Doing HW Sucks but with
Asobi Seksu
Interpol
It's A little better
anyone else?

[tessalasset]

if it has anything to do with reading, i need absolute silence. but if it's math or science or anything that doesn't require concentration for extended periods of time, i used to put on either classical or some loungy electronic-type stuff. maybe some moby. i wish i was in school now cause i have a lot better stuff i could listen to than i had in high school/college.

Depends on what kind of homework it is. For anything technical / computer related, I find that listening to metal helps me. (The classic type, not screamo). Also, I found the following music to work for me:
Black Mages
The Blue Man Group
Bob Marley

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Aphex Twin...Ambient Works Vol. 2

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

any album by Sigur Ros

your a fucking idiot.

I am with tessa. I cant really listen to anything with lyrics when I am studying or reading and it has to be pretty mellow and downtempo. I usually listen to electronic music when I study.

[Tylerdurden31]

it was usually stuff like Sigur Ros, Mogwai or Godspeed, but sometimes, depending on the type of work I could listen to just about anything, Jawbox, RFTC, Fugazi...i think if it was more straightforward stuff

[woogie846]

I put on Mogwai when I study sometimes, that seems to help.

nice one...

[algunz]

My studying standards were Tracy Chapman and The Sundays.

[Courtney]

I used to listen to a lot of Tortoise while I studied.

[miscorrections]

Oooh, Tortoise is a good one.

The Garden State Soundtrack Does It For Me.

[kreutz2112]

why did you capitalize every word? Is that the title of a book or something? Here's the title of my book.

The Garden State Soundtrack: Music For Masturbation.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

also Zero 7

[indiekid89]

Ummm...No I Capitalize Every Word Cus That's Just How I Type...

[indiekid89]

also Zero 7

They Are On The Garden State Soundtrack...Amazing Band!

[Courtney]

I hate colons in titles so much.

[miscorrections]

I'm going to have to murder you in your sleep.

Re: indiekidq2398698761234-08, not Courtney. For you, Courtney, I'll do it when you're awake.

[kreutz2112]

would you prefer a hyphen instead because the title is not set in stone yet.

[Courtney]

I appreciate your flexibility on this matter. I think short titles are best. None of this "Catchy pun on popular culture: academic catchword jargon for/in/of random really specific thing that nobody cares about."

Titles with two or three words are best. It's revolutionary!

Air or The Album Leaf

good point, but I am at a loss because Garden State Soundtrack is already three words and I have to fit "Masturbation" into the title somehow. Also, this is not a novel it's more of a guide.

[miscorrections]

Cut out the State, and just leave it as Masturbation Garden Soundtrack. Much simpler.

[indiekid89]

The Garden State OST Is Awesome!
U Guys Are Retarded!

[kreutz2112]

No It's Not.

[indiekid89]

Yeah it is...i love it.
the movie and soundtrack are uber amazing!

[Courtney]

The movie and the soundtrack ARE probably better than 80% of the stuff being made in Hollywood. Which isn't to say they are good.

[menikmati]

I don't remember studying too much...I would do it the day before or the day of, while riding the ferry (while attending SFSU), and I would usually have Underworld or just my ipod on shuffle. At NVC, I would also usually just do it the day of (had time to kill) and again would just usually have my ipod on shuffle...

[boarderwoozel3]

I usually put on Mozart or Miles Davis.

[Courtney]

Actually now that I think about it, my musical study habits were pretty distinct depending on what I was studying. For humanities and social science, I liked listening to post-rock stuff like Tortoise, Stereolab, Mogwai and Godspeed. Maybe sometimes more jazz or minimalist electronica too. For math and economics, I preferred classic rock or glam rock.
