Re: What do you listen to at work?
I use SiriusXM and Spotify mostly.
SiriusXM for casual listening, Spotify for specific listening + getting all the new albums on fridays.
Right now I'm on Spotify, listening to the Guardian of the galaxy soundtrack.

iHeartRadio. Usually set to contemporary Christian music stations.
Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
I usually start off listening to something that was recommended on this thread's precursor on the old Solidworks forum (Last gasp today!) then letting the YouTube autoplay take me where it will.
I'll be looking to do the same with this thread now.
Thanks for restarting the thread here @RickB

Re: What do you listen to at work?
Heavy metal for repetitive work where my brain is on autopilot, the faster the song, the faster the work. Instrumentals like classical or some kind mellow dark ambience for more serious work where me brain is involved.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
I usually jump back and forth between two of my favorite stations on Pandora -
Guardians of the Galaxy Radio
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Radio
Occasionally listen to old episodes of the Nerdist podcast (listening to the one with Bob Saget right now.)
With that said, I actually bought some more CDs this week! (remember those?)
Operation Ivy - Self Titled (Getting hard to find their CDs)
Rancid - "Out Come the Wolves" (a "must own")
The Interrupters - picked up two of theirs

Recently discovered how huge the Zappa library is at Apple Music, So yeah.
But today seems to be mainly Jeff Beck.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
Typically, I listen to terrestrial radio streamed online, either rock or news. I listen to YouTube often and intermittently.
I'm gonna carry on a small habit of sharing notable albums here. I really try to avoid sharing NSFW like explicit lyrics or controversial content, but then I may not have listened to the whole thing - interruptions can happen. I prefer albums for less fuss at work, but may share a song if it's worthwhile. I really like weird stuff, and also a wide variety of the less weird.
Prince Jazz Funk Sessions 1977 Instrumental is an old favorite that I return to.
Last week, I discovered MEUTE, a marching band covering popular techno music. That's darn cool to me.
Today I found Shaolin Afronauts, an Afrobeat band self-described as "interstellar futurist afro-soul". Upbeat and jazzy.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
Picked up some trivia regarding my CD selection . . .
After one full length album, some of the members of Operation Ivy formed Rancid.
The Producer of "Out Come the Wolves" also produced "Fight the Good Fight" for The Interrupters.
(the members of Rancid co-wrote and played on one of the songs on that album.)
Some of this I knew, some of this I just found out about, but I thought the links between the bands was interesting.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
Aside from the incessant whining from a couple of co-workers, I will usually be listening to anything easy (jazz standards, Coltrane, the Duke, Sinatra, Davis, Eagles, Diamond, Joel, the Beatles, ELO…), and then there are others times when I feel like it is time to take the lead out and listen to some classic Rock (Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Stones, AC/DC… and of course the ‘Ayatollah of rocknrolla’, LZ).

Re: What do you listen to at work?
I also found this musician, Ayron Jones ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9BitW ... 2srMOSJjZQ ) . Very talented, with a strong hard rock sound. I've started hearing "Mercy" on local radio because he will be one of the guests at a festival concert they're holding in September.
Re: What do you listen to at work?
(I don't know if this belongs in Watercooler, but it's about music so I'll post here.)
Does anyone understand, "Music tuned to," a specific frequency? I found some hippy dippy spiritual healing topics discussing the benefits of Music Tuned To 432 Hz. It appears prevalent enough to be more than one guy's silly idea. To my understanding, a frequency is a tone, a note, not a framework to present all musical sounds.
Here's a gist of it,
I've seen music before called things like, Anti-Cancer Frequency, Healing Frequency, Meditation Frequency, etc. I can grasp the meditation aspect, but alternative healing is particularly unscientific. Also, if I am listening to such music on pathetic office speakers or similar, am I doing it wrong or still getting these alleged benefits? If I'm supposed to listen to music like this for 21 days and see how it impacts me, what about listening to music on the radio while driving, even if I'm listening to "healing" music at other times? This is a confusing topic, and some therapists' blog spewing the benefits of it does not exactly convince me. This sounds like something a crazy aunt brings up at thanksgiving and everyone eyerolls in response.
Edit: If I'm listening to my buddy play guitar or another live performance, how does that count? Is it a technical aspect of how the music is produced or of the media it is distributed on, or how it's played back, or what? See, questions multiply.
I could benefit from less negativity in my life, as I'm sure we all could. Is this effective in any way?

Here's a gist of it,
That's some bold claims. I can imagine some softer, brighter thrash metal or hardcore electronica.Music tuned to 432 Hz is softer and brighter, and is said to provide greater clarity and is easier on the ears. Meditation music tuned to 432 Hz is relaxing for the body and mind and also more harmonic and pleasant than 440 Hz which is the frequency that most of the modern day music we listen to is tuned at. Some theorists believe that 440 Hz was designed to stimulate fear, sickness, oppression. This imposed frequency was introduced as the standard frequency in 1940 in the US.

Re: What do you listen to at work?
In traditional western music, the A above middle C is tuned to 440 Hz. I think what they are describing is instead of A being 440, it is tuned to 432 Hz. So you still have the entire musical scale, but the base tuning is lowered slightly.
