callum-douglas Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I was curious as to what music people like to listen to as they play, the reason I ask is that recently I have found the mood of my music completely mirroring the mood of my season. I am to be imminently sacked from my post at Leyton Orient for instance, and have gravitated towards a playlist riddled with sad songs (in every sense!) by Boyz II Men, East 17 and The Streets. Three Lions has just come on though to give me some hope...maybe I can avoid the boot! Am I just ridiculous or do people find their soundtracks reflecting their season as I do?

MFCJack Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I just listen to the radio these days but I used to play a particular OutKast song if I was losing way back in the day. But I forget which one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 The Bravery, Toby Mac, and 12 Stones are at the top of my Playlist right now. Can't say I've ever linked my style of music to my form though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyjohnmulhern Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have a created a Spotify playlist which is now 6.5 hours long. I just put it on shuffle, and enjoy. It contains a whole variety of songs, hip hop, r n b, pop, rock, literally anything! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Nothing I tend to listen to specifically when playing, although thinking about it maybe it could be interesting to try and play 'appropriate' music for certain fixtures. Perhaps listen to some Chas & Dave when I play West Ham or some Gerry and the Pacemakers for playing Liverpool... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnakai Haaskivi Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I use it to listen to albums that I don't usually sit down and listen to; I've discovered (or rediscovered) a lot of stuff I like that way, actually. Right now, though, I've got a White Stripes/Dead Weather mix playlist that's been getting a lot of time. I also use the time to catch up on my podcasts (the World Football Phone-in and the various "How Stuff Works" podcasts are both pretty good background listening), but sometimes those can be distracting.

tdurbo Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Keeping my mouse cursor in the bottom right hand corner, so i can just see the tip of the pointer, brings me luck Wow I thought I had OCD. I move the mouse off the right-hand side of the screen when am playin a match, so I cant see it! Classic Simon I love it Tunes? Owt. Today, The Killers at T In The Park and REM...yesterday, U2 and House Martins...day before, Radiohead Glastonbury 97. The music decides the mood, not the other way round for me. Altho I got careless and chucked a 3-2 away 1st leg lead away in Carling Cup semi v Newcastle cuz I had Kennedy by The Wedding Present on full blast and wasnt looking. The big bind is lowering FM's volume so it doesnt blast out on match day when I turn me music up EDIT: And me save games are probably twice as long in days as they should be due to `a quick nip on the forums' that lasts 2 hours....now where was I? Oh yeah, Hull at home... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a wife who really appreciates FM now. Must introduce her to feather fetishes though. Back OT, 24 hour TV footie in the background.

scalascione Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Usually watch football, but here in the States, most games are on in the morning (not exactly the time I play). Other than that, whatever's on the TV. House MD, CSI, NCIS, NCIS:LA, Criminal Minds, or if all else fails...college basketball. On rare occasions, when playing a team's rival or big cup game, but only when it's a blowout or comeback win, I have the tendency to play The Final Countdown.

Suzie MUFC Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 There is no time for music, I play FM and MW2 simultaneously! But if it is really late, then I just shove iPod on shuffle, I have no particular soundtrack I'm the same. Laptop for FM, desktop for internet and other games. Usually EVE Online at the moment, but I've got a whole stack of games I need to complete (including some Xbox 360 and PS3 games). As for music, anything that's on my iPod, Spotify, Last.fm, or videos off YouTube. So this covers everything from Fleetwood Mac to clips of Schools & Colleges programs from the early 80s.
