I was blown away by your stellar taste in punk, your playlist is about 80% similar to mine. Bands like Streetlight and NOFX I find have that tempo that allows you to slightly zone out and bounce along at the same time.

I’m afraid that I’m a sucker for italian dance music. I listen to http://www.italiandancenetwork.com/ exclusively, every moment of the day. I even rip the stream and burn CD’s from it, so that I can play them in those rare situations where I don’t have Internet access. In my car, for example.

I love music so much that I *can’t* code to it. The problem is that music is not just background noise to me. When I listen to it, I *listen* to it, and it completely distracts me from forming logical thoughts. The same would go with watching TV or something like that while trying to code. On the other hand, I *can* code in a crowded coffee shop with people talking around me, since that really is just background noise.

I listen to a variety of stuff for coding. I don’t hear so well so I have a tendency to prefer stuff with a lot of bass, so Metallica and Daft Punk are particular favorites there.

I also took up swing dancing last year, so I listen to a lot of swing/big band/jazz classics and also neo-swing like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy — they fit the “lots of bass” criteria pretty well because they love their drums.
