Music you listen to while going through cards, ripping packs, being on the board...

Guru

I would really like to know what music you like to listen to while going through your cards or participating in other aspects of the hobby. Right now I'm listening to the Yoshida Brothers- Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix). You're probably wondering, "What the heck?!" If you've seen the Nintendo Wii commericals, it's the song on that. What do you listen to?

When I rip packs, I normally do it while watching a game.
Don't know why it's always been my thing.

Normally during a game. Baseball is the best because you don't really have to watch.

But if music... Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, or Todd Snider...

Something mellow. I tend to get a little tilty when I rip packs-- constantly b**ching about how this HOFer is OC, or that one has a gum stain, etc-- so I usually go the Gordon Lightfoot-Chris Whitley-Indigo Girls route. I can't imagine listening to Sabbath or something like that; I'd probably go berserk.

Me too! Mellow is better, in case I drop a card and want to fume. Usually I have an oldies station on, all the songs predate me, but then so do most of my cards - they seem to go together, and I enjoy them.

Usually tons of Dylan, Grateful Dead (been on a huge PigPen kick lately), Beatles, Beach Boys, Tom Petty or Tom Waits, but I recently purchased a set of those old Union 76 45's of my man Vin Scully chatting up various members of the 1965/66 Dodgers, so I've had those playing on the turntable. Only problem is that I always end up listening to the interview and the canned sounds of batting practice in the background instead of looking at the cards in my hand. Would be nice to convert those interviews over to CD at some point...
