If I'm reading it can't have words, or at least can't have words I understand, or else I get muddled and distracted trying to process both at once. I used to listen to Puffy AmiYumi while reading in high school until I memorized the songs and it stopped working haha oops... these days I go for lyricless soundtracks like The Secret of Kells or Wall-E, or other foreign language music like Leb i Vino (bulgarian folk) or Wir sind Helden (german).
When I'm drawing I'll listen to just about anything. I like Guster, Caravan Palace, The Walkmen, Maggi Pierce & EJ, Hymn for Her, Ben Kweller, Pete Seeger, and Jukebox the Ghost.
If I have to stay awake I sadly have to put on something faster and louder like Flogging Molly, Studio Killers, or some of Janelle Monae's work.
Oh yeah and one time in college I had to sit painting little squares for several hours into the night, and I just played Gee by Girls Generation over and over and over h-hahaha... It was kind of mind-bending but it kept me from going insane from the tedium.
