The music I like
Same as in every other situation I listen to music in

Are you one of those people that need a special playlist to work out?

>>8624834
Yes, anime soundtracks and Queen.

I was thinking some ambient shit would be good for reading public, any recommendations. Usually, i just listen to Chopin's nocturnes but that gets too distracting.

>>8624834
>manages to get triggered by the idea that some music fits some circumstances better than others

>>8624833
Nah that's way too intense, would only be appropriate if I was reading someone like Houellebecq or Irvine Welsh

>>8624851
(iii) is pretty mellow and monotonous if you're not paying much attention to the music

I don't read in loud places.

>>8624864
What if it's something light just to pass the time. I don't think anyone's reading Pynchon on the bus home

>>8624869
I like to read Plato on my bus trips.

>>8624869
I don't like it when I can't devote 100 percent of my attention to a book.
Even if it's something "light" for entertainment
It also makes my head hurt.
>>8624871
Buses are relatively quiet.
Just the gentle humming of the engine.

>>8624827
Field recordings of libraries

>>8624874
People are loud though

>>8624885
People here don't speak on the bus

>>8624884

This shit makes the back of my neck feel really weird, need something else

>>8624827
Ministry, Skinny Puppy, NIN, and sometimes stuff like Cabaret Voltaire or Throbbing Gristle, though I don't know them as well so they sometimes become distracting.

know the feel. I genuinely love the feel of reading on a train or in a cafe, but no one where I live has any sense of people around them, volume control, or how to keep their kids under control. is this specific to anglophonic cultures?

it all reminds me of the adage about champagne and sewage

>>8624887
Same here, but the niggers do. Well, usually they yell and scream, but noise is noise.

>>8624940
Same in Scandinavia and we're supposed to be quiet people.
Don't think you're gonna find the place you want

>>8624950
We don't have niggers here

>>8624990
Did you die and go to heaven?

>>8625006
No.
It's far from heaven.
We have some gypsies instead.

Just listen to some drone/ambient. I can drop you guys a playlist if you want me to.

Can I please live with you

>>8625022
Is it really that weird/unusual to you that there are places in the world where a homogenous group of people live without blacks/arabs/meme migrant of the week?
>>8625024
Nah,a little bit more west

>>8625022
But Anon, if you were to live in a place without niggers, you'd just project your insecurities on other minorities!

>>8625027
>Is it really that weird/unusual to you that there are places in the world where a homogenous group of people live without blacks/arabs/meme migrant of the week?
We're on an American website here, why are you even asking?

>>8625027
I can't leave my house for most of the hours of the day even in my "safe" neighborhood because gun-toting thieves roam every single street of every single neighborhood of this city

They riot four times a year and we have to be advised to stay away

Certain areas cops can't even go into

They are constantly screaming and jiving everywhere you go, you can't ever stop listening to them and their rap music and their shouting

Now there are Arabs and Chinese people who are just as bad

Please I will tend your goats

>>8625029

ya asians, indians so frightening.

that sucks. I remember being a kid and my mother (angrily) taking me to a doctor because I wasn't a noisy asshole ("abnormal" as she kept putting it.) he had to sit her down and explain introversion to her. I don't think she ever got it.

>>8625029
>insecurities

There are bullet holes visible from my window

All rhetoric aside, even a minority of black people make life a living hell

>>8625031
it can't be that bad.
You are just exagarating
>>8625030
I assume nothing about your nationalty until you mention it.

>>8625031
which city?

>>8625020
Well, do it

>>8625043
Atlanta

>>8625055
Thank God I don't live in the US

>>8625020
I'm op, I'd appreciate that man. I was thinking ambient but don't know anyone beyond Eno

>>8625099
Also, what the fuck happened to this thread

>>8625099
Alright mate stay put, I got you covered

>>8625100
Someone mentioned buses and we sorta started talking about niggers because they act loud on the bus (Or I have been told they act loud)
So niggers ruined the thread

>>8625104
OK now that we covered that, can we please focus on the main subject again?

>>8625107
I don't read in noisy places

>>8625036
>bullet holes visible from my window

If that isn't insecure, I don't know what is.

>>8625104
>So niggers ruined the thread

Holy fuck, they can't be stopped

Houellebecq and Welsh? muh niggas!

>>8625099
Not the original guy, but here's some recs from me if you like Eno:
Tim Hecker - Atlas
Simon Scott - Navigare
Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster & Panaiotis - Deep Listening
Biosphere - Substrata
Nils Frahm - Felt (and a large majority of the rest of Nils Frahm's discography)

Sounds of the whales.

>>8624827
Bob Dylan

>non meme answer
Jordi Savall. I know, kind of plebby but for some reason he works to both block out the noise, keep me relaxed and not distract me. Also aesthetic af

>>8625213
Legend, thanks a lot

>>8624827
white noise. works wonders.

Alright here's that playlist. Enjoy.

Thanks senpai

Grand Trio in E Major by E.T.A. Hoffmann
I always listen to it on repeat when I read on the train.

>>8624827
White noise or simulated fan/airplane engine noises

>>8624827
I usually read with headphones on but no music.

I turn them on when there's a lot of sound (like teenagers on the train).

I listen to bluegrass/folk mostly.

>>8624869
I tried reading Kant on the bus, I think I only ended up even more confused, and tired.

>not listening to an audio book while you read

Let's you read twice as fast

>>8624838

>>8624869
I've been reading Pynchon on the bus to and from work. 4 days out of 5 it's quiet, so it's alright.

>>8624827
I'm not a self absorbed pseud so I don't read in public to begin with.

Blonde redhead are pretty good for reading.

>>8624827
Nothing, I can concentrate in my reading just fine, it took me a little bit of practice though and I do it mostly out of necessity.

>>8624827
Why is he so happy? he shouldn't be

>>8626698
nigga not everyone is sad

>>8624827
Try listening to white noise. Actually, I prefer pink noise because there's more depth. Blocks out loud assholes on the bus/train. No words to distract you. Kind of creates a meditative vibe for me.

>>8626379
what kinda judgemental bullshit is this?

Seems like YOU feel afraid of being judged by being a "self absorbed pseud" by others when reading in public.

I frankly don't give a shite, and do what feels good. Enjoy your life brah, sincerely!

>>8625482
Used this today works real well

>>8625213
>twee ambient/minimalism
