[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[KubeKid73]

http://www.youtube.com/themidnightbeast These songs are great. But they're very inappropriate. I'm rating them PG-13.

wow Eminem is great. my last 13 solves were done listening to When I'm Gone and Cleaning Out My Close and 10 of them were sub-15. good for me.

This is kind of catchy. A little bit better than average but possibly not because of the music. Oh and you have to watch the video (not while your cubing of course). The Office is so funny http://www.hulu.com/watch/105338/the-office-subtle-sexuality-the-music-video

Music?

John Cage's 4'33".

Listening to music usually slows me down. I find myself incapable of "ignoring" the music. I end up concentrating more on the music than the cube, and my lookahead and recognition go all to crap. 4'33" however, is an exception. I don't believe it has ever distracted me at all...

I tried techno thinking it fit with cubing, then tried classic rock, because that's what I like. I found I get slower times with every type of music. So I guess silence is my answer.

Try Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. It actually works a bit like a metronome in my head. o.0

If I play music while cubing its probably metal or trance music. I find Infected Mushroom helps me do math homework. But really, I try not to listen to music while cubing because I won't be able to in competition.

 

[Kirjava]

Something fast if I'm speedsolving, something slow if I'm doing BLD.

Nothing specific really. There is too much good music to name, and I refuse to tie myself down to even a group of genres or bands.

 

[Edward]

Beatboxers, and JSRF music .

 

[Weston]

Music?

John Cage's 4'33".

XD
About 20 other musicians and I performed this at a college near my house. It was a concert for 20th century abstract music.
The program included a concerto for an imaginary trumpet, and another piece called "In C" which is very cool if you want to check it out.

Try Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. It actually works a bit like a metronome in my head. o.0

Try Ligeti's Metronome Symphony.

I'll admit that this piece is rather ridiculous, but his piano etudes are awesome. I played no.13.

30 seconds to mars

this in specific

 

[Drax]

Trance techno usually works best.
Stuff with lyrics just mess me up cause I concentrate more on the lyrics than cubing.
