Tying flies and listening to music

Recommended Posts

I usually listen to NPR while I tie. I enjoy "This American Life" and get the chance to hear the NPR national newscasts and chuckle at liberals. It's soothing. All jokes aside, I do enjoy listening to college radio and other alternative sources while I tie. At work and while driving, I'm a speed metal kinda guy....I guess music does soothe the savage beast in many ways....go figure..

yeah NPR often.

 

having something to listen to while tyin' is critical for me!

 

if i have a lot of tying to do- i usually go with something faster- w/ lots of energy- like Bad Religion, Swinging Utters, ACDC, etc...

 

if i'm just chillin' and stockin' flies away- maybe something mellow- like Sam Beam- 'Iron and Wine', Neil Halstead, etc... and like BDH said- NPR.

 

tyin' to music- great therapy!

My daughters commented I need music or tv. I have an area in our finished attic where I tie. Due to the sloped cielings besides tupperware containers I am the only thing up there. My reply for the music or tv is that I like the silence and looking out the window when I tie.

The MGMT album leaked over the internet not too long ago. We just got the album at the station onf Friday and it will be released in stores the 13th of

April. It's highly anticipated and I love it! Almost better than Oracular Spectacular.

I just got an iPod iTouch. I love the 80s, Rush, Metallica, Kix, hair bands, Black eyed Peas, Joan Jett crap like that. I will say that Orvis has a nice Podcast reference fly fishing which I will listen to. All of these really depends on whether or not I can get my iPOD away from my wife.
