Listening to music

I’ve found I have a very weird way of listening to music. Since the relaunch of allofmp3.com as mp3sparks.com, I have bought over 300 songs. I listen to these on my commute and while coding or writing in work. What I’ve found is that every day or so I’ll find a song that I love and I will obsess over it and leave it on repeat for hours and hours on end. Over the last few weeks, the following have featured in repeat mode.

  • Soko - I’ll Kill her
  • Kate Nash - Nicest Thing
  • Guillemots - Love song 43
  • Josh Pyke - Middle of the hill
  • The View - Face for the radio
  • James Morrison - Wonderful world
  • Kate Nash - Dickhead
  • Willy Mason - Careless whisper
  • Kings of Leon - On Call
  • Plain White T’s - Hey there Delilah
  • Ray La Montagne - Burn
  • Ray La Montagne - Jolene
  • Editors - An end has a start
  • The Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1(Tunnels)
  • My Chemical Romance - I Don’t Love you
  • Mundy - July
  • Jet - Shine On
  • The Magic Numbers - Love me like you
  • Jamie T - Back in the game
  • Paolo Nutini - New Shoes
  • Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang your dead
  • Arctic Monkeys - Despair in the departure lounge
  • Arctic Monkeys - No Buses
  • Nerina Pellot - Confide in me
  • Zero 7 - I go to sleep

Theres quite a few others but there the most recent. They’ve all clocked over 30 repeats in Itunes (and that’s only in work). Is it normal to listen to music like this.

    I’ve found that I can not listen to music most of the time at work. At least, not if I can’t settle down into a long stint of a job.

    I need it on when doing creative stuff, and when coding a good bit of trance or dance works well (chillout is BAD for coding).

    I couldn’t listen to one track all day though, it’d drive me insane after three or four loops. I believe Joel listens to music like that though.

    I do have my favourite music for coding. Most of it has racked up about 10 plays on itunes cause I’ve got so much it. I have to agree with matt. House, trance and dance is definitely the best for coding. I well get in the zone listening to the cream 2007 cd2 and gatecrasher. If there’s words, they distract me
