Music that we work by

[Nazgul Girl]

    Joan Jett today.    This got played about 20 times this afternoon ( work at home most of the time ).   Coding can be tedious and depressing at the same time, so I have to remind myself that I'm still living and well.

    

   
   

     How about everyone else ?   I want to be able to hear it, not just be told about it....

This is my latest favorite

[muttleynfelix]

I listen to a lot of P!nk and then I listen to sports radio out of Chicago to keep me in the loop on Chicago sports and keep me productive when I really want to read sports stories.

At this moment I'm listening to Adele's cover of Lovesong by the cure:

Depends on the mood I'm in.

If I'm in a good mood it's Chopin Mazurkas (pure beauty when Rubinstein plays them), Gershwin (old recordings-Benny Goodman playing the clarinet), School House Rock, Depeche Mode, Violent Femmes,

If I'm in a melancholy mood it's Cowboy Junkies

If I need a pick me up: Adam Sandler's "They're all going to laugh at you." (I The Turkey Song) or the Beetles

If I'm really upset it's Offspring. There's something very cathartic when the lyrics are "Well, f*ck you."

DH gave me an amazon card. I've been wanting some Simon and Garfunkel...

[Chocolate Lover]

Pick an Aerosmith song, any Aerosmith song.... I've had them going today. And yesterday. I'll get around to the rest of the stuff on my flash drive sooner or later.

[Sum Dum Gai]

I listen to Children's Indie on Pandora all day.  60 hours a week.  I'm starting to think it's making me slightly loopy.  When teenagers come in I play What Does the Fox Say by Ylvis.  I have a bet going with my daughter that if that song comes on teenagers are incapable of not singing along with it.  3 weeks now and so far 100% of them sing along.

[Chocolate Lover]

My actual teenager hates that song. Come to think of it, so does the tween. The 9 year old is the only one that likes it.  

[Sum Dum Gai]

She hates it, but if she was out in public and some retail clerk put on fox ears and played the song in the store, would she sing along?

Way back when, I did 3rd shift data entry (LOVED IT!).  We could wear headphones (back in the day) while working.   I found the faster the music, the faster I typed.  That was the year I got heavy into Metallica & Megadeath. 

When I was bartending, it was country music.  OLD country music...your great grandfather's country music.  I begged them to at least update the jukebox before I hung myself from the light over the pool table during the 1,000,000th George Jones song.

I wear headphones at work. A lot of the music I listen to would be very inappropriate if other people could hear it. When I'm sleepy or just dragging, I listen to rap to entertain myself. Lil Wayne kind of rap. His language is awful, but he says some clever stuff that I find amusing. Sorry Nazgul, I doubt you all want to hear any of that. LOL

What I listen to really depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Sometimes hip hop, sometimes old school R&B, sometimes neo soul like Jill Scott and Maxwell, the blues, Prince, reggae. I have over 3,000 songs on my Ipod and a playlist specifically for work. I never get around to exploring all of them like I keep saying I am, but I can enjoy a variety of genres, except classical music. I can't get into classical music, it makes me sleepy. I guess I'm not sophisticated enough for that. I don't listen to mellow music often at work, work is already boring, I need music to help me stay perky.

[raeoflyte]

At work its Pandora, pink, kesha, Katy Perry, linkin park. I put music on to keep the part of my brain that wants to wander occupied so it has to have a beat. And lyrics that I can't listen to with the kids is a plus too.

[alabamagal]

I was at the dentist yesterday and they had Lite Rock/John Tesh playing.  The music is fine.  It was fairly loud background music and I was wondering what some of the older patients thought of it.

But I absolutely hate John Tesh and all his psychobabble garbage.  Every time I hear him he is telling you how bad something is for you.  I asked my hygeniest how she could stand listening to it and she rolled her eyes and said she hated the John Tesh part.

[Regis]

Pandora Shuffle of Straight No Chaser, classic rock and Billy Joel.  Every day.

[Rocky Mtn Saver]

I have Michael Buble playing right now.

He, and no he wouldn't. He'd laugh at you for sure though.

My daughter was singing the fox song one day and I asked her how she knew it. She said the older kids on the bus... I hope that is all she is learning from them.

I rode the bus...that's not all she's learning.

Puddle of mudd. Can't play the sound, so not sure if they edited out the bad words or not.
