I'm kerning, for which I find I need something upbeat (to keep my brain active) but consistent (so I'm not distracted). Five Chumbawumba CDs in rotation does the trick.
I've been streaming Air America Radio for the past two weeks. I can't seem to get over having a lefty talk radio network on tap. Other than that, I find that I've been in the mood for the New Pornographers a lot recently.

Not too interested in music these days, so I work in (relative) silence.
For the more repetitive font chores, like kerning, I'll put on some classical piano. Messiaen's "Vingt regards sur l'enfant Jesus" is preferred. It's very long...

In the 'esoteric multitasking' category, I spent several days around Easter designing Thai letters while improving my ecclesiastical Latin by singing along with Gregorian chant CDs.

M. Alyce Barker are you saying that we are 'wrong' for listening to something new(er)? I don't have a problem with bashing people's tastes, I do have a problem with bashing people's time.
It's like the earlier thread about the way language is destroyed/deteriorating, language has always been destroyed, the previous generation will always hate the way youngsters use language. And the music they listen to. And the way they dress. And the amount of metal they choose to ram through their bodies.
BTW. I'm listening to 2Raumwohnung 'Kommt zusammen' now.
"M. Alyce Barker are you saying that we are 'wrong' for listening to something new(er)?"
Kenn, No. Sorry it read that way. I was teasing -- bashing anyone was not my intent. The happy face and quote marks around rant are supposed to mean I'm not serious; I fully expected to be teased back about being a music dinosaur, which I am.
Yeah, you know, at the risk of getting myself in more trouble, never a huge Elvis fan. Ditto Bob Dylan. They were huge -- mega-important -- but not my cup of tea.
I am being exposed to some different (newer) music (as well as massive doses of NPR) by my new office mates so perhaps there's hope for me yet.
Speaking of music 'dinosaurs', I've been listening to some Rush lately (specially 'Moving Pictures'). And a few weeks ago I finally discovered PIL's 'Second Issue'. The 'Swan Lake' song is just great.
Alyce, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only dinosaur around. Most of these youngsters are too hip for me.
I must confess that my popular music development was effectively arrested in the late 80s when I lived in an ashram. When I listen to anything with lyrics, it's most likely to be nostalgic. Plenty of James. Cat. Paul & Art.
Or Elvis (C, not P). Sometimes Sting Andy & Stewart. Or even David Jerry Tina & Chris (anyone remember them?).
More often than not, however, it'll be purely instrumental -- Wolfgang, Joseph, Ludwig. Or Antonin, Camille, Sergei.
