Random depressing music.

I recommend listening to the above.

Also, anything by Elliott Smith.

Hi, i'm new here, so i'm going to introduce my self a bit, my name is Javier, i'm from Buenos Aires Argentina (SouthAmerica) 26 years old, designer, oil painter.
Cubing since may of this year using Friedrich, i average 29.xx, my PB is 22.33 without skips.
I'm a true music lover, a melomaniac... this is why i made this post.
I see a lot of good cubers in youtube making solves with earplugs and i was wondering what kind of music did they heard.
I notice that music without lyrics are the best for solves, and i think that really speedy music is great for speedy solvings.
I want to know your preferences and what do you think about the lyrics and the speed, good, bad... let me know you oppinion.
Ok guys (and girls of course)... thats all... sorry for my poor english.

For speedcubing.
Noisia - Stigma

Aphex Twin - Afx237 v7

And for blindsolving.

ochre - 111

Casino Versus Japan - Warm Windows

I don't think music affects cubing significantly.

EDIT: But I prefer to listen to something when I cube (http://www.lastfm.com/user/Johan444). For blind I find music distracting.

 

[botanicals]

Yeah maybe it's not "really" significantly, but if you prefer it, its for a reason, i dont know, maybe you feel more confortable or whatever, and these kind of stuff increase the accuaracy i think, but my main though is that the speed of the music is relevant, i feel like someone is hurry me up haha... obvioulsy its something personal, thanks for the comment and BTW, nice band "The Saddest Landscape", i used to listen a lot of hardcore in my early years.

[~Phoenix Death~]

U & I from K-ON!!

 

[Lorken]

Save me - Avenged sevenfold
The cabal - Elvenking
Dawn of Victory - Rhapsody of Fire
Sound of Madness - Shinedown

They're basically my victory songs, they are playing when I'm doing something awesome, or if I recently have done something awesome and I want to feel epicer.

 

[abctoshiro]

Nightmare, Beast and the Harlot, All Things will End, Afterlife, Chapter Four. All from A7X. Gets my fingers moving.

Also, God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. And also Lost my Music.

I love really fast solos.

 

[emolover]

For me it would be Mindless self indulgence, sevendust, helloween, and My chemical romance.

 

[rubiksczar]

[4.]

Stuff I listen to:

The Doors
Nirvana
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Deep Purple
Iron Butterfly

Stuff I don't listen to:

Metallica
Techno
Rap
R&B
and pretty much everything mainstream

 

[Pieterva]

quiet music like reggae and rock

 

[The Bloody Talon]

parokya ni edgar
eraserheads

i know you don't know them..

 

[Karth]

I need very 'thick' metal. Just so the music fills everything, if that makes any sense. Some avant-garde metal works awesomely also, preferably a really absurd band.
Some of my favorites: Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Adagio, Dream Theater, Unexpect, Divina Enema, Mesuggah, Gojira, In Mourning, Týr and Kokumaromilk

Edit: and dethklok haha

 

[osrubikmo]

Black holes and revelations (muse)

 

[Johan444]

I phooken love lastfm: http://www.lastfm.com/user/Johan444

When I cube I listen to whatever I usually listen to.

It looks like right now I'm into Emo/Screamo, dubstep, hip hop and noise.
