Music to chill to
 

Sorry for another "recommned me some music thread". but, please recommend me some chill music [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm thinking, it's 11:30am on Sunday morning, and I'm scrolling through Itunes. I see lots of newer stuff (Block Party/Wolf Parade/Interpol/White Stripes/whatever), and some classic rock, and more mainstream rock (Coldplay, Dave Matthews), and some reggae, but had trouble finding something good for the moment.

I settled on the Shins. Another good choice could have been Aimee Mann. So I'm not sure what I'm searching for. Maybe some coffeeshop music?

go!

you'll get elliot smith, so i may as well be the first. a bit depressing at times...but great Sunday morning music.

edit to add wilco...i also really like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on Sunday mornings.

Both of Michelle Branch's CDs are really great to just chill too. It's my current non-tilt music.

Non-instrumental:

Re: Music to chill to

Re: Music to chill to
 

try out any of the Mark Farina "Mushroom Jazz" series, there is five volumes.....it is all great, the 4 and 5 have a bit more of a hip/hop flavor.

i do love the other choices mentioned, Nick Drake and Kings of Convience especially, and Wilco is one of the best bands of all time, but for chill music, check out Farina.

cheer. J.

best chillin song ever

Re: Music to chill to
 

Jay Z - My First Song

is a chill song to roll to

EDIT: Nevermind, your tastes dont look like you enjoy rap

Re: Music to chill to
 

The American Analog Set. I think they fall in with your musical taste (which is similar enough to mine from what I gather). Oh yeah, and they're good. Some mp3s:

The Kindness of Strangers
Know by Heart

Re: Music to chill to
 

try some ambient/chill...

Zero 7
Azure Ray
Hooverphonic

and some trip hoppy styff:

Esthero
Portishead
Massive Attack

Re: Music to chill to
 

Get both 'Dead Ringer' and 'Since We Last Spoke' by RJD2. RJD2 is I guess what most would consider 'hip hop', but iirc all of these songs are instrumental, and they're very groovy. Not like *thump thump thump*, but just groovy.... trust me on this, I think you'd dig it.

Massive Attack - Mezzaine (the album).

Re: Music to chill to
 

Massive Attack's 100th Window is another good one.

Re: Music to chill to
 

Anything by Jack Johnson is good, the Curious George soundtrack is amazing. smoke weed to add to the relaxation factor

Re: Music to chill to
 

Pink Floyd, the original chill and still the best. Jack Johnson is coo' too.
