What are you listening when you are playing chess??

And duct tape is silver :D
lol jk

hmm... i suppose it depends on the mood im in... sometimes ill listen to music (pop) and sometimes ill play in silence... ;)
It's absolutely random what I listen to during any activity what requires me to think, but recently I listen a lot to OSTs of games I play to concentrate. It enhances my performance during a match.

A great example of an OST I love to listen to would be www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V9zxXN1rx0 .
I got a new sound card today. Sound blaster z. Makes a huge difference. I went from having a SB xfi xtremegamer, to using on board Realtek alc892, to this z. Get one!
When i study i listen to Classics(for last month i've been listening to Mozart paino sonatas, Vivaldi before that), but when i play i usually dont listen to anything, its just too intense, emotions are flying:) I play bullet or blitz usually to have fun or practice openings so i can listen to anything, usually 1980-2000 rock, some heavy metal(Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Nightwish, Rammstein, Metallica, Behemoth, Moonspell) or gothic electronic music(synthpop/darkwave/ebm/industrial/powernoise).
While listening to Theathre of Tragedy, my games also ended in tragedy... :-)

Perhaps I should consider Tool or Therapy?
