Now that I think about it, I go through phases with music I listen to while working. For a while I was doing really fast metal stuff. The tempo seemed to keep me moving forward. There’s also this french electro-dance group called Yelle that keeps me energized and positive. Lately I’ve been listening to this internet radio stream called “chillout lounge” that is all electronic ambient stuff.
An album that I’ve had in rotation lately is the last smashing pumpkins record, Oceania. I disliked most of the stuff they did after Mellon Collie, but this one is not bad at all.
