When I cook...
I usually listen to something that’s period correct for the machine that I’m using (unless it’s newer than the early 90’s; can’t stand newer “music”).  I can only think of a couple of machines in my collection that fall into that age range anyway.  Most of what I enjoy most is 60’s thru very early 90’s vintage, so rock, soul, disco, and nu-wave (80’s) are my primary go-to’s.  Occasionally, I’ll throw in some classic country or some (VERY early) rap, but that’s about it.  Usually, though, it’s either nu-wave (80’s) or disco.  Sometimes, I use one of my vintage FM radios, but lately, I’ve been using my portable 8 track player to get the sound.
