What music/background noise do you read with?

I'm not the most voracious reader and I'm easily distracted. I'm not really good at reading in public with so much going on around me. I can't read with the television on for the same reason. I can't read with the radio on if someone is talking so that only leaves music. The less vocals the better. I found a good station on digital radio that has very little if any chat and most of the music instrumental. It is aptly named CHILL!

Anyway here is a tune that goes perfect with the book I'm reading at the moment.

YouTube - Welcome to Europe - Squarepusher

I like to listen to classical music when I'm studying. Sometimes a little Pink Floyd, sometimes some trip hop. I agree though, music without lyrics is easier to study to.

I cant do classical. For some reason I study extremely well with hiphop like Jedi Mind Tricks

jedi mind tricks is sick.. thats some quality rap.

I listen to spacey stuff...King Crimson, Floyd, or "Loveless" (My Bloody Valentine) and "Psychocandy" (Jesus and Mary Chain) are good albums too. I remember listening solely to J&MC while reading "American Psycho" and it was seriously awesome.
