--It's alright for me, though, I over ride my imagination on his voice. What bugs me more is slurred, fuzzy, or heavily accented readings.
23 Jan 12:40
--I listen to non fiction on audiobook, but not fiction. I feel like the tone of voice interfears with my visualization of what's going on. Plus, I can't here what the characters sound like in my mind, vs hearing an old british guy impersonate a woman ;\

--haha, never thought of it that way, like a virtual pub conversation. Maybe it's that fact that it is a conversation so we can relate better, like we're at the table too, just listening
23 Jan 11:34
--but with actual talk stuff, it's different. Maybe it's that fake socializing feel, you know, like "oh, I am at the pub with some people" and I can literally practice forever in that atmosphere that some art podcast creates.

--Ah, yes, either I go like "omg I have to do something like call someone or something like that" or I get completely into the drawing and I have absolutely no idea what the book was all about for like the last three hours:)
23 Jan 11:09
--"The World is Flat", "War of the Worlds", Hemmingway, Andersan's Fairy Tales, etc

--I use audio books to catch up on books I'd like to read but can't be bothered to carve out time for :P
23 Jan 10:55
--does anybody use audiobooks? It was the only way I could finish "death by black hole"
23 Jan 10:54
--oh haha I don't pay attention to the images. :p I usually have it minimized to avoid distraction - and I always listen to movies I have already watched. By now. I can remember most of the dialogue in V for Vendetta for example hahah
23 Jan 10:46
--I'm pretty horrible when it comes to paying attention to a moving image AND anything else at the same time, like a freakin baby
23 Jan 10:45
--Ursula: I love documentaries, but if it has moving image, I cannot stop being distracted, lol
23 Jan 10:45
--Doolio: I know that feel. Went through very similar phase with background sound too. There are also days where nothing seems to work, and I just have to do stuff in silent turmoil until this mysterious annoyance wears off
23 Jan 10:44
--I like listening to documentaries and movies too. But I still use music too (and I love podcasts. A thread for our faves is a must!)
23 Jan 10:43
--We should have a thread to keep links of podcast and talk stuff to listen to while working
23 Jan 10:15
--Does anyone know a way to download from mixlr? I can't play either of the interviews
23 Jan 10:06
--Oh yeah like rainfall and shit. I watched the livestream with Dan and Jaan and got drawn into the story, helped my workflow.Anyways Im off to sleep now, its 2 am and tomorrow's school.
23 Jan 10:03
--Yeah, it's kinda strange, I mean, I could draw to the music earlier. I even had a period when I would draw to those nature sounds stuff. Now I just get into some kind of pointless restlesness and can't focus that much. While if I'm listening to some art talk stuff, I get in some kind of "interaction" with it and I can go for hours and hours
23 Jan 10:03
--In some vids theres music for a good hour or 2, but then they get talking and telling stories.
23 Jan 10:01
--I think I've been browsing that too... but it doesn't help if it's not some kind of conversation... for example, dave's videos are often him drawing to some music
23 Jan 10:00
--Totally agree Doolio, going through the same stuff, should get some audiobooks after listening to all the talks.
23 Jan 09:59
--I discovered that music doesn't do much. I need something more substantial, but it can't be like an audio book either, because I somehow end up perceiving that too as some background noise and I become bored and want to do something else etc. So really, art talk is the thing for me.
