i usually play the most depressing music possible on my way into work. anything else seems inappropriate. on the way OUT of work, though, i'm usually blasting something incredibly loud

I need to pump myself up before getting to the office. I'd be knocked flat by the oppressive atmosphere otherwise.Also:

I don't really use songs to hype myself up on the way to work, but I play music nonstop on my ipod until I actually walk through the door to try and avoid thinking about work until the last possible moment, and start again as soon as I leave

I would always listen to Christine 23 Onna's "Drive to Crystal Planet" when I worked at a department store and had to make cash runs to the bank every night. It made me feel like I was an intergalactic cargo carrier or something. But I don't generally try to pump myself up during my commutes.

kind of the opposite of "pumping up" but John Hall - "Power" (live version from no nukes) really really relaxed me/gave me peace on one nervous drive to work.

this thread has reminded me of this ep from this all-female (?) german punk band that i always used to listen to omw to work, but i can't remember the name and it is really pissing me off.
there was one song in particular where the vocals sounded like werewolves? i think the cover was red? there may have been an x in the name? fuck.
