What Music Do You Listen To When You Sleep ?

dazedcola · 03.29.2006, 08:35 PM

Right before you fall asleep and are lying in bed. what music do you put on ? I always put on some kind of music to sleep to every night, it's become a pattern. I dont think I haven't listened to music before i sleep in over 4 or 5 yrs.

Some great records to Sleep To:
Velvet Underground- S/t, Loaded, VU and the Quine Tapes
SY- Evol, Washing Machine, Nurse, Murray Street, EJTNS
Beck- One Foot in The Grave, Mutations
Neil Young - any record
Built To Spill- any record
Smashing Pumpkins- any record
Television- Marquee Moon
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
REM- Eponymous, Automatic For the people
Nirvana- Unplugged
Superchunk- Tossing Seeds, No Pocket For Kitty
Beatles- White Album, Abbey Road
Meat Puppets- II, Too High To Die
Sebadoh- III, The Freed Weed
Amps- Pacer
Mazzy Star- So Tonight That I Might See

What about you guys ?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 03.29.2006, 08:37 PM

well I watch television when going to bed. But I want to get out of the habbit. Usually Ill listen to something long, it takes me a while to sleep. A few nights ago I listened some live derek and the dominos. Really repetive stuff also.

soapbars · 03.29.2006, 08:38 PM

loveless is a good album,

also anything by people like ulrich schnauss or m83,

sonicl · 03.30.2006, 03:31 AM

Lately it's been Pelican and Explosions in the Sky, but I bought the new Mogwai yesterday, so last night it was that.

There's been a bit of Steve Hillage's Rainbow Dome Musick recently too.

Hip Priest · 03.30.2006, 03:32 AM

Not music, but I like to have the elctric fan blowing over me. The whirrr is very relaxing.

Kannibal · 03.30.2006, 05:30 AM

it's sort of dumb to listen music while sleeping, brain tends to need some rest too, you know.

A Thousand Threads · 03.30.2006, 05:39 AM

well
it´s not i i listen to music while sleeping
i listen to it while falling asleep

Kannibal · 03.30.2006, 05:40 AM

yes, and your brain has extrawork until the music finishes.

A Thousand Threads · 03.30.2006, 05:47 AM

that is not true

music can help your brain to relax

Kannibal · 03.30.2006, 10:50 AM

right... of course during that time when it needs to deal on it's own.

Inhuman · 03.30.2006, 06:26 PM

Simon Guibord
Isis
Don Caballero
Weights and Measures
Dntel

nomadicfollower · 03.30.2006, 09:08 PM

I can't sleep with music playing. But if I had to it would definetly be Do Make Say Think.

hey alex · 03.30.2006, 10:36 PM

I normally like to play something in the restless time before I doze off. Like when I'm not totally tired but have nothing else to do but lie and listen... for that i like...
mazzy starr
ravi shankar
boards of canada
animal collective's sung tong or a comp of acoustic radio sessions
trainspotting sdtk
VU's s/t
walkmen's bow and arrows

calm or something

schizophrenicroom · 03.30.2006, 10:45 PM

Brian Eno (usually "Music For Airports") and My Bloody Valentine.

Try listening to Freezer Burn/I Wanna Be Yr Dog in the dark with your eyes closed. I couldn't close my eyes for an hour afterwards.

John Violence · 03.30.2006, 10:57 PM

I usually just listen to a sleep mix on my ipod. Sometimes when I sleep I wake up to the chaotic part of the Diamond Sea and have no idea what's going on.

screamingskull · 03.31.2006, 04:51 AM

i also like to listen to sonic youth's sweet shine, that puts me to sleep really easily, but at the end of the song there's about 2 minutes silence then theres alot of screeching, that wakes me up.
