"What are you listening to?" Topic

When you are in the zone painting, what is your choice of ambient music? Is there a website for your music station?

I listen to podcasts and audio books when painting.

When driving these days I'm listening to London Calling by the only band that matters.

I still go back and listen to the old episodes.

Usually instrumental Jazz, Davis, Coltrane, Brubeck. Sometimes an old movie.

I listen to music. Nothing to heavy though.

6Music from the BBC

Rachmaninov piano concerto #2 and #4

I tend to ping between my two great loves: classical music and classic country. This afternoon has been a perfect example: painted for a bit to Bruckner's Second Symphony, now listening to old time country (pre-1970) as I cook supper.

Baseball, this time of the year.

Celtic of all types (Scottish, Irish, Canadian Maritime , Breton, Galician, etc) , Scandinavian, jazz, and classical music. I do a Celtic program twice a month and a classical program every Wednesday morning at our local community radio station.

The never ending ringing in my ears. It seems to get louder every day. The upside is that while painting the little people and things I usually don't hear the phone ringing off the hook by telemarketers. (:O)>

Epic and classical and new age and just about anything but rap and country…………

This type of year I listen to baseball also. On Saturday morning I listen to the two hour talk show on the team and paint since it is just talk no visual stuff.

Andre Rieu … youtu.be/h8QmV8wxEeE

Nooooo…. Lol.
Anyone have a Spotify playlist?

The sound of silence--no, not the song, the real thing.

WYCE, a community radio station that plays a mix of Folk, Blues, Rock, Jazz & World Beat. All the programmers are volunteers. The rules are simple they play a mix of the format drawing from many thousands of CDs. Every 4 hours they have a a new programmer on who is allowed the freedom to chose the selections being made. The station can be installed by a search of the internet for WYCE. Try it if you like variety and non commercial music.

Silence is golden.

I listen to a mix of Mariners baseball, or a choice from my record collection. Mostly classic rock or R & B. Today it was Soundgarden . . . Sigh.

I used to listen to sport, but I kept on ripping my garment when my team went down, I had to let that addiction go. 😎

Occasionally a US classic rock station, but usually something from the BBC iPlayer. This might be classic or contemporary comedy, music, drama or a documentary. The archive of 'In Our Time' is such a rich vein that I revisit again and again. Last time I listened, I heard programmes as diverse as the shape of the universe, and the origin of the Dominicans and Franciscans. That was especially appropriate as I was about to paint some monks.

Just recently it's been a lot of NWOBHM

Podcasts, Meeples and Miniatures, Civil War Podcast (that one is awesome), the ones which accompany the Ancient Warfare and Mediaeval Warfare magazines.

Vivaldi

Armin van Buuren

Fall of the Roman Empire by Peter Heather and whichever Audible Book comes next, probably The Last Stand by Nathaniel Philbrick

Phillies baseball on AM

Last Stand is a really good book!

I also agree about In our Time. I have loads of them downloaded. Pritzker talks that various authors give on their history books or just military related topics are also quite good!

The not very muffled sounds of my parents' TV/Radio in the room(s) next door – my father is pretty much deaf and doesn't always wear his hearing aid.

(Currently "between houses", without my own sound system, squatting in my parents' dining room).

Usually blues

Any Blues. But my favorite music is British rock from the 1960's.

Diana Krall lately.

Podcasts.

Alexa plays Yo Yo Ma for me.

My stereo in the basement is so old I still listen to cd's of standard rock and roll. Springsteen, Talking Heads, Midnight Oil, Elvis, Cheap Trick, Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Social Distortion, Pogues. The list goes on and on.

It's also a good way to keep track of time, since most cds are about an hour long.

Alot of punk and hardcore. Yep, I'm a punkgirl.

Bad Religion
Pennywise
Rise Agianst
Minor Threat
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles

The sound of my ears ringing.

Sometimes have the TV on when I paint,

Baseball, talk radio or "oldies" esp Motown.

I'm deaf, so I guess mine's silence is golden.

I listen to classical music or film scores.

3D Radio.

Rock in its various incarnations and soundtracks.

Yup – podcasts and books primarily.

Sunday mornings I like my Medieval/Renaissance/Baroque mix.

I like Metal at other times.

Usually sports talk radio – the FAN in Baltimore.

Nope, sports station which focuses on college sports.
