This thread is cracking me up! Who would have thought...a bunch of farmgirls listening to music on the web?!?! How wonderful is all of this. I love pandora as well. I found it through another blog that I read. I am a huge fan of Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Macy Grey, Gypsy Kings (latin), Ben Folds, Pasty Cline and lots and lots more...I have a very eclectic taste as well.

I wanted to bump this subject up because it is so interesting to me. I love all sorts of music, so what I listen to while crafting varies greatly...could be classical, or some old bluegrass gospel, a little Bing Crosby or Benny Goodman to get the fingers flying, or I can feed the guilty pleasure and listen to my "totally 80's" cd!
So ladies what do you listen to whilst you are being crafty??

This is neat! I thought I was strange myself for having different music for different things! I really love my Ipod but I must have one of the most varied music on it. When I am sewing (new to that) I love to listen to Celtic music. When I'm cooking, I usually listen to rock and dance. The beat helps turns chopping stuff up and bopping around the kitchen into aerobic exercise! It cracks the girls up!
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. ~anon |

Sherry, I'm kinda like you~for sewing(or more stationary things) I like the smoother stuff like Loreena McKennitt, but if I'm baking or cleaning hair bands of the 80's is fun~I just turn on Sirius TV on DISH network and pick a genre.
Metallica/classic Rock when I'm driving. LOL

The Be Good Tanyas have been quite inspirational for me in the sewing room. Most anything of the singer/songwriter genre...storytellers who happen to play a little music.
I also love NPR. Podcasting my favorite NPR shows and listening to them at my convenience has been helpful too.

I love to work very late at night or even into the early morning hours when the house is quiet & still. Music never even occurred to me, which is funny, because I almost always have something playing any other time. I listen to mostly rock, and loud...so maybe not the most conducive to sewing. 
I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance even if I'm the only one...

My music taste can vary wildly with my mood or what I am doing. I like anything from oldies to a CD I bought called "African Groove" (very feel-good). But this summer I had a wonderful, new customer who spends his summer here on the westcoast. He is a composer and musician. I'm not entirely sure how to explain his music genre (new age??), but you can sample his music... http://www.aeoliah.com . It's called "Music for Healthy Living" and is especially wonderful after a hectic day.

I usually listen to my cds. Ihave my 80's rock - I love those hair bands..lol and my country music. When the mood strikes, I'll listen to some celtic or classical. Strange mix, huh? But I'm wild and crazy like that..lol :)
