Yes!

[sweepthenation]

Anberlin - Cities
Tides Of Man

[chassmariee]

The String Quartet tribute to Senses Fail. It's all orchestra music so you can't sing to it, I promise it's good to read to.

[IWasaCamera]

Yikes.

[Yellowcard2006]

Anchor & Braille

Angels & Airwaves (YOU'LL GO ON AN ADVENTURE)

[Robin.]

haha, Iron and Wine my bad.

[inthemidst]

I've been on a major "chill" music phase, and one of my favorite things to do is read and listen to music at the same time, among other things.

Anchor & Braille
City and Colour
The Apathy Eulogy
Promise of Redemption
Cary Brothers
Copeland
Sleeping at Last
Cool Hand Luke
The Glorious Unseen
foreverinmotion
Justin McRoberts
Lydia
Owen
Page France
Sufjan Stevens
So Elated
Jeremy Egnik

[JustinSxE]

Beethoven
Tchaikovsky
J.S. Bach




or Tiesto

[sleepyseanzzz]

maybe you should just listen to white noise so you can concentrate better

[Andy Young]

Mogwai- Happy Songs for Happy People
Caspian- The Four Trees
Scraps of Tape- This is a Copy is This a Copy

[JustinSxE]

maybe you should just listen to white noise so you can concentrate better

THIS

[Klatzke]

volcano choir

[briewer]

Yikes.
Haha YES.

[Regards]

I lol'd.

Also I can't listen to anything with vocals and read at the same time. Too much for me.

[Oddpac87]

I don't listen to anything unless I'm trying to drown out other noise. When I do that, I have to stick to instrumental, or its distracting. I use Explosions in the Sky, Pelican, Russian Circles, and the soundtracks to Requiem for a Dream and Pan's Labyrinth.

[meroki22]

Just read to the sweet docile sounds of faux gangsters at WCC.

[love_american_style]

i find music to be very distracting when i'm trying to read.

[iheartmusic043]

Miike Snow - Animal
White Rabbits - Percussion Gun
Frou frou - Let Go (or the cover version by boys like girls which is acoustic)

[live4music]

Brian Eno's Music for Airports is perfect. It's what I use to study

[UnderMyDreams]

Anchor & Braille

Angels & Airwaves (YOU'LL GO ON AN ADVENTURE)

OHHHHH OHHHHHH HERE WE GO, LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN. TONIGHT. TONIGHT.

Seriously though, AvA is very non distracting for studying and stuff.

[pr0digy]

Anthony Green
Wilco


That Ben Gibbard/ Jay Farrar album seems like it'd be good to read too also..

[jmirand1]

Anything instrumental. Lyrics tend to distract me when I read. Listen to some instrumental jazz - Coltrane, Davis, Monk, the list goes on.

[XLT917]

Port Blue - Owl City on a chill pill and without the lyrics (literally same dude).

[trevorshmevor]

explosions in the sky

[Broclee]

The String Quartet tribute to Senses Fail. It's all orchestra music so you can't sing to it, I promise it's good to read to.

:lol:

[circasuicide]

there is never an occasion to listen to angels and airwaves.

circa survive is good music to read and write to.

[Blakebear]

Jesu.

[MattArkin]

explosions in the sky

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Mum

[briewer]

Anything instrumental. Lyrics tend to distract me when I read. Listen to some instrumental jazz - Coltrane, Davis, Monk, the list goes on.
This. I love listening to Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane while writing papers.

[Brand-new-123]

SAkPvBE9-1U

that's the only thin I ever listen to anyway.

but seriously, This Will Destroy You

[Mademoiselle]

Caspian- Tertia or Four Trees
Pelican- anything
Explosions in the sky- The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place
J.S Bach- Cello Suites (I and II) either the Rostropovich or Mischa Maisky interpretation
Andrew Bird- Armchair Aprocrypha
Neurosis-Given to the Rising

These are my study (which is predominately reading and small thesis papers) tunes. Good luck finding something to keep your head in the zone.

[mmmmmpoetry]

i find music to be very distracting when i'm trying to read.
seriously dawg

[Dymytry Vance]

Music is distracting unless if its GY!BE while rereading the Giver for the fourteenth time.

[Overpass]

Instrumental stuff is always good for reading and writing.

If I had to listen to something with words whilst reading it'd probably be As Tall As Lions.

[only the clouds]

I agree with the people who recommended Caspian and This Will Destroy You. Glass America and Finneyerkes are both good too, Glass America has very little vocals and Finneyerkes has none at all.

If you don't mind lyrics, I suggest Elliott Smith and Slowreader. (no really, Slowreader is good)

[tyramail]

azure ray and sarah brightman

[Hagysaurus Rex]

SIGUR ROS!!
NIN Ghosts
Explosions in the sky
Finneyerkes
Foxhole
Dub Trio (for those heavier moments)
