Whistle While You Work???

[A_DeAngelo]

we listen to the I-Tunes radio most of the time but we also have a lot of cds loaded into the player and we also have Turner Classic Movies in the background - this is keep us happy and moving along and, also to serve as a good way to try to drown out the endless sound of the 10,000+ gardeners who descend on us every day to keep our neighborhood "picture perfect" at all times (a plug for the BH chamber of commerce!)

now you know why I hate doin biz over the phone!

Music means the world to me! From the moment I arrive to the office to the very second I leave music is being played. For the 1st three-hours of every morning (while alone @ office) tunes rediate from my sub & speakers.
Once the sleepyheads arrive (10am or so) the SennHeisers go on and my eyeballs start shaken!

For a while I was posting what I was listening to, but not many seemed to hold the same regard for music. http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...d.php?p=111260

I'd rather lose my penis than my hearing because it's (music) THAT important to me!

just check out my sig - if yer a house fanatic you'll know it.

I'm the same way. Music is, as Shakespeare once said, the food of love, and I am ALWAYS eating! That's one of the reasons why I chose entertainment journalism as a career, because I get to write about one of my main interests -- and I get to interview some of my favorite performers and artists. There's NO better job!

I shower to music, I drive into work to music, I work with music on my iTunes, I have sex to music, and I put music on to fall asleep to. I'm almost always listening to music.

I've met people who claim they just don't get into music, and I'm almost absolutely blown away by a statement like that. I simply can't understand how anyone could not LOVE music. It's one of the most amazing things in the world. Besides movies (my other major passion), there's nothing that I use as a tool for personal catharsis and therapy more than music. And yes, I'm all over the place with the music that I listen to. Alternative, rock, pop, indie, classic rock, punk, R&B, hip-hop, experimental, showtunes, folk, country... you name it, I love it. (Except for rap and metal, I'm pretty much into it all.)

To me, there's no more beautiful moment than when a musician bares his or her soul in a way that cuts right through your heart and you are on the "same page" with them. It's an emotional connection that transcends the fact that you may have never met.

My whole thing about the arts is that people love it because it brings people together. People don't go to the movies to "lose themselves." They go to find themselves. They go to share in a common experience. They go to relate. They go to not feel alone. It's the same with music. It's an experience that joins people together on somewhat of a cosmic plain where we are all just people with hopes, fears, loves and losses that we want to express.

I wish I was a musician.

Paco,

Did you ever get a chance to check out Alarm will Sound?

I enjoy music and I actually spent 5 years in the music biz as tour/business manager for touring musicians, and never tired of watching some of the artists I worked with perform night after night. And my taste is pretty eclectic, everything from jazz to new age to rock to go-go (if anyone remembers that).

The weird thing is, though, I don't work well with auditory stimulation while doing other things. I'm usually not effective at listening to music while writing, working, reading or studying, and I can carry on 4 IM convos and do work on my computer, but I absolutely can't talk on the phone and do anything else at the same time.

BTW, if everyone isn't already familiar with Pandora.com, you should definitely check it out. You put in the name or names of artists or songs you like, and it plays some selections from your list, and also plays you a bunch of new stuff that has similar attributes.

i love music above all things, but because it draws my attention i can neither accomplish as much nor do it as well with music playing. i tend to focus on the music rather than the work.

Hey, Patti... this never occurred to me before to ask... so of bass players, which of these are your favorites, assuming you're familar with some/all? (I know I'm missing all the heavy duty rock guys, I'm more of a jazzer...)

Jaco Pastorius

...glad to meet you. I am Brian Eno.

oh hellz yah!
After you FYI'd me (BTW - where do I send the payment?) I actually found some downloads and added them to my list of tenting tunes, which I enjoy, after a day of skinning & skiing, while staring out of my tent (sleeping bag) at the stars.

Oh yah - at this very moment I am noddin' to DJ Cam's Attica Blues.

I love Music For Airports. It's one of my favorite things to write to. I found a podcast where this musical group recreated the entire thing live on stage using modern instruments, painstakingly recreating each tone, note and sound perfectly. it's really amazing to hear.
