Work Music
I work at a video game store and we have this little stereo system we can hook up iPods or play CDs on. I'm usually the one in charge of the music (thankfully), so this is some of the stuff that gets played daily. |
| 1 |  | And So I Watch You From Afar
And So I Watch You From Afar
A lot of instrumental stuff gets played because there are no offensive lyrics (obviously), plus it's easier to keep up a good working pace with some rocking jams playing. |
| 2 |  | At The Drive-In
Relationship of Command
Have you ever tasted skin? |
| 3 |  | Battles
Mirrored
Customers are usually confused/terrified of this. |
| 4 |  | Brand New
Deja Entendu
Its hard not to like this album. |
| 5 | | Death From Above 1979
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
This always keeps me in a good mood at work. |
| 6 |  | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing |
| 7 |  | Dredg
Catch Without Arms |
| 8 |  | The Faint
Danse Macabre
Another album that confuses people. I saw someone attempt to dance to this once; hilarious. |
| 9 |  | Faith No More
King for a Day, Fool For a Lifetime |
| 10 |  | The Flaming Lips
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
This gets a lot of plays over the summer. |
| 11 |  | The Flashbulb
Soundtrack to a Vacant Life
Great to have playing in the background. |
| 12 |  | Manchester Orchestra
Mean Everything to Nothing
The most indie thing I can get away with playing that doesn't annoy my coworkers. |
| 13 |  | The Mars Volta
De-Loused in the Comatorium
I think i've turned all of my coworkers into Volta fans by playing this countless times. |
| 14 |  | Maybeshewill
Not for Want of Trying
More interesting post-rock. |
| 15 |  | Minus the Bear
Planet of Ice
Another great summer album, hard not to love this too. |
| 16 |  | Muse
Absolution |
| 17 |  | Nine Inch Nails
Year Zero
This is really the only full NIN album I can play, but I usually go for a playlist I made, mostly singles + non-offensive songs. |
| 18 |  | Oceansize
Frames
For those long days. |
| 19 |  | Opeth
Damnation
Either this or a slow Opeth playlist. Turned a few customers and coworkers on to this too. |
| 20 |  | Portugal. The Man
The Satanic Satanist
The most recent album getting played. "Work All Day" is sadly appropriate. |
| 21 |  | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Almost all Radiohead albums get a lot of play time, but In Rainbows gets the most. A lot of customers like to start up Radiohead conversations, which is always cool. |
| 22 |  | RX Bandits
...And the Battle Begun |
| 23 |  | Thrice
Vheissu |
| 24 |  | Tool
Lateralus
My boss, who only listens to Top 40 radio hits, said this was really good and he liked the drumming. Epic win. |
