    Default Music to Work to

    Over the past few days of essay writing, I have discovered that I work best to Final Fantasy piano collections, Beethoven's piano sonatas and Frank Sinatra.

    What music do you work best to, EoFF?
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    Heavy music I find gives me energy and makes me work harder and faster.
    But I always prefer to have something going on. I hate working without any music at all. :/
    Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again! I hardly knew I should use me feet again!

    What do you have to say for yourself?

    I can only work with complete silence. Any noise gets me distracted, and with music, I'll likely stop doing what it is I'm supposed to be doing (homework, chores) so I can just focus on the music.

    Any music, it stops the brain drying up.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno (ambient era), Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Philip Glass, and other such drone, ambient, minimalist, krautrock, and related genres.

    For some reason when doing math and science homework I focus more when listening to Merzbow's Flare Gun.

    For me, it has to be fast-paced. Slow music makes me lose focus. It usually doesn't matter what I'm listening to, as long as it is fast and keeps my attention.

    I pretty much did all of my final year university work to F#A#oo by Godspeed You Black Emperor! It's not my favourite album of theirs, but the songs help me focus, particularly Providence.

    Anything instrumental, be it post-rock or classical, alternatively something like opera where I can't make out the words. If there are intelligible vocals I focus on them instead.
