I listen to songs on repeat at work, because I have a hard time concentrating if the music changes too much. (This is what happens when you get a music education, kids—it can become superhard to use it as background noise.) This is a diary of what I’ve got on loop at work at any given time. Don’t be surprised if some songs get posted repeatedly.Tumblr (3.0; @worksongbook)http://worksongbook.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WPnE0bRldfA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>“Just Like Heaven (unplugged)” -
