listen to music, few drinks of beer or wine in the night hour while doing programming makes life worth living.

While I wasn't doing any programming, I did spend a lot of time tonight listening to
2Cellos,
Alexander James Adams,
The Badpiper,
Celtic Woman,
Jamie Janover,
Meshugga Beach Party, and
Celtica - Pipes Rock. I am not sure why I am mentioning this...

Hi,
I like listening to Vivaldi. It seems unreasonable to me that most people are aware only of his Four Seasons (which by the way are a subset of opus 8 ). I like most of his works of opuses 3, 4, 7 and 8 (especially op. 8 no. 5 which comes just after Winter of the aforementioned Four Seasons) and all of opus 10 (I don't really remember the other opuses as I've sticked mostly with these). Then there are works that I think don't belong to any opus. From those I have heard, I like Concerti di Parigi, RVs 134, 143, 152, 156, 386, 531, 532 and 558. I also like other composers, like Bach and Mozart, but I think Vivaldi takes the lead.
However, when my programming ideas are starved, I like composing baroque music myself, but I of course can't compete with the greats!
Regards,
glauxosdever

Hi,
I'm the opposite way around - Vivaldi has never "done it" for me but I listen to a lot of Bach and Mozart. I do a little composition too but my own stuff isn't good enough to listen to! More often nowadays, though, I listen to Romantic era music - predominantly Chopin. If I'm specifically programming, it will probably be the Chopin nocturnes or preludes.
I play piano, organ and violin and tend to favour playing Romantic pieces on the piano and Baroque (or Folk, or Jazz) on piano and violin. A thread like this makes me wish I actually had some time to practice...
Cheers,
Adam

Pink Floyd could rework that song to reflect the modern world:
Hey, Catholic Priest, Leave those kids alone!

Oddly enough, it did in the past, but it stopped working about 18 months ago. You will note that (on some browsers at least) the region where the video would be rendered is set aside, but left blank.
EDIT: incorrect guess (that it was an anti-spam measure) deleted. It is because this ancient version of PHPBB (3.0, from 2007) expects videos to be served as Flash. This is from the page source for your post:
Code: Select all
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/2uhBcAJYyLY" width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2uhBcAJYyLY" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object></div>
YouTube stopped supporting Flash entirely in June 2017 (having been phasing it out since early 2015), so that explains it.

If I remember my phpBB administering days, and based on the version we have installed, the YouTube markup is something our admins added, so they are also easily capable of fixing it - if anyone can find someone with the right permissions to do that.

Wondering that nobody mentioned "World music" like African or Indian music, "yoga" sounds and sounds of nature.
I love to turn on the sound of the heavy rain with lightning and code while listening to it.

Well,
actually I did, and am happy to repeat the advertising.

Reminds me of a world expert on wasps who could identify the species just from their buzzing sound.
He bought a nature sounds LP (being old fashioned...) and was very disappointed when he got home that he could not identify any species on the record. Turns out he was listening to the B side.
