Distraction!

Anime! Video Games! Loud Noises! Dang TV! Go Home, 'cause nobody likes you right now!
I'm trying to get stuff done for ELO, and you keep getting in the way!!

Anybody got any ideas of how to block out these things?

I usually put my favorite genre of music on my iPod.

Yeah, me too. But right now I need some 'rage' music to help me set the tone of what I'm writing right now. Know any good songs along those lines?

[Kaffeina]

I've got the IRC up so...
Feel free to talk if need be.

... But wouldn't that be distracting me from writing as well?

Hmm, well I know of fast paced epic music for Dubstep, since that's my main genre. I say so since by rage music I'm guessing you're writing some king of fight scene. And epic music is usually good for those things.

Not with the topic BEING what you're writing.

Good point

[Shadowflame]

Sure, why not? Any in particular that are your favorites?

I thin I can scrounge up some. Give me a few seconds.

Here's a little list for the occasion.

Gotta go to 40 seconds for it to really start.

This one isn't as bass heavy but it does have some good parts. Especially towards the two minute mark.

This one is fast paced, and the added plus is that people are fighting.

Again this on helps to get that fast paced feel. It was even used in this thing:

And because it's SAO related, have some songs with SAO covers.

no idea... I embrace the distractions sometimes they provide inspiration

I usually listen to some form of classical music under a set of noise canceling headphones. Just me, the composers and my task.
For example:

Wow, this is really great! Thanks for showing this to me!

[Keiger]

2897948 No prob bro. Looking towards orchestral or classical works has always been a good source of inspiration for me. Give me a sec and I'll see what else I can dredge up that's more actiony. Also, pieces without lyrics tend to be better because you aren't using the speech centers of the brain to translate while also writing.
(Edit with music not-so-pending)

Musics from Metal Gear Rising: Reveangeance maybe?
(They are all extended)

I did not want to put it because I hated this music but hey, if it can help you.

And just for pleasure, I would add this one.

[CaDragon1]

Yup, I have the same problem.
Why st the internet be so captivating...
Dang fimfiction and youtube, distracting me with things like Markiplier and Shadowflame.
