My Homework Mix

<< < (5/5)

LucyStag:
My mother's choice for homework mix is HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY CONCENTRATE LIKE THAT?! AUGHH!?

Sometimes she is correct. But sometimes music can get me going on something, in the same way it helps you jog or something.

I don't have an official homework mix but lately I have been helped by the best songs off of "Tragic Kingdom" by No Doubt, "Antarctica" by the Never, "OCMS" and "Big Iron World" by Old Crow Medicine Show. The Old Crow helped at first, but after a week or so it just made me wonder why I was doing homework instead of wandering the great open spaces and drinkin' and smokin' and raisin' hell. That certainly counts as a distraction, if more spiritual than anything else. Sigh.

If anyone can make me a more fucked up list than that, be my guest.

I'm the exact same way, although more specifically with lyrics; stuff like Sigur Ros or even Lightning Bolt works because it's essentially gibberish. So as far as instrumental stuff goes it depends on what the homework is. If it's something really boring that I have no desire to work on, it's gotta be something upbeat like LB or Don Cab, but if it's something for a class that's interesting and I don't mind working on it I can get away with playing a little more low-key like Sigur Ros, Explosions, or the like.  Do Make Say Think and Pelican are two of my most played homework artists, because they're pretty universal for me.
