I check the tv listings to see what is on ANIMAL PLANET. If all animal then I leave it there to keep the dogs company. Other wise they will bark at every little noise like children or the neighbors. If it weren't for them, I would have the tv off. I get too distracted an then get nothing accomplished. I keep the volume low enough for them and so I can't really hear. I love quiet. Miss not living in the country.

I listen to Pandora (internet radio). I have several different "stations" set up, so I can pick a genre of music to match whatever mood I'm currently in. Pandora lets you create custom "radio stations" by picking musicians and/or songs that you like, and then it tries to guess what other music you might like to make up a full playlist of similar music. I keep my wireless mouse next to my machine so if a song comes up that I don't like I can skip past it without having to get up. Sometimes their guesses as to what I'll like are so far off... LOL

I plug in the ipod and whatever mood I am in for the day will dictate my music choice....quiet and melancholy demands Yanni....happy and ambitious requires classic rock (a little Joe Walsh is my favorite)......some days it is country....and some days I let the ipod shuffle it all up.....but I do like my music when sewing!

I too have something going on in the background. It helps drown out my own "mental chatter" which often times is worry generating. I like HGTV because there is no violence and the projects always turn out so well! I love music as long as it's not loud and harsh Adele is so soothing.

Sometimes I have the tv on...it might be football (although I'm not a big fan, I grew up with football on and find it makes nice background company), or cooking shows. At other times it will be music..and that will be whatever mood strikes my fancy...Josh Groban, Dave Matthews, Enya, Windham Hill etc.
