Morning music?

the most 'abrasive' I want to get is the beatles generally.

Los Angeles REPRAZENT

Bizarrely, this is one of my favorite reissue CDs of 2006, honest!:

also, early Jazz Butcher.

Great idea. Aphex Twin's "Ventolin" or something by Merzbow would be even more effective!

Which thing? "Ventolin" is way worse than most Merzbow.

however, if i'm allowed the luxury of sleeping in and waking up on my own and puttering around for a few hours, certain artists/albums are very morning to me. joni mitchell. patrick wolf. electrelane. sufjan stevens. "pet sounds", for some reason, has always been a morning album to me. so has the dismemberment plan's "emergency and i", though now that can be a night time album for me as well. yo la tengo's "and then nothing turned itself inside out". bowie's "hunky dory", elliott smith's earlier albums are very winter mornings to me. and so on.

this is usually my strategy. this morning it was: eva quartet -> gesualdo -> minimal house -> acidy minimal house -> ?

the embodiment of this ideal, for me, is smallville by tobias thomas

yes!

nod off to Chill Out (KLF), wake up to Pacific State...

I love how sleaze is distinguished from the merely sleazy, i.e. The Skatt Bros. magisterial "Walk The Night" (and, one presumes, The Village People's Live and Sleazy).

I made myself a morning music/sleaze CD. Here's the tracklisting:

Bucks Fizz - I Hear Talk 4:37
Chris Rea - I Can Hear (Your Heartbeat) 5:26
Detroit Emeralds - Feel The Need In Me 3:43
Patti Jo - Make Me Believe In You 6:16
Buddy Miles - Pull Yourself Together 4:21
Bionic Boogie - Hot Butterfly 5:21
Lamont Dozier - Take Off Your Make Up 4:48
Johnny Bristol - Take Me Down 5:08
Stevie B - Midnight Music 6:47
Miquel Brown - Close to Perfection 3:55
Novecento - Movin' On 3:44
Gazebo - I Like Chopin 4:05
RAF - Self Control 2:50
Savage - Don't Cry Tonight 6:43
Any Trouble - Touch and Go 4:36
Rose Laurens - American Love 6:48

still the best way to spend the first hour of the day.

Do you wake up to music each day?

al green
billie holiday
elliott smith (s/t, either/or)
blur (parklife!)

Yeah. Bracing.

(I siwtched off Free Radicals because it was getting too inaudible and then too aleatoric or something.)

ten years ago or so a friend told me Keith Jarrett was great morning music and that's been true for me - played some very early Bill Evans this morning and that worked nicely, too, I feel like piano music is great in the morning, and so's a lot of late 70s soul - Rufus, for example. But today Nurse With Wound's Man With the Woman Face is kinda perfect too. This thread has been asleep for ten years; what do people like in the morning these days?

sade

for like, cloudy gray mornings

anything with a rhodes is good morning music too, this morning i listened to some gil scott heron & brian jackson stuff on my way to work

Was reading that as de sade for a moment and thinking, that's a bold start to the day

Bill Evans' opiated tinkling perfect for Sunday mornings, def

I've always felt the title track of Astral Weeks sounds best in the morning, when you're alone and everyone else is still asleep.

suzanne ciani's - seven waves
herbie hancock - sunlight, mr hands
random vaporwave mixes
steve roach - structures from silence

bryter layter

I still think a lot of the music that most people think of as morning music is like having chloroform held over one's face. I need encouragement to wake up, not something that will put me back under or keep me suspended in an in-between state.

There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

my default appearance is somewhere between awake and half asleep

state of mind is kind of a dreamy state, like watching everything go by fast and just zeroing in on the details every so often

hmmm

roedelius - tape archive 1973-1978
keith jarrett - the koln concert
bill evans/jim hall - undercurrent

it's about balance, an easing into consciousness..it's not about drone albums and "ambient" hypnosis

whatever gets your chakhras flowing

brimstead OTM

i love brimstead's list (what a shock right)

ferraro's iAsia and clear are good morning music

bill evans/jim hall - undercurrent

this also works as late night music for me, but whatevs - I get a lil buzz off any list that contains this and Voices From The Lake

Susan Alcorn - Soledad
Satie's Gymnopedies (probably obvious or corny to some but fuiud)
Lee Hazelwood - Love $ Other Crimes
Ahmad Jamal - Happy Moods
Mal Waldron - Plays Eric Satie
Duke Ellington - The Far East Suite

brimstead that is a great great a.m. list
