I'm listening to that SICP theme that was posted either here or on /code/. It's the jingle which played at the beginning of the sicp lectures, but transformed into some scooterish techno shit, it's actually quite cool.

The song itself is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach. In case you were wondering.

Not 10, but it's actually my favorite classical piece.

That's it, that's the piece! I can't believe it, /prog/ is finally useful.

That's an atrocity against mankind. There is a limit to my tolerance for cultural diversity.

II Air- Orchestral Suite No.3 in D Major, BWV.1068 by J.S.Bach is an all-time favorite of mine.

Listening to my stack of chiptunes ripped from various keygens,
though i do not mind listening to classical music, too.
It seems that /prog/ agrees that instrumental music is the only thing that works for coding. I tend to get distracted if there is any voice in the music

I listen to classical radio (http://di.fm/ - Mostly Classical), Nectarine (chiptunes; http://www.scenemusic.eu/) and sometimes piano jazz (di.fm again).

Music speaking my language distracts me too.

This is funny, some two years ago I could still listen to audiobooks (in English, not my native language) when coding. Now I get distracted too easily.
Beethoven and some game OSTs do the trick for me today.
I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it 'the sussman'. First I crouch down in the shower in the classic 'I put on my robe and wizard hat' pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Sussman or Abelson and I start to hum the SICP theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless EXPERT PROGRAMMER. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my sussman leg. It ruins the fantasy.

It's just a trance/techno version of joy of man's desiring
