🦞 Lob Ster I used to listen to whatever was familiar on repeat -- one year I listened to Sufjan Steven's Christmas album for most of the year! Now I mostly listen to lo-fi hip hop or cafe jazz music , although I'm trying to get used to silence.

🧨 Stephen Coley Code Orange's new album is nuts. Love it. Been a long time Converge and The Bled fan. The Bled was my first hardcore show along with Senses Fail and My Chemical Romance for like $12. I miss those days.

🚲 Koen West Recently I have started to use a particular combination of ambient noises with the app Dark Noise (which I can highly recommend), and I now notice that it really gets me in the zone. I have different noises set up for different tasks.

👤 Xy i like having twitch irl streams running in the background that i don't need to pay attention to. it gives me that coffee shop vibe i miss, which i know not everyone enjoys, but works for me.

👤 Xy i really enjoy bike touring, so right now i have twitch.tv/hitch in the background. he's cycling across canada, currently on day #19 of a ~3mo journey. i also like twitch.tv/healthygamer_gg who is a harvard trained psychiatrist discussing mental health issues with streamers.

👤 Xy i have only done one long, unsupported tour around the pacific nw with a group of buddies, but i ride pretty frequently around my current city. once it's easier and safer to travel internationally, my dream is to ride the silk road. i purchased my current touring bike (miyata 1000lt) used for about $500 a decade ago from a really nice guy off craigslist who had ridden it from london to singapore.
