Here's the deal: I have a nasty fever and a headache. Is there anything smooth and non-abrupt that I could listen to and not be bored? Abrupt changes in volume/pronounced snare hits sort of make my head cringe. Volume doesn't seem to be a problem.

If anyone suggests smooth Jazz, I'll smack a ho.

What do you listen to usually?

also lol at the ho-smacking comment

EDIT: In the meantime I'm listening to Elliot Smith's New Moon and I'd say it's pretty smooth and non-abrupt. Definitely worth checking out.

Hmm, I suppose an old Warren Zevon record made me feel a little bit better once when I was en fuego with fever. Hallucinations will make just about anything sound good, though, I suppose.

Rain Of Blood - Slayer

You could try Frou Frou/Imogen Heap she's easy to listen to and absolutely incredible.

Brian Eno Another Green World or Before And After Science

Portishead?

Stereolab?


How about some real jazz?

Miles Davis Kind Of Blue

Gene Ammons Boss Tenor

Coleman Hawkins At Ease With…

Bill Evans Portrait In Jazz

Another vote for Nick Drake, but especially Pink Moon - it's simple vocals, piano and acoustic guitar, nothing more. And it's beautiful.

[EDIT] Should warn you though, you better look for other stuff as well - Pink Moon will only grant you a 30 minute reprieve! It's a short one!

 

[ken36]

How about some hymns? Just a thought.

I have this, very soothing classical


Now there's a jazz version

 

[Uncle Erik]

Anything from Brian Eno's ambient series.

Some Bill Evans might be nice, too.
