to write to: probably some mathrock, e.g. Battles, or Giraffes? Giraffes! Has a nice rhythm.
to read to: has to be something I already know front or back so it drowns out other noise and I don't get distracted by it because I don't really find it interesting, or that I can tune it out, not that I still don't think it's good. So, like, Homework by Daft Punk or Since I Left You by the Avalanches (excluding songs with heavy uh lyricism, e.g. the one I'm thinking of that I definitely couldn't read to is Frontier Psychiatrist, but Etoh and Dominoes I could read to, etc.)

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 15:13:53 2015 No.6399051 I don't really write (I do but its very infrequent), and I rarely listen to music while I read. When I do listen to music while I read, it's either: Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), Ambient, or Classical with the frequency being in that order.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 15:17:58 2015 No.6399063 >>6399000 Not this. They aren't even the two greatest forms of art you moron. They're both isolations of single senses. Having sex utilizes just about every last one of our dozen or so senses in a way that is both useful and pleasurable.

>>6399000
Can't speak for anyone else but I'm not splitting my attention between the two activities. Usually if I put on music while reading its to drown out some other ambient noise that is bothering me, like my asshole roommate, or my asshole roomate and his shitty friends, or my asshole neighbors. Or if visiting my parents its to drown out the shit they watch on tv (e.g. soap operas or Dr. Phil if mom, Maurt Povich if dad).

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 13 15:22:47 2015 No.6399079 >>6399064 So you reduce music to mere ambiance and are incapable of truly appreciating it as art. Listen to constant generated noise if you want to drown things out

I'm actually the anon you were responding to but no, you're wrong, so get off your high fucking horse. The music I listen to while reading is music I've already heard countless times before and know I enjoy. Now kindly fuck off and take your self-righteous and condescending assumptions with you.

I have heard of none of these, so thanks.
Mind giving respective best albums for those? I mean, it wouldn't be difficult for me to just pick the first thing that pops up on the Pirate Bay as the first to try out, but since you enjoy them, I presume, if they have a multi-disced discography, you've listened to them and can point out which I should listen to first, etc.
