Music or No music?

Guys,

Do you listen to music while you grind some sessions? Or no music? If so what artists or type of music do you like?

I feel the music soothes my brain and relaxes me.

I generally do listen to music, but not always…tends on my mood.

I also mix in on alot of podcasts as well (poker and non-poker).

Depends on your mood actually and sometimes of the stage in the tourney, but i prefer music that relaxes me, for example Pearl Jam or Type O Negative, RIP Peter Steele!

i always listen to music. some way it relaxes me and i focus more. i listen to technical progressive metal so i guess having to figure the rythm changes and progressions in the music is always keeping my brain working.

i use to use youtube but it always lagged or stopped playing. Now I use grooveshark and usually deadmau5, infected mushroom or some kind of techno or trance instrumentals.

oh yah some steel pulse is good too.

yea…depends on how far deep i go in a tourney, early on i'll listen to music or if i have a big chip stack but if i go deep i find it distracting and shut it off. Anything by Justin Beiber gets me pumped for a tourney.

Itunes is always up. Avoid the tv though, too distracting…

I listen to a few different types of music but when I play poker I have a playlist with the softer side of what I listen to.

Bands like Sigur Ros, Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You… a lot of mellow or purely instrumental stuff.

No TV in the background, either. Also ordering these headphones and can't wait.
