1. Do you like to have music playing while you work? Why or why not? If yes, what is your favourite music or type of music to hear then?
I don't like to have music on while I am working on something that requires heavy thinking, like writing. I used to like to have music on while I was studying (unobtrusive stuff like Philip Glass) but I can't multi-track like that anymore. However, if I am doing something that doesn't require thinking about language, like carving a printing block, casting, cooking, or doing something else arty or practical, music is fine.
2. Do you like to have music playing while you travel (walk, drive, ride, etc.)? Why or why not? If yes, what is your favourite music or type of music to hear then?
Like many other people, I like to listen to music on the bus (except I use a cassette walkman; I have no MP3 player). I always carry 4 or 5 tapes with me so I can change them according to my mood. I usually like to listen to high-energy stuff on the way to work as a way to wake up, e.g. right now I have The Clash and the Ramones in my pack. For longer bus trips, I like quieter music like Huun-Huur-Tu. Though the best driving-and-singing music in the world is The Pixies!
3. Do you like to have music playing while you have sex? Why or why not? If yes, what is your favourite music or type of music to hear then?
Uh no, not really. I think it would be distracting. Funny thing though, many of the Japanese hotels I stayed in had a radio built into the headboard of the bed with a switch labelled "BGM". You flipped it over to that and vaguely sleazy muzak came out. That was all right, and I guess that's what it was for.
4. Do you like to have music playing while you're relaxing or having fun? Why or why not? If yes, what is your favourite music or type of music to hear then?
Sure, though I find it difficult to have a conversation when the music's obtrusive (this is why I usually don't go to bars or pubs). I think I have a pretty wide range of tastes (though most of it could be classed as Difficult Listening) so almost anything could be on.
5. In general, what role does music play in your daily life?
35 of my 150 listed interests are bands, and that's just the beginning of my collection. I like music a lot, have done since I was 16. Never used to listen to it at all before, but as soon as I got interested I got right into weird stuff like Devo (well, in 1980 Devo was weird), Kraftwerk and the Residents, and never looked back.
