What is your Work Music?

[SydneyGeek]

If I really need to concentrate, silence. Otherwise, instrumental (Tommy Emmanuel, a range of Cape jazz, and some classical stuff) or a random selection of 80's and up.

If I'm working from home and there's no-one around, I don't bother with the PC speakers... crank up the main system instead

If we're running diesel, it's the soothing sounds of General Motors and Fairbanks Morse
4,000 horse power engines.
If we're running hydro, it's more like Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, Lou Reed, Joe Walsh,
Pink Floyd and the likes.

Mostly anymore I just listen to a station out of San Francisco: 1077TheBone.com
which covers pretty much all my musical needs.

I use my headset at work, and listen to Bluegrass (Internet Radio), and occasionally Western (also Internet Radio), which I am doing presently.

Dan, is it sad that we listen to the same station?

That and National Communist Radio (NPR) are about all I can get and the rest isn't worth listening to anyway.

So what you are saying is that Radio there sucks just as much as radio here in the UK...

Anything has gotta be better than BBC Radio 1!!!

Your antidote to flaccid radio!

Hey Smitty, not sad at all. (Just means you've got good taste in tunes!)

Anything has gotta be better than BBC Radio 1!!!

Jon,
You wanna bet? Try tuning into the clam!
(K.L.A.M. - 1450 on your AM dial - if you're close enough to pick it up.)
Then you too can experience truly sad radio. :x

Well, up until a few weeks ago we had Adam Carolla on FreeFM, who had the tag line (one of many):

"For guys who like to watch 2 chicks kiss..."

Only to turn in to bad 80's pop overnight...

I just think it's weird that you're in Alaska and I'm in SF and we listen to the same station...

KLAM eh? Sounds like Crested Butte's station: KBUT

 

[HalfAce]

"For guys who like to watch 2 chicks kiss..."

. . .Can I watch from between 'em???

For anyone in the UK right now, I'm currently doing a bit of home "work" (messin' around with Excel ) BBC4 is currently showing Iron Maiden-Rock in Rio. So I have that on in the background and it turns out it's GREAT work music, what an awesome gig!!!

 

[Dr.K]

My work music at the office: rock and roll that doesn't terrify people.
-Pink Floyd
-Led Zeppelin
-Hendrix
-Pretty much anything considered "Classic Rock"

My work music when alone: much HEAVIER stuff.
-Tool
-Slayer
-Pantera
-Soundgarden

I have Sirius in my car, so I listen to Howard Stern when I'm driving. I like talk radio, the national commie radio station here in Boston is excellent. (WGBH, they also do a lot of PBS TV)
