Do you listen to music while you are working? What do you listen to?

Yes. Right now, Gojira.

Yes, mostly calming stuff because of the bellends I'm surrounded by.

Oh yes, I am surrounded by pests and idiots so I need a cool beat to keep me from losing my s#it

"No".

 

[pinball wizard]

"No".

Go and unlock your phone with your face why don't you.

 

[Park@82]

No. I get distracted easily and find it hard to concentrate with music.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

What kind of bass ackwards heathens don't :wtf:

 

[Aquila ka Hecate]

I voted "no", because I don't usually.

But sometimes, when people are being so incredibly noisy that I can hear them through my office walls, I will plug in the earphones.
I will then listen to something middling-loud which I know very, very well - so as not to distract me. Little Feat. Steely Dan. Grateful Dead. Doobie Brothers. Bowie.

 

[Polymathic]

Where's the podcast option?

 

[cerebus]

Podcasts, messages, stuff on YouTube, background electronic streams. Just stuff that keeps my mind occupied without taking over the work.
