Music to WORK to:

As finals projects and exams are just around the corner, I thought I'd provide a new perspective on some "push through it, drown out the world and get it done" music. I think many of us already turn to music to help us relax, focus, and get work done, but I also find that the same stuff over and over again can get old! So I turned to Songza.

Songza (if you aren't familiar) is a music site, much like Pandora, but rather than making a playlist for you there are pre-made playlists meant to fit a certain mood or activity. I found this playlist, "art school all-nighters", along with a list of similar playlists meant to help inspire and foster your creative (or desperate) efforts.  NOTE-I haven't listened to all of these, but based on my previous experiences with Songza I can assure you that there's someone for everyone!

Click here to head to the playlist!

If you're new to the site, all you do is select an activity or mood (usually based on the time of day, but there is also a side menu), and then pick from a few choices that the site thinks would be appropriate (again, there is also a search bar and menu).  I would also recommend "crowd-pleasing dance pop" and my personal favorite, "the perfect drive", for some good times. :)

As you move in the final stretch, don't forget: MAKE IT COUNT AND HAVE FUN! And hopefully Songza will help you get there.

Happy listening!

    This is great- thanks for the update. I can only listen to Golden Oldies and 90's Country loop on Pandora so many times.

    It is always good to hear about new music sites/apps. During project marathon work sessions listening to my normal favorites - I can pretty much tell you the next song before it starts.

    Music keeps me sane during late nights in studio.. I often find myself having to keep switching stations on Pandora to keep me motivated, and most importantly awake haha. Thanks for sharing;I will definitely be giving the site a try!
