For you scholars out there..what are some tunes that you listen too while studying? I have some that I listen to, but I need more! Right now I usually listen to Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, Nin(Ghosts), Sigur Ros (I recently got into them, but the only time I can listen is if I am studying or sleeping), Mozart (Yea...I know), DCFC..

I need some recommendations.

BTW, I usually am studying Calculus and math..(I am an engineering major)

    I listen to John Coltrane. At ALL times.

    It's been a few years since the last time I had to worry about studying music, but I've been listening to April by Sun Kil Moon while reading this past week. Roughly the same concept.

    i can't have anything with words. it's very distracting.

    so sigur ros, explosions in the sky, sometimes early stuff from the verve.
    and like that... he's gone.

    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
