Work Tunes - What do you listen to?

[TomIre]

Just got a 3m Work Tunes Bluetooth headset. Wish I'd gotten it sooner. Listened to Credence Clearwater Revival, Zappa and Allman Brothers today. And some podcasts.
What do you listen to while you work?
And, yes I know some of you are going to say distracting, want to hear if the equipment is making a "funny" noise, etc. Don't care. I'm really enjoying the tunes!

Here’s a partial playlist of my workout tunes for the gym.



When in the house I usually have Alexa play music from the 70’s & 80’s.

I usually fire up a cajun radio station. Can't understand a word they're saying, but I like the music. Keeps me working.

Can't say I recognize much from your play list. I'm a Soul/R&B guy myself.

Might have to experiment. Is cajun available on Sirius? Tidal?

Actually I just realized I play seventies and eighties music while cooking and Vivaldi the rest of the time while in the house.

Having an Amazon Echo or a Google Play makes life a lot more pleasant.

I use a Bluetooth connected speaker in the gym for the workout playlist off my phone. I don’t like them so no ear buds or headphones for me.

Mark the workout playlist was compiled by my teenage daughter.

I am a huge fan of Post Modern Jukebox (PMJ).

They play a lot of 'today's music' BUT in 'yesterday's' styles.

"Sweet Child of Mine" as 1930s New Orleans jazz... good Lord, I could go on & on about the different versions/styles of combinations they come up with.

Try this one: Just Like Heaven - Vintage Glenn Miller - Style The Cure Cover ft. Natalie Angst - YouTube

PMJ tours too... I'll be seeing them, for the third time, this October in the Gold Coast, QLD!

I enjoy the sound of our SW winds blowing thru the pines. Otherwise its got to be country. Statlers, Oak Ridge Boys, Alabama, etc. Maybe even a little - Guns & Roses.......

Work Music?
It's got to be:

Audio Machine
Thomas Bergersen (2 Steps From ****}
Hans Zimmer

Don't need words...Just gimme the beat!
Out here on the farm it's all about the job.


Got no time for crying about momma, my old truck, the dog
or the drunken ex-wife.
Spare me the country, please.

Although there was a time when it was all I liked.
I've moved on.

My music tastes seem not to have changed since I was 19!

I have the original 3M worktunes with FM radio I have used for a few years.

Just purchased the Bluetooth model with no radio. Lately I have set my Pandora channels to shuffle.

I truly enjoy Cajun music, in French or English. Looks like we may have a project in New Orleans this spring, not far from Cafe Du Monde... Love that place.

I hate to break it to you, but Guns n' Roses isn't exactly "today's" music, it's 30 year old!

I listen to NPR when working, my brain needs a constant stream of information.

 

[Industrial Toys]

I don't subscribe to youtube but they seem to be great at playing streaming music that they know I like. Sometimes I broadcast it on a Ramsey FM transmitter, so I can listen on my Work Tunes Gear.

NPR puts me right to sleep. Too dry for my taste.

Usually, it's either our local Top 40 station (I'm in my late 60s, but I still enjoy a lot of today's music even if I don't know who 2/3 of the artists are) or a custom mix from a freeware jukebox program I run on the computer in my shop.

The older I've gotten, the more I enjoy silence...definitely when I'm trying to concentrate, but even other times the sounds of nature are plenty for me

Now you're talkin!

(I can't understand you, but your talkin! :laughing

I first listened to cajun music during the movie Southern Comfort. Great movie.
Southern Comfort (1981 film) - Wikipedia

Here's one tune that was also in that movie.

I do no know. I don't subscribe to any music services.
