TV no, definitively too distracting for me, but music is fundamental to me. It has always been, since I was in school. I say that is like "cooling fluid" for my brain (I actually feel it in this way).

What kind of music? Mixed stuff, actually, but not classical nor "relaxing & meditation" type (the kind you would expect, I guess).

My preferences are for very rhythmic music: R'n'R, Boogie, surf, ... from the 50-60's, italo disco from 80's, sometimes "regional" genres (e.g., country, pizzica), Italian pop like Ricchi e Poveri, Pupo and Rondò Veneziano, liscio (kind of Italian variation on ballroom music) even some modern dance genres (e.g., techno).
