Who listens to music while playing DK? What genre?

[Leo]

I've never understood how you folk are able to listen to music while playing video games. Which is a little ironic, since my favorite game is a rhythm game, but in that game, you actually need the music to play it properly! When I play games like Donkey Kong with music, I just die a lot.

Try playing music that isn't too attention grabbing. I like electronic genres for gaming, as I can still seem to concentrate well while bobbing my head

I don't listen to music while I play DK, however if I did it would be one of these bands:
- Iron Maiden
- Slayer
- Testament
- Rush

Hey Steve,

I applaud your inclusion of Steely Dan.

I can't argue with Pavement.  Amazing band.  Or Dinosaur Jr for that matter.

I contributed a great deal to a Pavement tabs site (in all the correct Malkmus tunings).  Took me most of my college years (and stalking him after a show in NYC once) to figure out those crazy tunings/formations.

Very cool.  I've seen them a few times as well, so amazing live.  Last time I saw them Michael McDonald opened and later joined them onstage for "Peg", I was like a kid at Xmas.

Yeah, I've seen them 3 times now; the first was back in 2006, at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA.  Michael McDonald was the opening act that night.  I enjoyed the show, despite the constant drizzle (our seats were back in the uncovered section) and the coldest night in August I can remember.

It's always nice to hear Bodhisattva, Aja, FM, and My Old School performed live.

When you saw them, did Walter Becker tell one of his irreverent stories during Hey Nineteen?

Never saw Pavement live.  My go to was the Beastie Boys.  I saw them a few times over the years.  Luckily I saw them in Denver a few years ago...one of their last shows.  R.I.P. MCA.

I don't recall, I know he did talk a lot, he did say something about playing something new and when people applauded he said "that's BS applause, you haven't even heard it yet" lol.  The Boston Rag is probably my favorite song if I had to pick one.

I saw the Beastie Boys at Giants Stadium once, what I remember most is how they kept complimenting themselves during the show about how tight they sounded lol.  It was always impressive how well they worked together.

You mean you guys actually could get into a beastie boys concert. They always sold out in under 30 seconds. Lol.
