Flytyer Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm doing some tying this afternoon and this question pops into my mind. What does everyone have going on for background noise while tying if anything? I myself load the cds of my 3 favourite albums from Pink Floyd; The Delicate Sound of Thunder, The Division Bell and Pulse. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 itunes on random, so 2100 plus songs...i change them if they're not quite right Explosions in the sky is my band of choice as of late usually im watching a movie though, but then my tying rate plummets Quote
Flytyer Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 I hear you on the watching a movie thing....glad my tying room is not big enough for a tv. Quote

I'm a guitar player and Pink Floyd is my favorite to play. I just love David Gilmour! No Dark Side?? Quote

I have to replace Dark Side it went missing. You just reminded me of Glimour's About Face which is excellent too. When I take a bit of a break I'll pick up my bass and play abit . Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I have the TV going usually. Doesn't matter what show is on. Quote
lonefisher Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I usually just pop my laptop on the table and play through my whole library. Sometime while doing flies that need drying time I will watch a movie as currently I only usually have 3 jawed apparatus's to hold the flies while they dry. Quote

My top 3 would be Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and possibly The Final Cut....big fan of those guys. I recently saw Roger perform DSotM and checked off a life goal tickbox....nice. Quote
ladystrange Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 gotta love the pink floyd!!! i'm with SJW, tv, whatever is on whichever station at the moment. but only when i am house sitting, otherwise, it is the really noisy whiring of my computer - fan is on the way out... Quote
EdB Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 A little Disturbed maybe.... Queens of the stone age. You can't go wrong with a little floyd and some Led Zep though Quote
Inconnu Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I don't know, The Floyd got my wife in trouble in '76 so I just listen to whatever DVD I put on the TV downstairs. Quote

SilverDoctor Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Oldies on the radio. I tie out in the garage in my art studio. Often I take my laptop Mac out there and run through the songs I have in Itunes. Usually to the tune of scampering mice, wifes asking if I want anything, and various son's and friends coming and going stealing my wine. Don't always listen to music it does play in my head. Downside is that the studio is not heated (an extension on my garage) so I need to turn on the heater for 20 minutes in the winter to make it livable. Maybe we should do a posting showing everyones tying area. Quote
ladystrange Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 sounds like a good idea - just took a few pics Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 think of a university students room, with a vice on a incredibly small desk.. thats it.. Quote

Flytyer Posted October 24, 2007 Author Posted October 24, 2007 A wife, kid and a dog. Been there done that but not anymore thank God. Quote
CapeBSalar Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I usually watch fly tying DVD's on my laptop, Troutbum Diaries Patagonia and New Zealand are also high on the top of the list, other movies too when I get tired of the other. Sometimes music, but rarely. Quote
126barnes Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 A wife, kid and a dog. A wife & 3 kids, 4 and under......................I usually get 2 flys max. Quote
