What do you guys listen to?
« on: April 30, 2007, 09:04:33 PM »
I am audiobook addict. I listen to everything, stephen king, clancy, straub, grisham. I also have an extensive collection of the CBS radio mystery theater and coast to coast am. I always listen to this stuff on the job. My boys work for me, they're young, 24, 21, 18, 12. The older two are kind of into them now. The younger still wanna rock. Sometimes on interiors when the homeowner is there they get into it too.
I know, its nerdy, but it realy makes the day fly.

Yeah...I think I have the same joystick, I play with the WWII flight sims too (I used to have a blast playing this one too)...I see the congas, the pads, some drums on the side, the keys, a DAW--is that a Tascam? Mine's a Yamaha...What looks to be a Behringer compressor, though the pic's a bit fuzzy, is that a mic pre on top of it? No wait, the Berhi's have all their in/outs in the back of the unit...A couple sets of phones (one of 'em a Sony, Sennheiser or AKG), and one of those neat microphones disguised as a Molsson... 8)

Classical, radio Will, the University of Illinois NPR site. I almost always have the radio on no matter where I may be working. I always tell the client what I listen to so there are no surprises...Beautiful music is a great inspiration.

If the clients are around, its classic rock or country. Never talk radio as it will tend to invite people into political debates. Not allowed on my jobs period. But, if the clients are gone, or its a commercial job, or in my truck alone, well........I'm a closet headbanger from the old days. Its Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Alice in Chains, etc. Keeps me pumped up and going. Its my fountain of youth.

heh, I just passed a truck today on the road with a "King Diamond" sticker in the window.  I suppose some folks still remember the heavy music of old...  ;)

Rock on Tim. That would give me a headache from hello.

We listen to golden oldies, country & soft rock. Golden oldies never offend. Some time a little hard rock if we are far away from clients.  ;D

It's funny...  folks look at me and assume I'd be rocking out at work - after all, I still have longer hair than probably anyone else here, women included.  Yet I almost never listen to music while working.  Not that I don't want to...  but with most of my jobs, music seems inappropriate, and over the years I have gotten used to working without tunes.  Today I was about 2 hours north of here, to paint doors inside a McD's inside a WalMart - the WalMart management won't even allow me to bring in a cup of coffee or a even sealed bottle of Gatorade in the morning, and they are still undergoing construction as well!  With limitations like this as commonplace, music is simply out of the question. 

At home I listen to a good mix of classical, jazz, metal, classic rock, some modern rock & pop but not too much, and absolutely no country or rap.

Country AND  Rap?!?

Im giving Guinness (world records) a call........just in case.   ;) ;D

Audiobooks! Thats an awesome idea! I might start Steven Kings Trilogy over again if they have it, thanks!

Oh, and the comedian Adam Corolla gets me through the mornings.

I use the later digital version of these:
They work great because they don't get in the way of hats or mask bands. I upgraded to the digital version because im a channel surfer and it has weather and TV station reception, but they don't sound nearly as good as these in the picture, which use the old analog dial, but thats mainly because they fit me differently, so your mileage may vary. The 1 AAA batery lasts a couple weeks, 8 hours a day.

At 2:00 in the afternoon we here in the remote hinterlands are treated to one of the most entertaining talk shows you'll hear; Garage Logic. It's out of Mineapolis and franchised in 3 states that I know of, perhaps one or two more...

A true tradesman hasn't had a day until the Right Mayor and Fireworks Commisioner gives you a ruling on your kid's name or the 48-hour rule on a man-toy purchase...

Hail the Flashlight King!!!

Oh, and I'm pretty easy to please, music-wise...Anything except rap, disco, polka, elevator and some mariachi...
