Snow Shoveling Music

[seekingferret]

Characteristics I seek in snow shoveling music: Electronic beeps and boops, bright harmonies, musical continuity over a long piece of music or pieces of music, cheerful themes or solemn but not sad themes, even rhythms.

Platonic ideal snow shoveling music: Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion" album. Other albums that have worked for me include Bobby McFerrin's "Circlesongs", Alphaville's "Forever Young", The Postal Service's "Give Up", Vocomotion's a cappella cover of the complete "Dark Side of the Moon", and in complete defiance of all the rules mentioned above except the continuity, Ahmad Jamal's "Chamber Music of the New Jazz"...

What do you listen to while shoveling snow?

It never snows enough to need shovelling here, but I always found Republica to be excellent washing-up music.
