Brain Drain Friday: My Coding Soundtrack (When It's Loud and Angry)
Hey everyone,

It's Friday, and you know what that means after a shopping trip... yep, brain completely drained. I swear, I don't know what it is about navigating aisles and making decisions, but it just sucks the life force right out of me!

So, since my mental energy for a deep dive into code or Hive tech is pretty low today, I figured I'd share something easy: what I often listen to when I'm working on these coding projects, or just generally when I need to power through something.

My go-to is usually **SiriusXM Octane**, and if you know that station, you know I have a penchant for **loud, angry music**. It just works for me when I need to focus or get pumped up.

And for some reason, I'm particularly drawn to powerful female vocalists in that genre – the ones who can really command a track with some serious intensity. Here are a few of my current favorites that were probably blasting while I was working on some of my recent tools:

**Maria Brink from In This Moment**
Maria has such a unique stage presence and vocal style, shifting from melodic to intense screams.

**Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox**
Courtney's ability to switch between ethereal clean vocals and absolutely brutal lows is just incredible.

**Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer**
Yes, Tatiana! Her vocal range and the band's technicality are just mind-blowing. From jazz-like cleans to some of the most guttural growls you'll hear. If you have never heard Tatiana sing, just wait for it.

Now, this isn't _all_ I listen to, by any means. My tastes are actually pretty eclectic. But when it's time to code, and especially when I need that extra push (or on a brain-drain day like today), this is often the kind of playlist that's firing.

What about you all? What's your go-to music when you need to focus or just want to rock out while you work (or do anything else)? Let me know in the comments!

Hope you have a great weekend!

As always,
