I just wrote a blog asking a similar question. For me, anything with lyrics is distracting. But I can still listening to (some) instrumental music, which blanks out OTHER distractions. But since I’m a musician, if the music carries me into a “jamming with it in my head” mode, it’s counter productive, since it’s another kind of distraction. Sometimes silence works for me, but not usually.

Same thing if I’m writing a first draft (with the exception of the Morphine-inspired novel I’m working on, when I listen exclusively to that band to inspire my fiction). But when I’m revising I can listen to pretty much anything.

when i saw them a few years ago it was the closest thing i’ve ever had to a religious experience. as they closed the show they said “you guys are a great crowd, any of you want to follow us up to vancouver?” and i very nearly did, haha.

If it’s on though, my head is swirling along with every little nuance, inflection, phrase, whatever. You’re lucky man.
