I appreciate Enya, too, but at different times and with much less
intensity than I appreciate Kate.  When I'm listening to Kate,
she grabs my attention, so it's hard to do anything else--except
data entry, because that's mindless!  In fact, listening to
Kate, Loreena, Connie Dover, Peter Gabriel (but no Beatles
except George Harrison solo), Joni Mitchell, Jane Siberry,
and Sarah MacLaughlin keep me sane doing data entry.

Now for report writing, which requires thought, my listening
pleasure turns to Enya, Clannad, Steeleye Span, traditional
Irish music, Dead CAn Dance, and Indigo Girls.

For editing, which takes real concentration and is boring
nonetheless, I am really distractible and irritable and need
the relaxing sounds of Celtic Twilight and other Hearts of
Space thingies, Hildegard von Bingen, and matters classical.

when it's all over, I sometimes rock with the Pogues or Bowie
(but still, no Beatles).

I used to have Tori in my data entry routine--love to type to
the piano!  But so far I really hate Boys for Pele.  I have
heard that it grows on you but thus far it isn't.

cheers,
Kelley
