Earlier quoted context omitted.

This. I program, which means using words (naming variables and methods, etc). If a song has words I can understand, it seems to distract the language part of my brain too much. So instrumental music works best for me. Silence is the very best thing, but music is better than background conversation.

Agreed. That's why electronical music works best for me. It's music (with some kind of a beat), but mostly without big vocal parts.

Completely off topic.

I wanted to contact you about USSM (see your comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3025521 ). Could you please send me an e-mail (pick it from my web site), I'd like to know if you still have that compilation error with the latest USSM.

Wild guess about the cause: I forgot to include some dependencies in the makefile. In the meantime, I'll try to reproduce the problem.
