Loads, and loads, and loads, and loads of podcasts. Mostly podcasts about movies, comics, news, and cooking (though there are exceptions.) I put an ear bud in my left ear (my dad, who is not an expert in such things, thinks it has to do with the left-brain/right brain split, in that my right brain is bored with the job I do, and so it needs to be entertained.) They do make the time pass. <br /><br />But they also help when I'm working on my own things in the office, as well. Most of my creative projects are at the point where they require more "mechanical" work (for lack of a better way to put it) than the fun creative stuff. I still enjoy it much more than the work I do for WebMD.

I'm loosing the zillion of details flying around and drift off when I listen.<br /><br />But talk radio is nice! Not the super-excited lafflaff babble (ISR excluded), but someone with a good flow to their talk. <br />These days it's mostly silence. Too much noise in ma head anyway.<br /><br />On more calm days, with not so much paperwork buzzing in my head next to the drawing thoughts, I can dig Kenan's take on music - it's pretty much the same for me. The sound helps shelling in with your ideas, I guess.LOOKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572300877413904267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974012.post-27575914807773075772009-12-02T22:47:23.711-05:002009-12-02T22:47:23.711-05:00By the way, kenan is a cartoonist...By the way, kenan is a cartoonist...Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333774834458788336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974012.post-37309161576933884682009-12-02T22:46:55.705-05:002009-12-02T22:46:55.705-05:00Huh, I have a really hard time doing anything with...Huh, I have a really hard time doing anything with music on, if the music has lyrics.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333774834458788336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974012.post-47272190369352580732009-12-02T21:03:11.896-05:002009-12-02T21:03:11.896-05:00i work to a carefully calibrated and constantly-ev...i work to a carefully calibrated and constantly-evolving playlist, the tenor of which, i find, has a discernible impact on what ultimately gets made. curating the list is a delicate business: too exciting, and i can't hear myself think; too quiet, and i have to listen to every damn thought.kenanhttp://www.underthehaystack.netnoreply@blogger.com
