What do you have playing in the background when you Fluther?

Asked by Blondesjon (33994points) March 1st, 2009

I usually have music from my iTunes library playing or something on the television. How about you folks?

I usually have a couple other windows open (facebook, myspace, mail) and at the moment we’re watching the Rockets basketball game. Something is usually on tv while im fluthering.

Right now, it’s a CD of my daughter playing harp, since she’s no longer around to play it in person. But more often it’s nothing at all.

When I’m on my home computer and Fluthering, I’m usually listening to songs from my iTunes library and sometimes playing Jewel Quest II. I also like to use the Netflix Instant Watching so sometimes I’ll transition between that and Fluther also.

At work and while Fluthering, I watch movies or television or listen to music on my iPod.

My husband. He’s usually playing Civ III about four feet away.

Depends on the time of day. Kids, tv, video games… but my preference is silence. I can no longer listen to music or talk on the phone and type at the same time. I find it too distracting. Does that mean I’m getting old?

jonsblond's avatar

@augustlan If it does, it means that I’m getting old too!

@Blondsjon; This is where punctuation and upper case serve a purpose, as I keep nattering about .I would have written “The Sounds of Silence” for the song. I meant literally the sounds of silence, viz; perhaps the wind soughing or my little creek plashing along and as of yesterday, a few redwing blackbirds making their “kon-ka-REE” call.

Paul and Art were part of my musical youth, however…all those bridges over troubled waters and the herb garden.

recently it’s been Glasvegas. In particular it’s been “Geraldine” by Glasvegas…on repeat.

One of my favorite things about Fluther is that the threads often send me off on musical journeys. Last night I went from Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor to Heart thanks to my fellow jellies.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@Marina – Bach is wonderful, isn’t he?

Either my iTunes or the sound of my roommates talking, which has actually spurred a few interesting questions that I’ve asked on fluther.
