Thought it would be really interesting to receive a few suggestions ... I seem to spend a lot of time listening to these guys on the iplayer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0100rp6

These guys share a really dry sense of humour and a deep knowledge of music - not too FOGGY either : ) Enjoy!

I tend to listen to the playlist that I listen to while skiing. Anything from AC/DC, Coldplay,Metallica, rush, Motrhead, foo fighters, pearl jam, janes addiction, violent femmes, kid rock, nickleback and many others. Anything that is hard rock, grunge, classic rock, alternative.

What Vinman said! and throw in some old school rap.

There's a school of thought that your materials can absorb the energy of music during manufacturing so music during layup could just be the most important element of how your skis/board ride. Pretty sure the guy from Wagner customs is big into this theory.

Yep, Wagner is world class - even their marketing BS : )

Ha! I love this theory!

I put speakers in the ceiling of my shop when I first bought my house, so I've always got music on loud when I'm out there. But I'm a bit of a closet hipster, so my music tends to be things like arcade fire, beirut, magnetic fields... etc

The shop is too noisy so I'd never hear the music anyway. But I usually listen to http://www.mvyradio.com/ when working at home. Used to listen to www.wrnx.com but it just went country 2 weeks ago, and it looks like the website is down. I like country, but in small doses.

Would rather listen to Wagner than Wagner marketing BS!

I love listening to these guys when I'm grinding:

Jerry was a race car driver, drove so goddam fast

Jesus built my hot rod

Wynnona had big brown beaver and she stroked it all the time

The grinding goes faster. And...Primus sucks!

unknownSat Nov 19, 2011 4:43 pm

I agree most of their stuff is terrible but those few songs do rock.

unknownSat Nov 19, 2011 5:16 pm

Vinman, here's a bit of trivia from before your time. The shout out at a Primus concert is "Primus Sucks!" It kinda means the opposite

those guys are genius. Not your average slop and drivel.

I still totally love 'em when I'm base grinding, there's just something about tossing boards through the autofeed or leaning on a bad spot to that. Goes quick haha

just sayin'

Having never seen them in concert I wouldn't have know that, good one. Not before my time though.

Might have to make a Jesus build my hot rod model.

Music ... country ... red solo cup, all in one sentence. I just can't make this make sense, make it go away!!!

Gotta have music on while in the garage. Also, it takes the mind off how piss cold it is out there.

Usually I've got something similar to the following on:

Mars Volta, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Phish, MGMT, Gov't Mule, Daft Punk, the Format, Widespread Panic.

Pretty much anything progressive, blues rock, classic rock, alternative. Les Claypool occasionally makes the playlist.
