Music for DBAs

  • Well, if you herd fifty developers into a crowded hangar, they have no other way to stay reasonably sane and actually finish anything.

    Expect lower productivity, quicker burnout, no teamwork, no knowledge transfer and no loyalty anyway.

    Shame I hate this kind of ... erm ... music so much that I cannot use it as a kind of white noise to block the racket.

    Not that it matters now that I work from home.

  • Really depends on my mood.

    I prefer Trance and Progressive dance music; I dislike techno, which is a specific genre of dance music, so stop lumping all dance music under "techno"

    But then I might also switch to some Aerosmith, Nina Simone, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, classical music or maybe even something from the 40's or 70's.

    However, you will never catch me listening to modern R&B or Hip Hop.

    I absolutely agree! I love listening to Progressive House, Electro House, and NOT techno. My favorite day of the week is Friday because of Radio 1's 12 hours of dance music. It starts at 10 AM Pacific time and it really gets me through the day.

    Quick Pick:

    Deadmau5 - Not Exactly

    Deadmau5 - Arguru

    David Guetta - When Love Takes Over (Electro Edit)

    Sarah McLachlan - Silence (Niels Van Gogh vs Thomas Gold Remix)

    Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feelin (David Guetta Remix)

    Chicane - Popiholla (Radio Mix)

  • Flirtin with Disaster Recovery - Molly Hatchet

    If you Reboot Me Now - Chicago

    Let it Roll(back) - Charlie Daniels

    (Data's) Already Gone - Eagles

    Before you Reboot Me (Take a Look at Yourself) - Eric Clapton

    Only the Third-Normal Die Young - Billy Joel

    (TLog Size) Let it Grow - Eric Clapton

    This Server of Mine - Beach Boys

    Welcome Backup, Kotter - John Sebastian

    I Write the SQL - Barry Manilow

    You Took the Reserved Words Right Out of My Mouth - Meatloaf

  • For those that like both metal & classical, check out the band Break of Reality (www.breakofreality.com) - 3 classical cellists & 1 percussionist that started out playing covers of Metallica & such, now have their own library of compositions - excellent!

  • Here's a late entry:

    S-E-L-E-C-T By Aretha Franklin

  • Queensryche - Disconnected


    Dutch Anti-RBAR League

  • Sade is back with Soldier of love, so I wish all SQL Server and .NET Wild Wild West in 2010.
