Music to work to
Posted by corvettemike on Monday, August 6, 2012 5:28 AM

Whats on your player while you build? Mine runs the gambit of genres but 90% is heavy metal of somesort like Living Sacrifice, Famine, Advent, Demon Hunter, Becoming the Archetype and the other 10% is a bunch of everything from Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.

Jazz, jazz, and jazz of all types.  We have a full-time jazz radio station here in Denver and that is usually what I have on.  Some of it is quiet and restful, others are likely to get me jumping around the room!

I occasionally like to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Okay, I'm an old timer and my tastes show it.  I just listen to radio so I will not have to keep recharging my music player (I do have one, but only use it in places where I don't have a radio).

We are fortunate in this area to have a good public radio station that plays virtually all classical.  They used to have a three hour morning program that played folk and ethnic music, but that show ended a decades long run awhile ago, so my modeling music now is all classical.  But, then, I like to model old subjects, too- sailing ships, biplanes, antique cars :-)

Ditto on the Classical Music.  We have a good PBS station too that plays Classical 6AM to 6PM and Jazz 6 PM to 6AM. At 6PM my Classical CD's come out. Also listen to 40's Big Bands too.

I usually have a TV on the Military channel and listen to the shows. I'm a bass player in a rock cover band so modeling is my break from music..it's tv or silence..lol.

I usually have the TV on in the background.  It's amazing how different a movie can be when you are actually watching it.  There have been several movies that I have listened to while modeling that surprised me when I actually saw the movie.  Valkyrie will probably be one of those, as I watched it a couple of weeks ago while working on my P-40.  Some day, I will be able to sit down and watch that movie.

When in the basement shop, silence is deafening for me but my mind wanders when talk - TV or radio - is on. My daughter bought me an XM radio for Christmas several years ago and I rigged an antenna by a south facing window and I have either (1 Classical, (2 Escape, (3 Watercolors or (4 Spa playing. It's pleasant background 'noise' for me -- I can hear but don't have to listen (if that makes sense).

Baseball games for me lately.  It seems like evenings is when I get to the bench, right during EST baseball hours.  I'm a Reds fan, naturally.  (I'm in a band also, Len.  I know what you mean ...)

Hey Ordie, those Reds need to lose a few games so my Cards can catch upWink! Your guys are playing some great baseball.

I can only work on a model at night after everyone has gone to bed so I listen to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM radio.  I like listening to wierd and wacky subjects when I'm huddled over my desk.

LOL!  Usually all we can see this time of year are Cardinal tail feathers!  It could be our turn this year, though.  Not much offense, but oh my, the pitching has been off-the-chart this season - the top of the chart, that is Big Smile.

I would have sports on, but being a Mets / Jets / Islander fan, I would put the hobby knife to uses it was not intended for.

Otherwise, I go with silence.

About 70% is Bach or other classical music. Also metal such as Slayer, Burzum, Bathory, and Heidevolk. Jeff Buckley or Sad Kermit sometimes.

In a slightly different vein, yesterday I had to work because of music- I had to cover the Mumford & Sons concert in my hometown.  I hadn't heard of them before, but they were pretty good.

When at the workbench, I'll listen to DJ Shadow, the Clash, classical and opera or even talk radio.  Coast to Coast or old Art Bell shows are my favorite just because of the odd stuff they discuss.

LOL I was browsing Youtube and I found this Slavic folk metal band called Holy Blood and another from Ukraine called Oskord and that seems to be all I can listen to for the past 2 days. If you like stuff along the lines of Eluveitie you'll love it.

I mostly listen to Minimal/Bit pop when i work. Like kraftwerk, royksopp, daft punk, trentmoller, welle erdball, justice, air and ettienne de crecy. Sometimes to (dutch) rap: de jeugd van tegenwoordig.

I like music that is no to fast or energetic when modelling. That is for in the car!
