Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 - "Okay, you were right, it is a good song."
One thing The Office did for me was to broaden my taste in music. It's all pretty emo, but did you know Big Band music from the 40's had their own version of emo? At least I have a name for it rather than just cheesy.
Since we are all reading different things at the same time (boy, this library is big), every single one of us will have a different playlist. Here's the link to my MTT playlist on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RtmPxlxMD8xplizpEvU7m?si=MUbmGgXARDCajS9z8JecEg
During mid lockdown when my modem died and I had no Internet, during one of my many runs through all seasons of The Office, I did a spreadsheet with every song I could identify that was used in the show then cross referenced it to a list I found on Dunderpedia. Once I got internet back, I virtually ran to Spotify to create my Office playlist. I indulged my own flights of fancy and included songs that weren't in the show but certain episodes brought to mind. Here's the link to my Office playlist. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1cxjtAjG8iT43o8MwnzxQf?si=FYlrYYoATy64CvM79ZnVHw
If you click on the name Tink Smith (another nic I use, but it's me, really), feel free to poke around my other playlists if you want. All I ask is that you don't mock my cheesy choices in music.

Many thanks Once -
Music is my Jam and my tastes are all over the map - from Broadway musicals, to Pop, dance, Country, big Band, Emo, Rock, - I'll try it all so I look forward to checking out your lists. In my biz I sometimes create montages (photos set to music for special events) so it's become a second nature to really listen for lyrics and apply to stages of life and situations. Sounds like you do same when it comes to The Office.
I'm sure I'll be expanding my list soon.
