Anybody listen to music while playing real poker?

I'll either listen to music, or I'll watch a football game on Sundays and Monday nights. Need some time filler in between folding hands.

Just playing on Empire right now and realized Jimi Hendrix's live version of All Along the Watchtower is a great song to listen to while I'm playing, I have no idea why.

i tried hte music during playing thing. its not bad if you listen to music that affects your mood to fit the game. for example, i just lost a pot, and was heading towards tiltsville, but then i cranked some coldplay and air, and it calmed me down.

When I play online I always have some music playing. I've seen people do it at some card rooms, but for me it'ld probobly be too distracting.

In brick and mortar rooms I probably wouldn't unless I get considerably better, but online for sure. Poker is boring, even online, and music is a great way to pass the time waiting for hands.
