I listen to this before each time I log onto KGS

I don't think that such a thing will help me. Since I already tend to overplay.
I always play like my opponents groups are weak and mine are strong until it's too late. I sometimes listened to powerful orchestral music while playing and it got even worse since I then thought my stones were immortal even when they were alone among dozens of enemies.
What I'd need is something reminding me to calm down and actually think about a move before playing.

I love rainymood combined with appropriate music. Otherwise, I can hear the creepy, ghostly violin in the background which always creeps me out.

Funny, I tend to play the exact opposite of you, it seems. lol

It's very faint and I don't think it 'shows up' until later in the recording.
Then again it could just me some weird latent psychosis I have that's producing auditory hallucinations.
To contribute to the thread more directly, I've always liked the militant marching of Magma to pump up for anything competitive.
