― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 5 December 2002 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

someone trying to do it with you while you're trying to listen to music is just annoying

― duane, Thursday, 5 December 2002 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Bjork (esp. Vespertine)
JSBX (esp. Orange)
Miles Davis (esp. 70s era throbbing funk stuff)
Jon Coltrane (esp. Love Supreme and other not-as-tweaked-out stuff)
Loveage: Songs to Make Love to Your Old Lady By (well duh!)
Sigur Ros (I'm soooo not joking)
Jeff Buckley (hallelujah!)
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (anyfrigginthing)
Peter Gabriel's Passion
David Byrne's The Forest
David Byrne & Brian Eno's My Life in the Bush of the Ghost
Billie Holliday (anything except "Strange Fruit", which makes me cry)
Ravi Shankar
Fela Kuti
DJ Shadow
Air
Amon Tobin
Tortoise's Millions Now Living Will Never Die

In regards to this matter, I'm sooo glad I'm no longer with my son's momma, as she liked fucking to all kinds of retarded crap like ZZ Top and Phish and Led Zeppelin (okay, I can see that one) and Grateful Dead and many more things I found completely inappropriate.

Personally, I have alot of trouble fully actualizing a shag when there is distractingly inappropriate music playing, whereas music I find more appropriate accentuates the shag a thousandfold. I don't mind doing it without any music whatsoever, but things generally tend to go MUCH better when there's music (not to mention incense & scented oils and satin sheets and...uh, I've said too much).

I used Jeff Buckley a lot in college. I agree with Sigur Ros as well. Just was scared to mention it....

what is your earth "shagging" ????

― bob snoom, Thursday, 5 December 2002 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Vindaloo by Fat Les, Patricia the Stripper by Chris De Burgh, the Mr. Blobby record, Get in the Ring by G'n'f'R, the N'SYNC version of the Lion Sleeps Tonite, Grandad by Clive Dunn, some happy hardcore version of the Scottish national anthem I've got, You're my mate by Right Said Fred and anything off the Whicker Man soundtrack.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 5 December 2002 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

A-Ha

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 5 December 2002 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Lynskey's answer sounds like the perfect way to solve priapic disorders.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 December 2002 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Buckley, yes. hm....Cannonball Adderley. any 'cool' jazz, really.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 5 December 2002 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Kruder & Dorfmeister "Sessions" owns, IMHO.
NIN "The Downward Spiral", surprisingly enough (to me, anyway).
Underworld "Beaucoup Fish"
Trans Am "Trans Am"
Blue Skied an' Clear

I tend to agree w/nickalicious that the wrong music can be seriously distracting--enough so that I've been known to jump out of the saddle and turn it off before it turns me off.

Fugazi's Instrument

― christoff (christoff), Thursday, 5 December 2002 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I put that Mystic Fugu Orchestra CD on repeat once just to see what would happen. After a surprisingly long time, I was finally asked to turn that crap off.

In general, though: Music is really distracting and I'd just as soon not have it on right then thank you.

I doubt I could stay hard if Jeff Buckley was on.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Friday, 6 December 2002 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Duran Duran. Most distracting thing ever: having Save a Prayer on repeat while going at it. What the fuck?

I find music that I know the words to very distracting. Singing + sex = really horrible. Or the equation that brought you Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical, take your pick.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 6 December 2002 03:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember having some white label that was just the "Save a Prayer" intro looped over a house beat. yeah, it was pretty sexical.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 6 December 2002 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

me'shell ndegeocello, "bitter"

one of the premier baby makin' albums of the last decade

-particular "wasted time", "satisfy" and the cover of hendrix's "may this be love"

― nat law, Friday, 6 December 2002 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dead Can Dance sets the vibe. DJ Shadow and Telefon Tel Aviv are cool as well.

Any stereotypical or explicitly 'sexy' music (like funk or soul or what have you) doesn't work ironically, it just seems cheesy. Having sex to Autechre is weird.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 6 December 2002 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

This Mortal Coil

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 6 December 2002 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Not actually tried it yet, but I'm thinking Roots Manuva's "Witness (One Hope)" would be fairly phenomenal...or perhaps the instrumental dub thereof.

― Charlie (Charlie), Friday, 6 December 2002 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

"cuntface" by nasenbluten.

no, nothing. who can think at a time like that, let alone fumble around with a cd?

― your null fame (yournullfame), Friday, 6 December 2002 08:24 (twenty-two years ago)

any song by Chicane. Their mellow dance tracks have just enough rhytm not to make me tired and plenty of melody. At the same time not too dancy so i wouldnt jump out of the bed and run to my decks to do a little mix :))))

― Mr.G., Friday, 6 December 2002 08:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i doubt i'd be able to stay in the room if jeff buckley was on

― duane, Friday, 6 December 2002 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Babes in Toyland's Fontanelle, as I mentioned on a similar thread.

New Bomb Turks - Destroy Oh Boy!

― BlackIronPrison, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

Ornette's Dancing In Your Head used to make for an interesting time. If only it had been on CD back then, I wouldn't have had to get up and turn it over. The record I mean!!

I am too old now to even have a stereo in the bedroom. Bedroom is for sleeping. Old.

― Saxby D. Elder, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 21:00 (eighteen years ago)

God I hate all my old ILM posts! I was such a fucking douche in 02!

all kinds of retarded crap like ZZ Top

07 myself would never, ever post this!

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 22:25 (eighteen years ago)

hee hee.

Bill Evans- You Must Believe in Spring
Savath & Savalas- Apropat

and...uh...Dylan. which seems weird to me now.

― the table is the table, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 04:21 (eighteen years ago)

Olé Coltrane has gotten me laid many times, but one that will remain very special to me.

Also, Funkadelic is great to, you know, like, do it.

Srsly though, I think most of Boris' Flood would do nicely. Those middle tracks, especially.

― Ivan, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 06:52 (eighteen years ago)

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Ease Down the Road

The best part is the perfectly timed afterglow of After I Made Love to You. Great for the post-coital cuddle.

(and you're off doing the math ...)

― circa1916, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

Best-ever was Tim Buckley's Starsailor.

Incidentally, sure Marvin Gaye was great and all, but I gotta say that Let's Get It On has never done a thing for me, ditto "Sexual Healing". But really, tho, I'm such a painfully under-fucked individual that I'd even tolerate Micheal Bolton sings the complete Stax-Volt catalogue if it'd get me laid. (Why am I telling you this?)

A companion thread along the lines of "Soundtrack To Your First-Ever Shag" would be kinda nice. (Mine: Top Gun - Original Soundtrack!

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 09:06 (eighteen years ago)

I'll second any suggestion of The Necks, and I'll also add in both albums by Bows, Luke Sutherlands triphop/shoegaze project after Long Fin Killie. Sexy as all hell.

I had a gf that was really into big black, shellac etc; very potent music. She later dumped me for a hardcore vegan dude (known from Survivor). I like to think it was a split caused by musical differences.
