Songs About Studyin'.
TheFuriousWombat:
Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, Grouper, Jacob Harris and a bunch of other ambient artists are ideal for me. I can sometimes read/write to music with lyrics (audible/clear lyrics anyway so Grouper doesn't count) but usually they distract me so I avoid them.

See, I study better when I'm not listening to anything, but I'm much more easily distracted. And since I can't study in my room, I have to go study in place where the noise isn't under control. So I'd rather control it by putting something akin to white noise on (ambient or post rock) without singing.
words are generally bad and distracting.
Also, I find that putting on a record is a good way of pushing through an hour of studying. Not stopping until the music stops, and once you're in the mood, you don't even notice anymore, which is great, but I think the music is a good initiator to get you in the mood.
McTaggart:
Sometimes I hook up Electroplankton to my speakers, set the Hanenbow toy to do something that sounds neat and then leave it while I work, sometimes prodding it to mix things up again.
valley_parade:
Same thing I said on facebook: Japanese ambient/IDM. Daisuke Miyatani is fucking ace, man.
Cernunnos:
Maybe I just missed it, but nobody mentioned Boards of Canada.
what is up with that?
