Black metal. Nothing blocks out the rest of the world like black metal. Mostly on those weeks I'm running on 3-hours sleep a night and coffee.

Satyricon - Mother North Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards Samael - Rite of Cthulhu Limbonic Art - Beyond The Candles Burning Abazagorath - The Chaos That Crawls Beyond The Stars

Industrial and the related mess of microgenres, trad goth, and neofolk. I was that kind of teenager. Still enjoy listening to that stuff, but it's also familiar enough to fade into the background and just be a pleasant buffer.

Skinny Puppy - Smothered Hope Front 242 - Headhunter Front Line Assembly - Mindphaser Haujobb - Penetration (Fuck the Floor) Project Pitchfork - Timekiller VNV Nation - Kingdom Bauhaus - In the Flat Field Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities in Dust Mephisto Walz - Alle in Asche Skeletal Family - Promised Land The Shroud - Ophelia Corpus Delicti - The Lake... Die Laughing - Safe Little World Faces of Sarah - Misery Turns Alien Sex Fiend - Ignore the Machine Rome - Der Brandtaucher Of the Wand and the Moon - Dirtnap Stories Current 93 - When the May Rain Comes Rose Kemp - the Unholy

Power electronics and noise if I don't just want to block out the world, but discourage it from intruding or from lingering if it does.

Whitehouse - Cut Hands Has the Solution Con-Dom - Seven Pillars of Wisdom Navicon Torture Technologies - Mind is a Prision Merzbow - Klo Ken Phantasie Grunt & Cloma - Dangerous Entertainment

When I should be working but don't want to, on the other hand, I just make huge lists of songs.
