We at HSLIC know how hard it can be right now to find the inspiration to try new things to help with studying, working, taking breaks, and more. That's why we all came together to create a playlist of our favorite songs for different activities!

Today we are featuring new suggestions which means the playlist has even more incredible songs and genres to match with your needs.

What do our employees like to do while listening to these new additions?

  • Hannah Broyles, Administration Student Employee
    • "Let's Get Married" by Bleachers, "Head on (Hold onto Your Heart)" by Man Man, "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C., "All My Friends" by The Revivalists, "Shake it Out" by Florence + the Machine, and any song by Flor for a myriad of things she likes to do. These songs help her right now with staying motivated to keep planning her wedding (Let’s Get Married) and the rest are for the boost to keep her exercising and completing homework assignments until graduation.
  • Robyn Gleasner, Resource Management Librarian
    • "Chicken Fried" by the Zac Brown Band, "Harder to Breathe" by Maroon 5, "I'm Gonna Miss Her" by Brad Paisley, "Life is a Highway" by the Rascal Flats for driving and dancing - though not at the same time!
  • Sally Bowler-Hill, Manager of Administrative Operations
    • "Flying in a Blue Dream" by Joe Satriani, "Iridescent" by Linkin Park, "Where the Streets Have No Name" by U2, "A Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay, "Why Should I Cry for You" by Sting, "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche, "Beautiful Drug" by the Zac Brown Band, "So What" by Miles Davis, "Take the A Train" by Duke Ellington for driving. Though it isn't her favorite activity for listening  driving alone is when she gets to listen to music just for herself.
  • Amy Weig Pickering, Library Information Specialist
    • "Fireball" by Pitbull when she wants to get pumped up and really move.
    • "I Go Blind" by Hootie & the Blowfish for singing in the car with the windows down at the top of her lungs.
    • "Cemetery Gates" by the Smiths to think about more carefree times.
    • "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley for anything. She loves Bob Marley. Her daughter is named Marley, need she say more?
  • Sarah Morley, Interim Co-Director & Division Head for ECRS
    • With a variety of birds on her property due to spring it is no surprise that "Blackbird" by the Beatles is running through her head.
    • Her upcoming retirement (during the pandemic) has her singing "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" by Jethro Tull.
    • Any Bonnie Raitt or the album "Back on Top" by Van Morrison is sure to get her toes tapping.
    • For pure raucous enjoyment give her the Rolling Stone's album "Exile on Main Street." She says - "Play it loud, play it often!"
