What does my playlist say about me?

Playlists. So much music to choose from. So many different styles, moods, genres. Do I have a specific playlist that I gravitate to? No. Do I like to discover new music? You bet. Do I have a large selection of music that I enjoy? Yes. I tell people the types of music I dislike is a much shorter list than the music I enjoy. For me music can conjure up a variety of memories, lead me into new territory, or just keep me going in a good groove. I enjoy change and forward motion, and this is where my music choices often take me.

I also enjoy listening to music in multiple ways.

At home one of my favorites is Radio Paradise, Listener Supported Internet Radio. I’ve been a listener for many years and what I love is that I’m introduced to music I would never choose for myself, plus the interesting combination of genres they put together. I have my vast music collection that I keep on my computer. The HomePod is my friend with making my listening choices. I can call up any song, or artist, or have it surprise me. I often choose the latter.

In the car, I turn to SiriusXM with about a half dozen or so favorite channels, a local radio station, or I play music from my collection on my phone. The choice I make there depends on the length of the trip I’m making.

I prefer to leave my music choices to another resource as I make a multitude of decisions every day. Many responsibilities at home and at work means that I’m happy when I can leave that decision to someone else. And this decision is a simple one that doesn’t have any negative consequences. Only positive ones.
