Can you work with music playing?

On Saturday mornings I generally write my blogs. I always have music on during that time.  Some Saturday mornings, when I am finished with the blog writing, I will catch up on some work.

The moment I change from writing blogs, I have to turn off the music. I find that the music distracts me just enough that I cannot focus on the work. I guess I do not need the same level of concentration for writing blogs as I do for work.

I cannot do both. Can you?
