Music to Cook to!
Hello. I am curious what everyone enjoys listening to in the kitchen (while chopping veggies and what-not). Do you prefer exciting music or calming music? Or do you prefer silence?
But the main reason I ask is because I am making myself a playlist and need a few suggestions! Here is what I have so far:
Hey Good Lookin' - Hank Williams
Colors - Amos Lee
Eet - Regina Spektor
The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Use Me - Bill Withers
Fleur de Saison - Emilie Simon
Wild World - Cat Stevens
The General Specific - Band of Horses
Caramel - Suzanne Vega
This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing - Trace Adkins
Oops oh my - Tweet (haha.. i just love it)
We Are Nowhere and It's Now - Bright Eyes
I seem to like a healthy mix of uplifting and relaxing music. But I need at least 10 more songs so help me out, please!! ;)
Bob Marley. Can't get any better than that <3
I love cooking to some Hardstyle and techno! Really makes you cook quickly, very handy for baking.
Also I like cooking to Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, and my fave would have to be cooking to some Sex Pistols!
I'm more partial to Band of Horses' Washington days, but when I'm making a mix with BOH, I include Wilco (usually from Sky Blue Sky) and anything by Red House Painters. If you like BOH, you'll like Red House Painters.
I have a crazy mix on my MP3. I love Renaissance music but my kitchen is usually too noisy to listen to it while I cook because it gives on to the airspace and my neighbours yell across at each other while they cook. So rather than blast my ears I listen to a mix, everything from "Remember You're a Womble" to Peter Auty's "Walking in the Air" to the Peanuts themetune.
COUNTRY.
if not, then something along the lines of Bjork, Portishead Fiona Apple, Adele, Joni Mitchel, Tori Amos, etc
disco, Abba and Earth wind and Fire are 2 favs.
I have 4 cd's that rotate in the kitchen right now.
Medeski, Martin and Wood -End of the World Party (Just in Case)
Propagandhi- Supporting Caste
Jawbreaker- 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Modern Life is War - Midnight in America
depends on my mood! i like cooking to more upbeat stuff like beirut and peaches though.
well crap! I love all the suggestions!
