What do you listen to while working on your layout?

[Dallas Model Works]

Baseball, football, basketball, classic rock (a misnomer, if there ever was one, but there you go!)

 

Yah, I always wondered about that "Classic Rock" misnomer myself.  Does that mean Mozart, Haydn or Beethoven with a Stratocaster, LOL?

Tom

Here is some "Classical Rock" for you...

[dinwitty]

I found this 50 cd player and chucked all my music CD's in. big fav of Emerson Lake and Palmer, but do like Isao Tomita stuff, Moody Blues, Yes, as favs but not limited to them.

BTW Tomita did his version of Pacific 251, for those who dont know Tomita, he is a Japanese Moog synthesizer artist. Find his stuff, really cool.

As Bob Seger would say, "I like that old time Rock and Roll!"

Dallas--

Actually, that was an improvement on the original Pachelbel, as far as I'm concerned, LOL!  It's actually "Baroque" rock.  The "Classical" era in music was from about 1750 to 1820 or so, and mainly consisted of the composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.  Pachelbel was earlier--back when people wrote music for Noblemen to talk over while they sawed away in the background.  There, now we've all had our Music History Lesson for the day, LOL!

[hardcoalcase]

SOMETHING TO GET THE BLOOD PUMPING!!! 

... like the 1st and 4th movements of Beethoven symphonies (especially the odd numbered ones); or Beethoven overtures - Lenora 1, 2, 3 and Fidelio are real barn burners!

Mendelsshon'S Italian Symphony, Mozart later symphonies (#25 and up) and overtures.

If these don't get you cranking... better check for a pulse! 

 

[ARTHILL]

50's music because that is when I started my first layout, which I am now finishing

And I have a CD of train songs.

TWhite, nice lesson. I do listen to my LP's of classical on occassion.

[novicerr]

I just listen to the voices in my head. Or sometimes old country music. The before 8 track type LOL

I think we have a cd at home with different versions:  Pachelbel's Grastest Hit!

Hardcoal--YEAH!!

WARNING:  Never, NEVER run your Crack Passenger Limited while listening to the final movement of the Beethoven 7th Symphony--it could be REALLY disasterous when the train hits that first curve, LOL!

[pj1775]

AM Radio.  Rush, Michael Savage, Mike Gallager.  I know, I'm holding a big fat L over my forehead.  :)

 

 

[warhammerdriver]

Usually the Steelers game

 I WISH I could listen to the Steeler games.

 

If the race is on and the Hendrick cars aren't cheating their way to a stolen win, I'll have the tv on that.  Otherwise Def Leppard, Evanescence, Metallica, Nickelback, Motley Crue.  You get the picture.

 

WHD the displaced Steeler fan

All right -- it's Baroque n' Roll then!

Nothing.After being in a noisy factory all day it feels good to unwind with nothing louder than an old Athearn.

Nothing wrong with Michael Savage, he tells it like it is.I listen to him or listen to my XM radio, sometimes books on CD.Also like the Michael Reagan show.

Sometimes tune in the 40's channel on XM, and listen to stuff like Glenn Miller, goes good with my 40-50's era Pennsy layout. 

And in the morning the G-Man!!!!!   G. Gordon Liddy.

Sure do miss Art Bell.
George Noory is too hung up on ghosts and weird stuff.

Savage isn't bad provided he didn't have a bad meal before the show. I can't get Coast 2 Coast here. And I'm NOT gonna pay to stream it.

[LD357]

Usually, the tv.....see whats on the satellite, find something mildly interesting and then head downstairs, works great for those repetitive tasks and boring jobs , latenight and on the weekends, VH1C Metal Mania is perfect for getting a lot of stuff done, or if thats not on, XM Boneyard does the trick.......and if none of those is particularly interesting,  I dig through the Metal Kollection and find some good, fast head bangin' tunes, gets the heart pumpin' and the brain working, nothin' like laying track with Judas Priest poundin' in the background!

[jguess733]

I usually tune into to the local classical station. It's relaxing. I find Mozart brings out my creative side.

[LNEFAN]

Many times I will listen to old-time radio shows from the 40's and 50's (my layout era).  I remember some of them since I'm an early era baby boomer. My layout, my steamers and those shows transport me back to that time! Other times I listen to sports talk radio and especially WFAN out of New York.

  Though I admit that my preferences run more to the Russians...

Koto and samisen music - NOT!!!

Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September. 1964 - tuned to PBS)

[Hawks05]

..dont forget the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

I listen to them every once in awhile while I'm studying. Kind of a change of pace style for me, but yet so relaxing. I don't really get to work on the layout or even see it often so I think I'll just maybe throw out some bands/artists I've been listening to lately.

Getting major play on my iPod/computer is Motion City Soundtrack (band out of the Twin Cities, new alternative rock, big with the younger crowd), Gaelic Storm (combo of many walks of life, Irish trad music, love it. I'm a huge fan of the Irish music), Wild Colonial Bhoys (same as Gaelic Storm), Anberlin (see MCS), and then of course my country, Dierks Bentley.

Big range of tastes for me.

The difference between Rush and the Hindenberg?

One's a flaming Nazi gasbag,

The other's just a dirigible.

[Walter Clot]

If it is in the day time (I'm retired) I listen to conservative talk radio, Christian radio,  sports radio or NPR for their classical music (not their news).  At night I have the TV on, if its a ball game, if not whatever is interesting.  Nothing interesting after 8 tonight, so I had a soccer game on.  I didn't really pay much attention to it. Somebody beat somebody else 1-0.  Whoope, I was underwhelmed!  I got started on cleaning up my train room.

 

[modelmaker51]

Most of my music is now on hard drives (3500 albums) in .ape format, some from CDs, some from LPs and some (legally) downloaded and streamed through the whole house.

My tastes run run the gammut, except for metal and rap. My collection is about 60% Rock -'50s thru '07, 35% Jazz, 15% Classical. With it all digitized I can listen any way the mood strikes me, or on race day watch/listen to the car races (Go Hendrick!) thru the HTPC.

Listening to: 'Medley: Let the Good Times Roll/A Change Is Gonna Come/Bring It on Home' from 'Raisin' Hell' by 'Elvin Bishop' on JRMC's Media Center 12.

 HMMMM I had no idea Limbaugh was a dirigible.....He used to be a big guy, but I thought he lost weight.  

   The ''Flaming Nazi Gasbag'' remark DID remind me of someone though......John Edwards!  

[TrainsRMe1]

  I'm like rgapple, while we're toolin' on the tracks my wife and I listen to R&B,smooth jazz and a little (taseful) HIP HOP!! and of coruse Portland TrailBlazer games

[SouthCoastRail]

Only the one song "I've been working on the railroad"

 

[marknewton]

At the moment, Throwing Muses, Juliana Hatfield, Les Rita Mitsuko, New Order, Do Re Mi, H&C, Machinations & Ian McCulloch. My wife gave me a microsystem with a turntable that out outputs MP3 from vinyl, so I'm going through my LPs and converting them.

My son has never laughed so much as he does when he sees Daddy dancing!

I usually work on kits at the kitchen table on Saturday night. I like to listen to Randy Bachman's CBC Radio Show "Vinyl Tap" while I work. Good variety, fun stories.
