y'all, i'm trying for the life of me to concentrate on my editing but am getting hella distracted by the on-coming hols and what comes with it - holiday shopping. no to mention it's a crazy 70-something-degrees outside, and therefore i'd like to be out there. in december. freaky.
so, i've been trying to add to my list of "focus on work" music, most of which tends to be soothing and instrumental so as not to distract. like most of badly drawn boy's stuff on the about a boy soundtrack.
can anyone make any suggestions? give a girl a break.
cheers.

Hmm.. Broken Social Scene, maybe? Sigur Ros? Hmm.. Maybe Massive Attack, Cat Power or Sia? I donno...
Sometimes I get the whole “focus on work” music and “sleeping” music confused, so some of that might be a bit depressing and sleepy like.
Badly Drawn Boy is a good call tho.
Oh, and also.. I just got “Close to Paradise” by Patrick Watson. It’s pretty mellow.
