Reccomend me some music!

edited June 2008 in The Porch
I'm currently in the midst of my finals and I like to listen to relaxed music whilst revising. I'm looking for acoustic stuff, very light and chilled, a lot like the song 'Guaranteed' off Ed's solo album.

Any suggestions would be great!

    Awesome guys, been checking out some of the stuff suggested and its all great.

    I just remembered the name of the guy from the Sony Bravia advert with all the bouncy balls; Jose Gonzales. His stuff is amazing, very calm and some great guitar playing. If you havent heard any of his stuff, definitely check him out, particularly the album Veneer.

    But, I would also suggest beck- "sea change", Beirut- "the flying club cup", and Fields - "everything last winter".

    Good luck studying.

    If you go Beck, Mutations is better than Sea Change.

    You need to get John Doe's last two albums -- they're excellent. I think the Shins would also be a good choice.

    When you're finished chillin, and ready to rev it up...try Grinderman on for size. It'll knock your socks off...
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride" ! Unknown
