Mostly NPR, but if the nascar is going i'll go with that. Ga, Ga. Teck or TSU take presidence over all of them. Alabama is going all the way this year. :ddb:

Being a bit of a killjoy, I listen to nothing other than what the machine is telling me.

I make too many mistakes as it is, without being distracted from what I am doing. A sure sign of old age creeping in.

A grumpy old man in the making.

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

The shop is equipped with TV, VCR, DVD, CD Cassette Tape, Phone, Computer, Radio.  While I can listen to Limbaugh or Hannity or NPR's left-wing equivalents while cleaning the shop or assembling details, I usually have Classical music from an NPR affiliate or my own collection on in the background when designing or machining.

If I'm just working as opposed to needing complete concentration I usually have an audio book on an Ipod.

Problem I have found is that unless I choose a music compilation I get annoyed with radio with all the endless talking and adverts.
If I choose a music compilation I play it a few time, get fed up and don't bother to do a new one.
I hate albums as I get tired of hearing the same group over and over even though I like them.

Just finished listening to Jeff Waynes "War of the World" narrated by Richard Burton, Followed by a Clive Custler adventure.
