non, makes me concentrate more.
sometimes i put a traning vid on as it helps me stay in a poker mindset and encourages me to think through my decisions.

I like to listen to albums from start to finish while grinding. The modern computer culture means that people tend to listen to individual songs, but an album is basically a single piece, almost a story with a beginning-middle and end. Song order is very important and may be the difference between a good album and a classic! The songs that don't take your fancy if you just skim through suddenly take on meaning this way. Well, if it's a good album that is.

Some of my favs -

Definitely Maybe
Silent Alarm
Illmatic
36 Chambers
Blue Lines
Dummy
Music for The Jilted Generation
Disintegration

Loads more I can't think of!

Serious answer, any 90s eurodance. Gets me so pumped and happy feeling, that when I take a bad beat I just flip off my monitor instead of smashing my keyboard.

I made 5-6 different play lists on GrooveShark.com so depending on my mood, BAM! Big MTTs (>1000 runners) I start off with nice easy beach/reggae music... then when antes kick in, so does the bass & snare! I flip it to some hip-hop/metal/punk/rocknrolla!

I talk through my decisions out loud instead of music, helps me focus, and makes me realize I should fold when I can't even remotely justify a bluff or call.
