RSLR Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Good Morning,What it says in the title really, I thought I would start a thread out of curiosity and interest.I found myself at the work bench painting, specifically painting figures more recently. Naturally there's a computer on one side of my bench so I usually have the RMweb up for regular inspiration and Facebook, although I've been listening to music and a internet radio station with it too.I'd usually listen to Chopin or Debussy while painting models and my 1940s playlist the rest of the time - Which has some obscure (I'll only list a few of the ones you may of heard of here) and more well known 'artists' from the period like Glenn Miller, Helen Forrest, The Andrews Sisters, Benny Goodman, Al Bowlly, Tommy Dorsey and Vera Lynn... I really like listening to Vera Lynn, I can listen to her for hours. Or I'd occasionally listen to the 1940sukradio while doing other things, additionally I have a friend who streams occasionally on Facebook with a similar I dare say it 'themed' radio station, although this has the added advantage of putting in requests.I don't think I'm the only one, I have a friend who does garden railways and he'd sit down in his shed or workshop rather while listening to the same radio station as me.I know everyone has different tastes but put simply I was wandering does anyone else listen to music while modelling? And what do you like to listen to? Do you listen to music for different tasks?Cheers, Reece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phixer64 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 When modelling/airbrushing and anything small, when not running the layout (iTunes is on and I listen to Costa del Mar radio station, its amazing just by having a few sounds in the background, how much work can be done.

Tony Davis Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I listen to an internet radio station, True Blues, just music and no talking. I find the inane chatter of most D.J's to be intensely irritating. Apart from Ken Bruce when Pop Master is on, but then I don't do modelling when Pop Master is on.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted July 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2017 I suppose I'm fairly boring and 'low brow', I tend to have ClassicFM on as background to whatever I am doing, modelling included. Now if I was listening to music, that would be a different matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are these high brow people the ones with painted on brows like the woman I saw a while back? Hers were at least half an inch above normal position, didn't half look starttled though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted July 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2017 No music allowed in operating sessions as it interferes with my chuff chuff pssht noises, but I model to Groove Salad from Soma FM internet radio. This is chillout ambient and probably unusual for a person of my age and background, but it is soothing and does not require any mental input from me; you can't listen to it as you'd go insane with boredom, but it is a calming noise. I use it to go to sleep to sometimes as well. But I wish internet stations would not describe themselves as 'bla bla FM'. They're not FM, it's just wrong!

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted July 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2017 Well if that's low brow, wonder where Planet Rock comes in some people's estimation? Don't care anyway:-) Planet Rock for me with all the varieties that comes with that. If not Planet Rock then something through the headphones of a similar nature. For example last night my fettling of an ex L&SWR M7 was accompanied somewhat incongruously by some Finnish power metal in the form of Stratovarius.........

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted July 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2017 My workbench CD player finally decided that it had had enough knocks, solvent splatters and sawdust bombardments and stopped working, so it's just Radio 2 for me. Since my modelling sessions tend to be an hour or two around mid-evening, it's usually Jo Whiley on the weekdays. Personally I can listen to just about any music when I'm modelling. I do try to get a couple of hours in on Sunday afternoon as I particularly enjoy Sounds of the Seventies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free At Last Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I don't like a lot of music and the little I do like I like to sit and listen to, not have it on in the background while I am doing something. In the background I prefer to have a talk station on, local radio or LBC except when James O'Brien is on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you use talk radio in the same way that I use Groove Salad, which I'm sure you'd be driven mad by! An ex girlfriend used to go to sleep to audiobook tapes of 'Just William' which kept me awake for hours because I wanted to listen to the story...

Zomboid Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I like to have music on most of the time, and I'm another lowbrow rock type - planet rock much of the time, but lots of Iron Maiden and Cheap Trick lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A steady diet of mainly punk rock, with some forays into summer '67 and '68 garage pop and Northern soul classics for balance. Music and modelling are symbiotic in my world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted July 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2017 I just sing to myself, loudly - it keeps the rest of the family from bothering me when I'm modelling. Bit tough on them though if I'm using the kitchen table... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Boar Fell Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A mix of 60s/70s & 80s with the odd instrumental thrown in, the occasional bit of Northern Folk too. Although at the moment the Guardians' Mix Tapes are getting played quite a bit. Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
