have the sound of rain playing in the background. It helps me fall asleep too but while im working it kind of makes me think it's actually raining and I'm not missing any sunshine outside to distract me. Although we don't actually have any sunshine anyway haha.

 

Sound of rain is actually a good idea will have to give it a try although there isnt much of a shortage of it here it is relaxing when indoors.

 

I tend to listen to tripy chillout electonic music when working, loads on youtube - currently listening to are you shpongled by shpongle, full albums are on there :)

For rain sounds try http://www.rainymood.com, I use it a lot if I need to really concentrate.

 

A combination of that and

chills me right out. It works so well together.

Well, music is life and it refreshes your mind whenever you're down or just when you want to have something that'll kill boredom out of your busy day..I do play LP songs even if I'm working, it makes me feel alive and kicking! :)

Probably around the same time I was learning this on bass and smoking Superkings ;)

 

 

 

You have good taste!

That's what I tell my wife ;)

Joking aside, anything by The Stone Roses, Black Keys or the Arctic Monkeys keeps me entertained!

I've never been much of a Stone Roses fan, but I haven't given them much of a chance either. Black Keys & Arctic Monkeys though, definitely.

 

Have you listened to AM yet?

Yes mate, I am a huge Arctic Monkeys fan so pre-ordered it. Love it so far. Got tickets to see them in Sheffield in November, can't wait!

You're lucky, I couldn't get any tickets for UK dates, let alone the gig in their hometown.

 

What's your favorite album by them?

I was very lucky, I managed to get 3 (Me, the Mrs and her sister).

 

I wasn't holding much hope of getting any for Sheffield I'll be honest, so was chuffed when I got them.

 

I like Whatever People Say I Am, that's my favourite. AM sounds immense though! What about you?

To be honest the only one I didn't really like was Humbug. All the rest I can listen to all day!

Jumping back in on this... I'm not a fan of Humbug either but like their first two equally. Black Keys are cool. Not the same band as such, but either of you like The Heavy?

Never heard them :o

 

I really like Humbug, but it takes a while to get into. Definitely the start of their maturity as a band. Matt's drumming is solid in that album, whereas the first album is amateur musically in comparison. It's nice to see progression in their music rather than sticking to the first albums trebly sound, I prefer Favorite Worst Nightmare because it's similar, but a tad heavier.

 

Suck It And See is a great follow up, "Don't Sit Down Cos' I've Moved Your Chair" being the highlight.

 

Never heard them :o

 

You'll know them after hearing this one

I was expecting something... heavier. But nah I like that, I'll have to check out a bit more of their stuff.

I've heard a few bits by The Heavy but not really listened to them in detail. Will have to give them another look.

 

I know that AM have been supporting The Black Keys (what a concert that would be!) on their US tour, which is where I think their 'heavier' sound of Do I Wanna Know and R U Mine? comes from. Really liking the new album though. Snap Out Of It and Fireside are my favourites.

Starting the week with this

 

...and to continue the rawk

 

 

Seeing them in 48 hours - woot!

Listened to whole of The Lumineers album while I worked today, great album and can not wait to see them live!

Rock music really gets me pumped and active and ready to work my butt off.

 

Right now I'm listening to Within Temptation cause I saw them live a little while ago and I was really impressed.

 

EDIT: How can I embed a youtube Vid? Copying the code from youtube embed doesn't work, neither does using the Code tool in the editor.

To embed just use the share url and the forum does the rest (so it appears).

Have you been going through my playlist? Hmmm? Next you'll be posting stuff like ...

 

 

And then I'm onto you!

 

Quite possibly have the same playlists :D Hopefully I can add to that list. Wednesday night was Soundgarden - worth the wait - they were great; Rusty Cage, Outshined - the lot :D The support band however were superb - they're called Graveyard. Check 'em out and see what you think (unless you already know them)

 

aah. am i the only weird fellow, i dont listen to music when working. its not i cant i just dont want to, i just wanna focus on work every seconds available but during my few minutes break within hours. oh yeah.. play it out loud and then getting back to work.

Yeah! Pixies :D I was going to go see them on their new tour but it was something like £60 a ticket or something mad like that.

 

Currently listening to Korn's new album (we have a history and I'm a glutton for punishment). It's actually growing on me. Like fungus.

 

Also listening to a band called Red Fang. I won't post a link as they're not everyone's cup of rock (stoner rock). Heard about them through Rocksmith.

Anything we do is set by mood. What better way is there to set a mood other than music? When working on a design, we want to get into a groove or a melody of our emotion on that time.Music lets you express things better – it’s like an outlet of our feelings. Designing, on the other hand is also another form of art. So combined together, it will result to a very influenced product. :):santa_smiley:

It has to be a bit of Drum&Bass for me. The genius of some of the production/engineering is really inspiring.

Feel good Friday ... crank it up and sing it loud!

 

I counter that with ... (no twerking at the back)
