The music that I love (ska and rocksteady mostly) is not something that would probably get most in the mood. So I've been playing a lot of instrumental surf rock (a la The Aqua Velvets), Twin Temple, and La Lom/cumbia. I am a summerween beach cryptid so its semi fitting I suppose.

haven't really heard much ska, but I'm open for suggestions.
might check out a few of these here soon and see where things go.
lol. t'was just a random train of thought I was thinking about, just with the difficulties of not using copywriten material.
My wife has even recorded her own music for me to play in the backgrounds of my streams, which also gets double publicity, however i do think it has to do with, at that point, deciphering the mood of the room VS trying to fit the music to the theme of the show.
I definitely always have music in the background. Something I learned from running a talk show years ago: No Dead Air! You want to keep that ambiance going as you pause between talking because as talkative as I am, I always have moments I am quiet but the vibes are always felt due to lighting and music (according to my fans). Some have told me that they come for my looks but want to get to know me more because of the music or overall vibe I have going on at the moment.
Sometimes I choose a movie that seems interesting not audio-wise; people do listen and will ask "what are you watching, seems interesting!" and that can strike up a convo or more during slow periods. I enjoy stand-up comedy a lot so I also cycle between my favorites if I don't feel like having music on at the moment and that also can make for great convo. I use Apple Music these days but if you don't use streaming apps, try YouTube. They have hour(s) long videos of playlists and more. xo
