an unlikely tidying-up soundtrack

It's pretty incredible how much influence the music that you listen to can have - we all know that it can change your bad mood to a good one (hooray for pop music!) but it's pretty awesome how it can also affect your self-esteem, your outlook on life, your confidence, your actions, the way you walk/talk/dance, the way you feel about yourself and pretty much everything else in between.

Today has been a tough day at work - very long and busy and stressful with lots of exams taking place, a bunch of emotional kids worrying their little socks off about their results, and feeling rubbish because you know there's not much you can say to stop all their anxieties. The last thing I wanted to do after a day like today is go home and do chores...

...that is, unless I have something a.m.a.z.i.n.g to listen to while doing it...

I was recently lent this CD by a friend:

...and although I'm not really sure why I felt like putting it on, the minute it started I felt totally energised and invigorated - I simply had to start strutting around my studio, high-kicking, spinning and waving various items in the air (before putting them away in their rightful places).

Look at the breakthrough I made in my studio in the hour or so that the CD was playing... I think I have found my new tidying-up soundtrack!

What music do you listen to while you're tidying?
