Personally, it's whatever I can listen to that I can't sing along to. That can either be something purely instrumental (most of Pendulum's songs, e.g.), something in a different language (Sigur Ros), or mashups (Girl Talk).
- billybob 15y agoThis. I program, which means using words (naming variables and methods, etc). If a song has words I can understand, it seems to distract the language part of my brain too much. So instrumental music works best for me. Silence is the very best thing, but music is better than background conversation.
- kittxkat 15y agoAgreed. That's why electronical music works best for me. It's music (with some kind of a beat), but mostly without big vocal parts.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoCompletely off topic. I wanted to contact you about USSM (see your comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3025521 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3025521 ). Could you please send me an e-mail (pick it from my web site), I'd like to know if you still have that compilation error with the latest USSM. Wild guess about the cause: I forgot to include some dependencies in the makefile. In the meantime, I'll try to reproduce the problem.
