Silence? That used to happen before you used to listen to music? Or did your brain just got so used to listening to music while working?

I don't mind vocals in my focus music. As long as they're not in a language I understand. I listen to a lot of Chinese opera currently, as well as assorted brands of international metal.
here are a few bands I enjoy listening to when I'm working
