<p>Curious to know what others listen to if anything.</p>

<p>Lately it has been:
Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Glenn Gould</p>

<p>Danny Elfman, James Newton Howard, Jan AP Kaczmarek</p>

<p>Sufjan Stevens, Jack Johnson, The Decemberists</p>

2

<p>Rap. /<em>comment</em>/</p>

<p>Personally music distracts me, but it does relive me of stress after studying for 3 straight hours. When doing that, I listen to Happa-tai, mostly to the song Yatta (hence my username)</p>

4

<p>Beirut. Yann Tierson. Sufjan Stevens. Gershwin.</p>

5

<p>Porcupine Tree, Tool, Opeth.. whatever tickles my fancy.</p>

6

<p>Techno and Trance.</p>

<p><em>peace</em></p>

7

<p>Techno is my favorite, sometimes it can be a little distracting though.</p>

8

<p>Tiersen* </p>

<p>Good composer. Goodbye Lenin is amongst my favorite scores.</p>

9

<p>Anything without lyrics ... Words distract me when I'm trying to study ._.</p>

<p>XDDDD That song is hilarious and terrible at the same time. The music video... I advise not watching it if you haven't already. It will most likely short-circuit all the studying you've been doing thus far.</p>

<p>But yeah, generally, music is a bit distracting to me. Peace and quiet is good.</p>

<p>Well, my sister's aquarium is in the study (where I study) so I am currently listening to the sound of its water pump or filter or something...it sounds like a mini waterfall. The waterfall noise can be either soothing or REALLY annoying; it depends what kind of mood I'm in. </p>

<p>As far as music goes, I am not a very discerning music enthusiast. I pretty much like it all...besides rap, that is. And -- for the most part, there are some exceptions -- I'm not a big fan of country either.<br>
My favorite study accompaniment right now is a collection of musical music that one of my friends put together for me.</p>

<p>same with lucidity. words totally distract me.</p>

<p>so i go with post-rock. studying for AP gov over the weekend, i was all about explosions in the sky, 65daysofstatic, and a little sigur ros (even though there are words, i can't understand them so it sort of works)</p>
