Todays music question is not who your favorite band is - but what music works when changing a mood, or getting you out of a funk.
i think its easy to think of music that accompanies being heart sick or depressed (the Smiths always come to mind). but what about the opposite?
To lift my spirits i usually go with dub reggae, or upbeat electronica like the Avalanches. I'll also play "honey bucket" by the Melvins to get me out of bed when the forces of lethargy are mounting.
Also just straight out fun music -- the b52s, Confidence Man, 100 gecs, the Ramones, etc.
i would also suggest going to Soundcloud, and entering this artist, Sybil, who is UK DJ, who makes some amazing music (under the classification of "deep mind' music).
the great music Kelefa Sannah suggested her to me, and a specific set of music called UTE mix, that takes me to a very calm and ambient space.
maybe tonight give that a whirl - go to soundcloud, and enter Sybil, UTE mix, and listen. its not what you would think of as traditional music. Its something more immersive and combines old and new sounds of your life.
so what are your suggestions and why?
hope you're well!

Live from the waiting room… Greg has thoughts
Update #2 the vending machine in the juror lounge has Funyons. This is why America is great.

Currently in a big room for jury duty. I feel compelled to nominate myself as jury foreman immediately. Then later tell them I’m guilty of the crime they’ve accused the defendant of. I learned this from Clint Eastwood.
I just watched a long video about being an unbiased juror. I thought it sucked.
Why are you here.
I think I’ll be dismissed the moment I tell them I know Jesse Watters.
Jury update: no paper towels in the bathroom. Hand cleanser empty at all spots. None of the clocks are set at the right time. My yelp review is going to be scathIng.
A friend just told me racism gets you excused from jury duty. I already checked off “white” on my nationality so I’ll let them do the work.
No air conditioning in this place. Jesse got better treatment when he was detained in Turkey for ...
