Sonos Playlist

By tiffany | Published: August 28, 2009

Even though everyone in the office has their own pair of swanky headphones – sometimes it’s nice to jam out with colleagues, which is why we have Sonos here at TuneUp. That way, everyone can be tortured / blessed with each other’s personal musical playlist. In the spirit of this comradery we (in no official way) assembled this list …

Top 10 tracks most played in the TuneUp Headquarters:

  • The National - “Apartment Story”. This band gets played all the time. Mostly morning music, but sounds good at almost any point in the day. We love this band.


  • MGMT – “Kids”. Somehow this song is still good no matter how many times it gets into rotation. You would have thought that after a year we’d all be over it… but nope.


  • M.I.A. – “Paper Planes”. Even though there are a couple ‘haters’ (*ahem, Isaac), it’s always a good head-bobber. She’s a firecracker and is good motivation for coding tasks


  • “Tarzan Yell”. Yup, you read that right: the sound made by a man swinging through trees. While only 3 seconds long, it gets played at random intervals of silence and jolts everyone awake…. not like anyone was asleep though - you know what we mean.


  • Flower Travellin’ Band – “Satori Pt. 1”. This is the end-of-the-day-let’s-party-hard track… makes you want to punch something and clock out!


  • Metric – “Stadium Love”. The new album is great and always in rotation. Although it might be slightly over-played at this point.


  • Journey- “Don’t Stop Believing”. Somehow this became the designated TuneUp theme song. Seriously, this track gets played at LEAST once a week. Multiple versions, but there’s only one Journey - with or without cowbell!


  • Biz Markie – “Just a Friend”. Biz is a friend of TuneUp (see our launch party photos) so we love pumping this song good & loud midday.


  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Heads Will Roll”. The HQ consensus is divided on them, but we like playing it anyway, even for the haters! Go Karen O!


  • Empire of the Sun – “Walking on a Dream”. Great piece of dream pop to blast in the office for new releases and big version pushes.


    • We have an extremely diverse crew here, which means the Sonos is always blasting out some very … umm… interesting music. So next time you’re at work, feel free to check out these tunes and feel like the TuneUp HQ. Just be sure you clear it with your co-workers. Or get some headphones. :)
