I turn it and open a particular door. The thing is that I'm never utterly convinced whether it is me choosing the music or if it is the music that is choosing me. <BR/><BR/>That sentence probably makes no sense to you. I just threw it in there for discombobulating purposes.

Most of the time, when I need to concentrate in things like reading or doing reports, I really need peace and quiet. Music becomes an annoying distraction.<BR/><BR/>On the flip side, when I'm doing dull things like data entering, music really does help set a good rhythm for me, which in ensures a good smooth pacing.G.

Enjoyed the explanation of controlled noise.<BR/><BR/>And as a historian I'm also with you on those who critique the present while imagining a perfect past. Never was such a thing. But the yogis I know aren't really wired to think historically. Heck, a lot of other people aren't either.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Lou Reed quotes. I don't own any of his albums except the banana one, because there used to be a time when it was easy to hear his music online, at a friend's place, or whatever.
