1. Higher Ground covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, its a very upbeat song with funky rhythms and I think its great to get a good atmosphere and upbeat cooking going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdOLFtk9joI 2. Depends on the type of people that they are, you could play a lot of things. But always go for what the girls like at this point haha. Something probably like Get Lucky, Daft Punk. Etc. Could vary a lot 3. Blackbird by The Beatles/Paul McCartney. A beautiful and relaxing song, a personal favorite of mine. Perfect to drift off somewhere and fall asleep to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp6bd2vf314 4. I would put on 'Glitch Mob' radio on pandora. It plays a variety of songs along the same lines as Glitch mobs music. No lyrics whatsoever so I can still focus on my work with some cool music on in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVqPx5mUj0g
