What provides the background music to your code?
What do you listen to while furiously hacking away?
Talk shows? Podcasts? Techno? Trance? Particular song(s) on repeat? Pop? Sports? A Prairie Home Companion(!!!)?

Are podcasts dead? I wonder. I haven't subscribed to one in couple years.
lots of electronic music - I find I don't listen to the words (if there are any) and just enjoy the noise in the background.
Classical music also works well for the same reasons.

progressive psytrance, ranging from 135-140bpm depending on my mood / time of day

Electronic techno (The Field), dubstep (Burial), ambient or solo piano (Pandora is good for these)
Combining rain with any of those goes very well together actually.

The rain thing is cool! (although the website sucks :-|)
Lots of different music. Preferably something with a strong beat, and not something with overly strong vocals. I've been listening to the TRON Legacy soundtrack lately.
mostly trance podcasts or live streams.
~130 bpm seems like a good work groove for me during the day. solarstone's solaris international podcast is more chilled, perfect for late-night coding, so i try to save them up.
i actually enjoy a little bit of commentary between tracks in a podcast, since it's usually a continuous mix anyway.

Trance seems to be the developers' music of choice. Solarstone is nice. Have you listened to Trance Around the World - http://www.trancearoundtheworld.com/ ? Discovered them tx to another hacker.
Music: Soundcloud FTW!

Thisweekinstartups sounds interesting!
Anything from Armin van Buren, Deadmau5 and David Guetta to Heart, CCR, Led Zep or Mike Snow. As long as I keep the volume down I'm OK.
