I know some people who can’t work in silence. Then there are others who are so uncomfortable with silence that they must constantly surround themselves with noise. Any noise. Is it any wonder that ‘white noise’ sells? Who would have ever thought one could market and sell ‘white noise’? How ridiculous is that? How brilliant is that? Amazing.
Have been doing some work for a friend’s little bookshop. They’re expanding by bringing in trade books ie books for people who want to learn something specific like Adobe Photo Shop for Macs, Marketing, Accounting etc; or maybe just want to read about how to be a better person and enhance their life skills. Their new shop opens next Sunday and I have been helping with design copies. Hmm. Been a while since I got the neurons in my right brain firing away but am relieved they sparked up after a bit of coaxing.
Anyway, back to my point about silence vs noise. While playing around with Ickles, I needed music. I’ve always found that my auditory senses needed stimulation while my brain tries to process. Hence the discovery of free internet radio stations as a gift from the wonderful world of the internet. Another brilliant invention. There is something surreal about listening to streaming radio from your PC/Mac and being transported back to another place in your memory simply through whatever ads they may be playing. Of course, I enjoy the music too. And it’s easy to pick a station that plays songs you like cos they’re all broken down into genres. Fantastic.
RooRadio has been keeping me company on Live365 recently and I am loving every free minute of it. Of course, being too lazy to register and pay for the full service means my music gets cut off after a while. But I’m ok with that. Makes me step away from the desk!
Sure wish I had one of these so I can listen to free music from anywhere in my house though… hint hint
