What do you listen to when you're ironing?

"Iron-ing? What is this iron-ing of which you speak of, O trunked one?"

I don't ever iron my duds, except for special occasions. For the most part, taking the shirts out of the dryer right away and shaking them out gets my shirts crisp enough for me. Otherwise, if the shirts particularly wrinkly, I leave it hanging in my bathroom and let the shower steam do most of the work. Ironing is for suckers.

I don't - the nice Chinese people in the laundry down the street clean and press my shirts for me...they do a much better job then I could ever do, only charge $1 a shirt and it saves me 20 minutes of cursing and burning myself every week night (I was never one of these people that could do all the ironing at once).

I tend to listen to Jane's Addiction and Atari Teenage Riot while simultaneously shouting "FUCK ironing!!! I'll wear my clothes as rumpled as I like, thank you!"

You so don't want to go there.

Mostly, I listen to the sound of my flesh searing.

You can't beat early 90's hardcore rave music for ironing (Especially L.A. Style). Iron to the beat, whoo! *glowstick*

And never mind the sad state of the British Rail system, excessive taxation on booze and cigarettes and all the other stuff Blair's government fiddles about with...they need to organise an invasion to kidnap some of those Chinese laundry people. $1 a shirt? I pay £1.75 for mine! And they still look rumpled! Argh!

I never iron. It is just so pointless.

I feel so 'establishment' now. Like Michael Eavis.

such a square.

Personally, music never really hits the spot... Eastenders on the other hand...

Early Orbital but nuffink after 96.
That way I can iron and then say "actually, no" and go and have a fag, or a spliff, or increase the psychic defense energy in me room or get a girlfriend or something.
