I like shuttlecock during times like that. King crimson is pretty good too.

Call Me Lightning just made me understand epi crap and SAS.

Check it out:
By hand
e ^bo + b1 (28) / e ^bo + b1 (24) = e ^b1(28-24) = e ^.0142(4) = 1.0584
95% CI = e ^.0142 (4) ± (1.96*.0040(4)) = e^.0568 ± (1.96 *.016) = e^.0568 ±.0314 = (1.0257, 1.0922)

By SAS
proc logistic etc. etc. ; contrast ' odds for difference of 4 BMI ' intercept 0 BMI_rounded 4 / estimate=exp ;
odds for difference of 4 = 1.0584 (1.0255, 1.0923)

FUCK OFF, SAS! You're my little bitch, now!

Thank you, Call Me Lightning!

Go classical, Mozart and Beethoven. It's all good.

Primarily, when I'm working, instrumental stuff. Everything from Ornette Coleman to Alan Silva's Celestrial Orchestra's "Luna Surface" to Fennesz's "Endless Summer" and "Venice" to "From Here to Infinity" to tracks like "Paco" from the Shellac Peel Session to "Glasgow Mega Snake" etc. I can work to anything without vocals easily and calmly.

Bands like Storm and Stress or the For Carnation with their hushed, minimal vocals are fine by me too.

Must haves for working to-

Bill Evans/Jim Hall- Undercurrent (this is perfect for everything)
Cannonball Adderly-Know What I mean?
Cinematic Orchestra- Every Day
Brian Eno- Music for airports
Tortoise-S/T
Autechre- Amber
Asva-Futurists against the ocean
Global Communication- 76:14
Boards of Canada-Music has the right to children
Do Make Say Think-S/T
Biosphere-Substrata 2
Album Leaf- In a safe place
Jesu- Silver
Mazzy Star - So tonight I might see.
Susumu Yokota- Sakura
Asa Chang- Jun Ray Song Chang
Earth- vol.2
BrokenHanded- elipsed

Kranky, Leaf and Vangelis too!

Om are brilliant to work to too!

really? it wouldn't work (ha!) for me, i' sure. it's too emotionally engaging. but maybe "it's just me" as i only listen to music when i have near-brainless work to do. i need silence when i read books, too.

Brant Bjork - Saved By Magic

Very laid-back, West Coast desert groovin'.

Minimal techno, dubstep etc. Coltrane, anything romantic classical. What ever it is, it can't have any words.
