I have two teenage boys in the house...quiet is too precious a commodity to throw away by injecting noise into my head, especially while tying...or fishing.

I just picked up an Ipod and play it once in awhile when I tie. Oldies, heavy metal, some gospel .. a bit of everything.

I have a computer in my tying room and play itunes off of that to some speakers.... I would likely cut the headphone cable if I wore them while tying. Surprisingly I listen to the Grateful Dead while tying, usually something from 1977...if I want to crank out a lot of flies, I'll got for something late '60s with pigpen playing prominently ... sometimes I burn some incense to with the atmosphere.... my tying room is my man room and my wife allows me to hang my dead posters etc in there..... but I digress.

Patchouli? Nag Champa?

I don't have a ipod. During baseball season or college basketball season, I'll turn on a game while tying. I don't really watch, I just listen. If there isn't a game on, I listen to radio from Guam or South Africa over the internet.

I have been known to put on the big headphones and turn em up. I like the surround sound to kind of tune it all out. I hook them up to my ipot and slide it under my shirt so the cord doesnt get in the way. Listening to music definately speeds everything up and allows me to concentrate. I like it pretty far on the rock spectrum. Ben harper, dave matthews, jawbox, the bronx, machine head and even mastadon.(although crack the skye wasnt all that great imo) I even listen to some jazzy pat metheny.

Pretty much most of the time I listen to mine. If I am marathon tying than I will put on something heavy and fast. If I am trying to take my time I will listen to "ole blue eyes" and keeps me calm and steady.
