JimmyDimplesWow… 😮 now THAT'S hang time.
Usually I mute my PC's player so I won't be distracted. But often a good tune can percolate things.
Usually I go for video game BGM… there's a LOT of stuff that sets the mood. For Their Own Good usually has a splash of Weird Al, but mostly the soundtrack from Command & Conquer Generals: both the original and the expansion pack. Zero Hour. Also, the theme "Of Earth And Heaven" from the Left Behind: Eternal Forces soundtrack by Chance Thomas.
China Will Grow Larger? Take a wild guess. 😛
The Dyna story M15+4 H4X0R had Al's "It's All About the Pentiums," "You're Out of the Computer" by Bingo Gazingo and My Robot Friend, and Dr. Robotnick's base's theme from Sonic 3-D Blast for the Sega Saturn.
And Like a Weed and Power Play was a crazy trail mix bag of stuff that I can't properly categorize because I've got a bus for Hong Kong in a few hours. Maybe when I get back!
