Thought it might be a fun topic to discuss. I listen to all sorts of random stuff while I play, at the moment lana del ray's album is playing as I find it quite relaxing which can only help. I used to listen to a lot of pendulum as I played but I found with the speed of the music I sped up the speed of my moves and didn't give them enough thought, so something a little slower seems to be working better for me So, what'd you guys listen to? Any particularly favourite tunes? E.g. the ace of spades coming on the second you're dealt aces would feel pretty epic. forced I stopped listening to music because I find I start 'listening to music' instead of concentrating on my pokerz Brokerstar For getting started in a session it has to be this bad boy!!   I am the one and only Boom!!!   golden I mostly listen to howard stern now, best grinding entertainment BetMagicMoney wuupstep The Angler I like to listen to relaxing music like venetian snares, it keeps me focused. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-XUW6JciC8&feature=related JamEaze BetMagicMoney wrote: wuupstep good man! lemonfresh I started listening to music whilst playing poker like I used to, it helps. I've picked the most chilled background music type tracks from two 14 Tracks compilations (dark ambient & in the shadow of film noir) and stuff from Boards of Canada and Photek's first albums... still some way to go with the track selection though, basically it's anything that isn't too intrusive and slows me down so I'm still weeding the harsher tracks. This track's in there too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-Kvi1K5QSg And The Angler, LOL at Venetian Snares, although given your av I thought this'd be more your bag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh0XA7wSuhI sandman369 forced wrote: I stopped listening to music because I find I start 'listening to music' instead of concentrating on my pokerz I find the same but not if it's repetitive electronica/techno/house stuff like Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, etc. Those become pleasant background noise that you tend not to focus on after it repeats the beat and one-liner lyrics a couple times qattack I listen to jango.com. My radio station has over 400 artists selected, and it plays a ton of "related" artists as well. I like variety and don't even mind some hard rap or twangy country I've never heard before. I have my favorite artists, mainly alternative rock nowadays, but generally would rather not listen to the same song more than once in a week. I have a huge mp3 collection...most of the charted hits from 1890 to the present that I've tried to "organize" in the past using itunes. It takes some time, though. I rate each song on how long of a minimum gap before replaying again. This time could be three days to three months to three years, with most falling around nine months. itunes has a pretty nice programming method to achieve this. chesslw Classical-relaxing all the way! piano/violin/guitar are all good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHeQbnCbOOE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AloBa9SPM7U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIzKsNIRrV4 If i listen to songs with lyrics I just get distracted... lemonfresh qattack wrote: I listen to jango.com.

That Chopin is fantastic, I can see myself borrowing that for the playlist In fact I have a few classical CDs knocking about, maybe it's time to rip and see how I get on... qattack lemonfresh wrote: qattack wrote: I listen to jango.com.

I don't know my country music and some of the songs get pretty twangy. Fortunately, there's not much country on my station. I definitely couldn't listen to it often. I do like pop country artists like Ronnie Milsap and Kenny Rogers, though. StasKo www.di.fm just pick your fav music.. i like to hear the lounge channel when im playing Brokerstar The only song to have on when you're running good!!! SEXY BOY HunterBran Music while playing games I like to listen the music of games while playing games.Music of games is too amazing.I love the music of games.It is so entertaining and lovable. ________________________________ live casino timwebuk If anyone uses Spotify, I've got a playlist that's full of a weird array of music that I use for poker.  Some is mellow, some is heavy, mainly lounge music. http://open.spotify.com/user/omfgtim/playlist/3qmrRxMdHW9sU9vBzcATds        Tagpoker Forum Forum Index -> Tagpoker Lounge Page 1 of 1
