haha yup. I listen to everything; legends, indie bands, struggling artists, the new, the old, blues, soul, rock, pop, rap, trip hop, whatever my ears like in a certain moment. But my favorite coil building background music is trip hop. I feel like I just get shit done correctly the first time, lol, anything else, my f-king leads snap, center post spins, I'll drop a screw and it's missing in the plethora of computer wire under the desk, or some other weird shit -.-

Ludwig van Beethoven posted this to his Facebook timeline today with my favorite pianist:

Moonlight Sonata

The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.

This piece is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano, and it was a popular favorite even in his own day.Beethoven wrote the Moonlight Sonata in his early thirties, and did so after he had finished with some commissioned work; there is no evidence that he was commissioned to write this sonata.

The first edition of the score is headed Sonata quasi una fantasia, a title this work shares with its companion piece, Op. 27, No. 1. Grove Music Online translates the Italian title as "sonata in the manner of a fantasy". Translated more literally, this is "sonata almost a fantasy".

The name "Moonlight Sonata" comes from remarks made by the German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab. In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne.Within ten years, the name "Moonlight Sonata" ("Mondscheinsonate" in German) was being used in German and English publications. Later in the nineteenth century, the sonata was universally known by that name.

Many critics have objected to the subjective, romantic nature of the title "Moonlight", which has at times been called "a misleading approach to a movement with almost the character of a funeral march"and "absurd".Other critics have approved of the sobriquet, finding it evocative or in line with their own interpretation of the work. Gramophone founder Compton Mackenzie found the title "harmless", remarking that "it is silly for austere critics to work themselves up into a state of almost hysterical rage with poor Rellstab", and adding, "what these austere critics fail to grasp is that unless the general public had responded to the suggestion of moonlight in this music Rellstab's remark would long ago have been forgotten."

Come on, my friends,
Let's make for the hills.
They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills.
You can get your hands on whatever we find,
'cause I'm only coming along for the ride.

Well, you go on your way and I'll go mine,
I don't care if we get there on time.
Everybody's searching for something, they say.
I'll get my kicks on the way.

Over the mountains, across the sea
Who knows what will be waiting for me?
I could sail forever to strange sounding names.
Faces of people and places don't change.

All I have to do is just close my eyes
To see the sea gulls wheeling in the far distant skies.
All I want to tell you, all I want to say
Is count me in on the journey.
Don't expect me to stay

https://www.coursera.org/ has a ton of free courses, many devoted to music.
I started a History of Rock course and a Beethoven Piano Sonatas course early last year.
I just tried to pick back up in week 5 of the Beethoven course but I'm going to start it over.
They also have free courses in you name it - architecture, geology, astronomy, whatever
It's worth checking out.

As much as I don't really like Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson, & John5 is a weird ass motherfucker, he's a damn good guitarist. The fact that he plays Teles is just icing on the cake
