Listening to radio at work


I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now and I like it...

depends on the station i guess

Depends on the work place. Mine is chaotic enough and when they try to play the radio it just creates more noise. Not to mention having to listen to the shit music choices of co workers.

I'd rather have no radio than bad radio. And most commercial stations are really bad.

reply

Me too. Radio stations play the same crap every hour as well. It becomes tiresome when you know the time from the song that is playing.

I listen to my playlists on Spotify at work.

Radio is dead. It gets tiring listening to the same songs over and over - especially on classic rock radio!

reply

Spotify is where it’s at for me also. I work outside and far enough away from others that I can play my music and not hear theirs.

reply

I listen to Planet Rock in the car and they very rarely play the same song twice. Most of the DJs have been in fairly successful bands and so they have a genuine love for the genre. Over the years I have honestly never heard a track that I didn’t like.

You might want to check out the Rock'n'Soul stream on WFMU. It's a listener supported, independent community radio station, the longest-running freeform station in the U.S.
I'm posting a link to their program schedule. The Rock'n'Soul Radio and Soul Lunch programs feature mainly obscure bands, regional hits and small independent label acts. I can listen for hours and hear maybe a handful of songs I know.

Enjoy the electric sounds of artificial intelligence.

You didn't say what you're listening to. I usually listen to talk radio instead of music.

reply

It's a mix of pop, pop rock music and local and international news.

way back when at work the black dudes had chosen a hip hop radio station. we were all super busy & then the Dj cut in during a song to say tupac had Died. it was a moment we all had in that tiny kitchen I'll never forget.

I found that it was helpful to wear headphones while listening to music or talk radio when I was surrounded by co-workers in a cubicle farm or a shared office space. It was problematic when people had different musical tastes and dueling radios would be on. I remember one guy had his headphones on and I could hear his music from the next cubicle.

I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.
