[god of rubic 2]

I got my 10.30 PB while listening to "Every teardrop is a waterfall" by Coldplay.

Love their songs.

Anyone else into ambient/drone music?

 

[Ickathu]

Soundtracks are good. Especially stuff like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.

Duel of the Fates is epic for cubing

 

[Ickathu]

Most songs in Star Wars are, but yes. Duel of the Fates is exceptionally good. I also like Jedi Temple March.

[Petro Leum]

epic music (move soundtracks, classical, TSFH) makes feel cubing epic (just like everything else )

 

[wizH]

Some sweet liquid dubstep from GoingQuantum and I'm set!

 

[Cheese11]

For me now, it's pretty much anything with Jack White in it, his music gets me so pumped.

 

[Kyooberist]

Gangnam Style

EDIT: Korea,Bubble pop, Right now, It`s art,This town ain`t big enough for the both of us.

 

[applemobile]

Anything that is less that 16-bit or has gameboys used as instruments.

Am I the only person who just doesn't listen to music? Like, I can appreciate a good song, but music in the background while I do anything (study, cubing, games) just distracts me. Listening would have to be the primary thing I'm doing, and I just have other things I'd rather focus on...

 

[ottozing]

I'm exactly the same Jason. Whenever I'm doing cubing sessions (anything from 5 to 500 solves) I find that I do a lot better when I don't listen to music. I experimented with listening to music while cubing for a while, but I found that I'm actually faster when I don't listen to music.

Have you tried listening to music before you cube? Apparently, music stimulates your brain, so you are faster for a short time. I believe this is called the Mozart effect (I think because people found that listening to Mozart's music made your brain peform better, although this works with any music)
