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!

Congratulations to @IMP85. Your Huli Huli recipe was chosen for tonight’s Sunday Suppers. After a fierce showdown between Imp amd @Arius-Trychus, the sugar won this round. I got the entries down to two and Mark chose the winner. Oh, and it was delicious. Sorry @Arius-Trychus, sweet always talks louder for Mark.
@Imp85, please keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter Team Member.
Thank you to everyone who shared recipes and helped keep my temporary “toaster oven, bbq, and crockpot era” alive. Here’s hoping to the kitchen face look flies by fast.
Congratulations to @ACDC_Guy and @Ted_Prohowich. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the panelists.
@ACDC_Guy What was your first make out song and what grade were you in?
@Ted_Prohowich Tell us about a time someone gave you advice you didn't follow. Was the outcome good, bad, or ugly?
He knows black licorice is my favorite, but work had an abundance of Red. He brought home three packs for me, and I never been picky about shape, size or color of my bad decisions. Let’s not talk about what Chris @GGsister2 and I did earlier in the day.
What’s a snack you will never turn down no matter the brand, flavor, or color?
