One of the cool things about my job is that I get to work from home a fair amount, which in turn means I have a decent amount of control over my workplace ambiance.
So, that means I like to have a good soundtrack for while I work. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Abducted by Sharks, which is cyberpunk-influenced industrial. But other favorites are the Social Network soundtrack, some good trip hop (e.g. Portishead), or what have you.
But I could always use more! What do y'all listen to if you need to get some homework or programming done?
Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz mixes are my favorite for working. Really groovy, beautiful transitions and little to no lyrics. Mushroom Jazz 4 is my favorite, but he has 8 out and they're all incredible
