i am in an advanced state of procrastination, so i figured i'd be a little less lurky and more talky. i've made quite a habit of getting myself into situations where i am required to write long, esoteric essays. as a result, i have a list of music that helps me write (or, instead, makes me happily forget, if but for a moment, that i am sitting in front of piles of books, photocopied essays, diet coke cans, pens of different colours, and my infernal computer).
i'd be interested in any further suggestions so as to add to the list. someone really should do a "music to write to" blogariddims. i'd find that useful. anyhow, here we go--i am resisting pairing the albums with the subjects i was writing about at the time--i've classed them according to the years of my major writing periods instead. man, i'm a nerd:
2000-2001
1. e luxo so : labradford
2. royal astronomy : mu-ziq (especially "the fear")
3. selected ambient works : aphex
2003-2004
4. kind of blue : miles davis
5. fabric live 12 : bugz in the attic
6. benji b's year end deviation from 2003 (at www.discontinued.cx)
today
7. aman iman : tinariwen
8. untrue : burial
