Music for Work

Thought I'd share what I'm listening to during my work hours. I use Playlist.com for my working hours. You can put together a playlist of your fave songs and, while you don't get to own the songs, you don't have to pay for them either.

I change my playlists all the time; these are some of the songs that are getting me through the work day right now:

"Istanbul Not Constantinople"-They Might Be Giants
"Personal Jesus" - Depeche Mode
"Bizarre Love Triangle" - New Order
"Better Together" - Jack Johnson
"Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" - She and Him
"Alright with Me" - Eric Hutchinson
"Lucky" - Jason Mraz (w/ Cobie Caillat)
"Pop" - *NSYNC (yes, I love them. Deal with it).
"Wonderwall" - Ryan Adams (remake of the Oasis song; heard it on an episode of Lie to Me)
"Jai Ho" - A.R. Rahman (from Slumdog Millionaire)

JW Moxie said...: I shit you not - I was rocking out to "Pop" last week. I even know the choreography. Here's some advice - don't try to do the choreography to "Pop" while on the way to work. Then you might avoid whacking a random neighbor's mailbox. I'm not saying I did that, but ummm...yeah. :); April 26, 2009 at 4:01 PM
tireegal68 said...: I love your playlist.
Happy ICLW! I wonder if we are in the same age bracket as the first few on that list definitely seem to be in a certain era. I should try that playlist thing - I use pandora.com but you can't pick a playlist i don't think.; April 26, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Amy said...: I'm loving that "Lucky" song lately.; April 26, 2009 at 9:21 PM
