I sort of enjoy holiday music, not so much because it gets me in the holiday spirit, but rather because I work at a place that plays the same essential mix, year-round. No matter what time I get to work I'm practically guaranteed to hear either Indigo Girls or John Mayer within 15 minutes of arriving. ... »»
I work at a place that has Muzak satellite radio piped in, which means that I listen to a handful of songs by a couple of dozen artists. There really isn't too much variety involved.
I believe that the channel we listen to is "Adult Alternative," and it seems like whomever is in charge of the programming for the channel goes though phases. Back in the day, Pete Yorn would get some songs in the mix, as would Ben Folds Five. I always enjoyed when they'd get some play, but I haven't heard either for quite some time.
There was also a time when you'd hear quite a few songs from Ryan Adams' Gold. Not that long ago, the soundtrack for I Am Sam was all the fashion. But lately, things have taken a sinister turn.
