Subject: Do you listen to music while painting or modelling?
I've taken up podcasts while I'm painting, usually 40k Radio or World's End Radio. If no podcasts, I listen to:
Fall Out Boy
Panic at the Disco
Cobra Starship
Jimmy Eat World
Mostly newer alt rock, completely different from you heavy metal people!
I listen to a mixture on my MP3 player:
Misfits
Motorhead
Nick Cave
Themes from various horror films
Dimmu borgir
Ancient
Jonathan Coulton
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Guns and Roses
GWAR

I don't listen to music while working, usually, since it's not convenient. In a little over a month I'll have moved into my new place, with my hobby space in the bedroom, making it easy to play CDs, stream web-radio, watch movies (we don't bother with cable), etc. as I work, which I will undoubtedly do.

While I don't listen to music while I paint, my modus operandi lately has been to play Robotech videos via Hulu in the background while I paint. Only problem is that after a couple hours, I get the Robotech music stuck in my head.
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

I go back and forth. Sometimes in silence and sometimes listening to http://www.musicofyourlife.com/ . A lot of the standards, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, big band type era stuff. A lot more relaxing since painting is a lot more focused slow task in the first place. All the metal listed along with the techno, trance, and eurobeat I like to listen to when I'm working out or doing something involving moving. But would just seem too fast for me for painting, I'll have to give it a try sometime though. I've tried to paint while having webcast seminars playing with mixed results. Thanks for the links to the internet radio sites. Only two I currently use are the Music of your Life's and Pandora.

Anything interesting without any lyrics, because I hold my paintbrushes in my mouth. sometimes shuffle, sometimes soundtracks from LotR, Avatar and The Matrix.
