Receptionist,
Dunder Mifflin Paper, Inc.
Scranton, PA- 2. "At Last" by Etta James: "This is going to be Roy's and my first dance at our wedding. Kind of fitting, after our 42-year courtship."
- 3. "Phone Call #27" by Admiral Twin: "This is the only time where I like the sound of a phone ringing in my ear."
- 4. "Angel" by Jane Jensen: "I like to listen to this song when I draw cartoons. I have a female heroine that I sketch sometimes. She's an adventurer and I imagine this is her theme song."
- 5. "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane: "This has a really great lyric that kind of haunts me: 'So tell me when you're gonna let me in / I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.' That gives me shivers, for some reason."
- 7. "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton: "I know it's cheesy, but it's my song with Roy, my fiancee. Give me a break -- we've been dating since high school."

Dunder Mifflin Paper, Inc.
Scranton, PA- 1. "When I Get My" by Noam Weinstein: "There's a guy I work with, I'm kinda friends with him, really nice guy, but . . . I don't know, sometimes I want to leave this song anonymously on his desk."
- 2. "I Turn My Camera On" by Spoon: "You know those five minutes or so on your drive to work, after you've shaken off the grogginess of waking up and after your cup of coffee has kicked in – but before your day turns into absolute soul-crushing drudgery? This is my theme song for those five optimistic minutes."
- 6. "Got Some Teeth" by Obie Trice: "One time I was in Peru with some of my best friends from college hiking the Inca Trail, and this song came on the guide's radio, and we thought it was a hip-hop song that some Peruvian DJ had mashed up with local music, and we loved it, and we laughed so hard when we came back and they were playing it in this airport bar in New York. Now I'm a temp at a paper company."

By Jim Halpert
Sales Associate
Dunder Mifflin Paper, Inc.- 1. "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stefani & Eve: "Yes, I am a music snob, but my ex-girlfriend Katy put this on a mix for me when it came out, and I got hooked. Try to listen to this song without smiling and/or singing along. I dare you."
- 2. "Rebellion (Lies)" by Arcade Fire: "My roommate and I drove to Philly last month to see them play. They're amazing live."
- 3. "Ghost" by Neutral Milk Hotel: "Buy the whole album. It's incredible. If you don't like it, I, Jim Halpert, will give you a free box of Dunder Mifflin 8 1/2x14 legal pads. (Then I will be fired. So, win-win.)"
- 5. "Gone for Good" by The Shins: "I know it's 'trendy' to be into the Shins, but I don't care. Their new album, due in a few months, is my #1 looking-forward-to-it release of the year."
- 6. "Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: "The best new band in a while. Plus, the lead singer has an odd voice that drives Dwight crazy, so I play the album a lot, in the office."
- 7. "When I Laugh" by The Glands: "If the Rolling Stones were from Atlanta, and like 60 years younger, this is the kind of music they'd make."

Customer Reviews

To start off, I am really glad that I'm the first to write a review... because it's about time!
The Office is my favorite TV show ever, so when I come across little extras like this I am thrilled!
I like that it gives you a small bit about why each character like the song, like what Pam listens
to when she is sketching and how cool Ryan's life use to be before he became a temp at a paper company.
Michael's clueless nature shines, and also in the 5th season, he uses 'Life is a Highway' on a CD mix. :)
My favorite part is on Jim's playlist when he likes to play 'Let the Cool Goddess Rush Away' to annoy Dwight. :)
Only two things iTunes, I wish Dwight was on here, I would enjoy to read his playlist. And also, since it's
2010 and this was released in 2005, I think it should be updated to cater the characters' changed personalities
entering the 7th season.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this. Thanks iTunes. ;)
Awesome Playlists!
Love the songs in here and love The Office. Although I wish this was updated lol. But it shows more of The Office's charaters personality in a way when you listien to some of thesongs in their playlists.
