I'm the same way. I have to turn it off or it distracts me and breaks my focus.

Not only am I incapable of productive work with music or sound, I temporarily lose speech if I am interrupted. If the phone rings while I am coding I don't even bother to answer: I will not be able to talk anyway, and I wont remember anything you tell me.

Right now, The Social Network soundtrack. Before I bought that, M83 or 65daysofstatic. Postrock, mostly, with no goddamn lyrics .

There is too much going on in 65daysofstatic songs. I end up focusing on the elements of the music and not on the task at hand.
