Either music or a WWII movie. I usually pick one that doesn't have too many distracting scenes or sounds but I do find myself watching most of the movie anyway.

Jeff-- like Victory At Sea?

I hate commercials, so it's something that I've seen a billion times, just enough to keep me building. Like PATTON, BOB, or even Band Of Brothers. Like I said, I end up watching most of it anyway. I haven't seen "Victory At Sea" but I did like "The Enemy Below".

Music? Most rock from the 70's and 80's. KISS, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Boston, Van Halen, etc, etc. Usually placed on shuffle play so the list is unexpected.

what do you do to distract you during the more repetitive and tedious efforts of building?

Usally have my MP3 pluged in and listen to all sorts of stuff like Danko jones Finger eleven,Hadouken,Story of the year all that sort of stuff.

Watch the neighbours' cats stalking each other. Or now that it's dark in the evenings, go and read a book for a bit 'til I get the feeling back in my fingers - building a Trumpeter KV at the moment so there is a good deal of sanding. Followed by more sanding.

Nothing more relaxing than the entire Pink Floyd catalogue on random play.

DJ,

Well, I teach all day.
So it is nice to do something I choose to do and not pay attention while someone ELSE talks for a change...

I've got too much random music on the iPod to shuffle.. imagine getting into the fiddliest bits of an Aber set and have some old heavy metal come blasting directly into your brain.
Doesnt work for me.

sometimes Bob Segar, some Warren Zevon, but even that on shuffle has wide ranges of rhythm.

Mostly podcasts.

usually with the tv droning on . But I have to say I might try the Trance music I have some never thought of listening to it while building. when it is music I usually listen to 80's stuff. or Adult alternative

I assume those are "musical" groups....shows how far behind the times I am!

I get very little time at my work bench lately and so I'm trying (not necesarily succeeding )to get away from distractions

while building I am almost always watching one of two TV's and playing poker on the internet. Don't get alot of any of the three done but it keeps me very busy

What kind of music? I imagine it isn't that heavy metal stuff or is it?
