Share your coding music

[malibor]

Hey, surely you listen to something that at least makes you chill while coding if not drawing your attention to youtube at least a little ;)

What's your favorite?

Jazz music from my cable's Music Choice channels playing on TV in the background is my go-to now.

I used to listen to an MP3 CD compiled from the Baldur's Gate II video game, or The Sims 3.

Video is too distracting for me.

I usually listen to choice selections from Dokken, Firehouse, Whitesnake, L.A. Guns, or Winger. There are some others that don't come to my mind immediately, but those are my main go-tos. Maybe a little Moody Blues (Days of Future Passed) if I'm in the mood.

...and now I just dated myself

I just have a giant folder of stuff i like on random shuffle. Most of it is noisy (metallica 1-3 type stuff, or ac/dc type racket), to drown out distractions. If deep in concentration where the metal / hard stuff is disruptive, I have fallbacks, one amusing of those is the conan soundtrack, another is a wide cut of the ventures (though pipeline got pulled up to the main noise folder!), a few other quiet ones are enya, cowboy junkies.

The Conan soundtrack...wow. I think you dated yourself worse than I did ;)

Although that is a great movie, especially in the theater!

? the ventures predates that by 20 years or so.

Oh! I didn't realize that. I haven't heard of them.

Although in retrospect, I guess Days of Future Passed is also about 20 years older...

do yourself a favor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TfCeH5H8oY
that LP opens up into a 2 LP sized pinup :) Of course she is like 85 now.
And a second favor: don't watch the live stuff. The 70s were harsh on everyone. Listen to it, sure, but watching is painful.
Ive seen Peter, Paul, & Mary in concert. That is as much additional dating as I will provide.

[malibor]

lol, dating pics in videos is not bad but primary purpose should be lengthy video and good chill music so it doesn't distract as much ;)

hopefully you wife doesn't ask you to lay the bill for inappropriate pics lmao.

Its G rated. She has on more than most at a beach or pool today on both the front, back, and inside. Its early 60s, people had not admitted to discovering the difference between boys and girls in public yet.

Actually, anything from either of those singers is good.

I think she has done that before, more than once :+)

Amazing memory, concert pianists that can play for 20 minutes or more with no music in front of them. Yuha has a particularly prodigious memory, she has done a number of concertos now and can still play them all. Considering that it takes 2 to 3 years to prepare for one of them, I find that thoroughly impressive.

Regarding the sheet music for this particular performance, I am guessing it must be a nightmare to even look at. I reckon it would take me weeks to master 10 seconds of that.

Imagine that keyboard skill applied to coding !!

Here is the score:

Another good find (depends on personal taste)
