Hmmmm... At the moment, my soundtrack consists of various bits by:

• MC 900FT Jesus
• Better Than Ezra
• The Dead Kennedys
• Frank Black
• Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
• Soul Coughing
• Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts
• Radiohead
• The Ramones
• Fishbone

If I'm really writing code, I lean toward electronica (Boards of Canada, Chemical Brothers, etc.) as I find I don't really focus on it like I do music with lyrics and melody... =-) When I need a pick-me-up, I go with ska. Less Than Jake, The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones, Buck-O-Nine, Skankin' Pickle and the like can really rip me out of a funk.
