When you get home after a long day, nothing sounds good to watch, and you need to clean the house, cook a meal, etc. What is the music you put on before you start? You can name a specific song, or just name the genre that gets you through the home duties. Anyone can participate, any genre, song, or artist is a great answer! Also discuss why you play what you play whether your handling the chores or your just relaxing on your couch. Is there a connection between the music and the energy? Better yet, whats playing right now?

    For chores I'll more often use podcasts, but for relaxing at home the genre varies. Lately it's been a lot of slowcore and dream pop, alternating with movie soundtracks if I'm multitasking. Mazzy Star, the Cocteau Twins, Beach House, John Williams, Dario Marinelli, Howard Shore, Ennio Morricone, Vangelis

    I listen to a lot of music ranging from the 80's, 90's & 2000's with the only modern artist exceptions being Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Bruno Mars & The Weeknd.

    I've been more of an 80's mood as of late so it could vary. Michael Jackson, Madonna, George Michael, Prince, Lionel Richie, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston...they'll all get a good share of playtime.

    I create a playlist for each move, now. Any songs I come across that I like while I live in that house, go into that playlist. It gives me a time capsule, and a huge variety.

    When I just want to listen without choosing, I shuffle one of those playlists as I accomplish other tasks.

    Typically a commentary YouTube, podcast or Audio book. If it's music, a good Sade Playlist or a Jazz Playlist in general.

    Bossa nova or 8-bit EDM. Maybe some Huey Lewis and the News.

    If I’m cleaning, it’s either a Funk/Cookout playlist or Reggae/Dancehall/Soca

    If I’m trying to relax Soul, Yacht Rock or Quiet Storm

    If I’m cooking it’s my Master Playlist of 20k songs on shuffle(technically one playlist of 10k and another one of 9k+ lol)
