Favorite song to listen to during long hours of doing nothing except collecting dust.

[Ben]

Well? Whats your favorite?

I kinda like "Crawling in the Dark" by Hoobastank but i also like "Damn it Feels Good To Be a Gangsta" by the Geto Boys

[Dusty]

I don't often have long hours of nothing to do. However, let me describe a little ritual of mine:

After maybe three or four continuos hours of programming something I'll stand up from my desk, allowing my chair to roll backwards a bit, say out loud "time for a break", pause for a moment and try to remember what "a break" is, sit back down and spin around a couple times (I never tire of that), minimize all the windows open and blankly stare at the desktop until the screen goes black, lean back and pull out the little lever-thing that makes the chair recline, and just lie there for five or ten minutes in in silence in the dark (apart from the monitor and dim desk lamp I always keep my office dark. I don't actually know why I have an overhead light, it's never on. The window is closed off with heavy shutters, I don't like sunlight indoors, especially not while working). Then I'll sit back up and move the mouse around to get the desktop back, try to remember where I left off, draw a total blank, and start to work on something else. With luck I'll remember what I was doing in a couple days.

Now, extended breaks, I actually go outside for those. I normally either sit on the porch swing (which is actually hanging from two trees, not the porch) for an hour or so or drift around on my small boat in the semi-artifical (it's real water from a real stream in real dirt, so it's only semi) pond for a couple hours. Those are in silence, too, apart from natural sounds.

Vacation length breaks, those are spent largely in either a floating hotel room on a ship or a nailed-to-the-ground hotel room in a hotel. In the later, I usually try to find American TV programs dubbed into whatever crazy language the country I'm in speaks. In the former the TV is in English so I just sit out on the balcony a look at the water. So, one of those is silent and the other might as well be.

I'm a very dull, dull person.

So what was I getting at? Oh yes, when I've nothing to do I don't like sound.

I seldom sit around and collect dust. If I am, it means i am playing music, or sleeping.

I do, however, always have some music on while I am at the computer. For those long monotonous all night tasks, I put on the Dark Side of the Moon album, or Atom Heart Mother.

Well, unfortuantely, when I'm at work (when I excel at doing nothing), I have no control over the music being played. So you get a mix between Sinatra and Manilow, and hardcore retro.

It's kinda weird when the music goes from New York New York, to Whip It, to some Britney Spears, to Dire Straits, to Van Halen.
