All the Ducks Are Swimming in the Water
If you're ever in the mood for some relaxing, chill-out music, or if you need some good noise to drown out not-so-good noise, The Thievery Corporation can provide you with just that. And so can Lemon Jelly.
This office is small, and for the most part it's quiet, but every now and then, Chatty Kathy comes by looking to tell her latest gossip/family drama/health problems. It drives me nuts. I'm the kind of person who keeps to himself, doesn't speak unless spoken to, and really minds his own business. And I never share personal information with people at work. So, when Loose-Lips Loretta comes along, or when one of the senior managers decides to tell his story of Superbowl Sunday (you just had to be there, really), I pop in my headphones and turn up the tunes. This music really does cut the noise in a way that's not as obtrusive as say, your favorite sing-along album. You know what I mean? Not many lyrics to distract you, no annoying guitar riffs or soprano fermatas, it's just altogether peaceful.
And if anyone reads this and has suggestions for similar artists, please drop me a line.
