The people where I work think I’m a little crazy for it, but I tend to work really well with elevator music or 1930s and 40s instrumentals. Modern music with lyrics is great for mundane tasks, but not for anything that requires real concentration.

I can’t write with any other kind of disturbance. That is a reason why I prefer noons and nights.

When it comes to songs, if they are songs that I like, my mind is consumed with listening to the lyrics or singing along. Maybe I should try getting the music without lyrics.

Moderation makes the harmony. Too much or too less is bad:)

I use it for exercise and it sure works.

Mattafix is really good.

Sometimes I enjoy having music on low in the background while I’m writing or working. A couple of my favorite are Mattafix and Xavier Rudd.

I do well with NPR. I also enjoy making CDs of my favorite song compilations.

I have a hard time writing while listening to music. If I’m just writing a blurb, I might leave it playing, but with anything very involved, I have to turn it off. It’s really difficult to type one word while singing another…

But with the drawing process, it’s actually helpful. The two, together, creative a nice, semi-meditative head-space.

Supermarkets also use that relationship.
