Sorry didn't mean to get your goat.

'Concierto de Aranjuez' w/ Pablo de Lucia on spanish guitar, since it's romantic and noble like chess and it's 24 minutes long, just about enough time to let my opponent decide to resign (or me to resign if things aren't going so well). Also, various Psychill/Psybient mixes that last about an hour. 'Bolero' is also nice for chess--about 17 minutes, repetitious but unobtrusive, coming to a wonderful crescendo right in timing with my mating attack!!

'Goats like humans' might be worth trying for Bleats, er, I mean Blitz chess!

Oh, I see. Sounds complicated. I create a new paragraph in the editor. Then I use Firebug to replace that empty <p></p> with the embed code. Works a treat. :]

Also, super-easy, if someone is interested:

1.) Locate the empty paragraph:

2.) Click on "edit" and paste the YT embed code:

3.) Finsih editing and submit...:

IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA, Baby! (Iron Butterfly, late 60's)

But no moves can be made during the rather reverent keyboard solo segment!! Mating attacks ARE allowed during the long drum solo.

I listen to my playlist: It's a mix of a lot of different music, mostly baroque folk, instrumental, or orchestral rock. In short, I am a fan of most musicians, as long as there is a violin or other orchestral music in the background.

Here is my playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81B755A435213951 I guess I've been listening to efterklang the most recently?
