FIIIIIIINNAAAAALLLSSSSSS.

First of all, I'm terribly terribly sorry that it's been a whole week since either of us has posted anything. However, as we all know, its that time of the year where every college student doesn't see the light of day for about a week and a half. Yep, it's time for Finals. Now, this is unfortunate because the vast majority of people that I speak to listen to music while studying, and I thought it would be nice to share some great music for you to listen to whilst studying. When I asked friends (and some strangers resulting in a lot of strange looks), I found that there isn't really one common genre of music people listen to while studying.


 I assumed that people listened to music with a generally slower beat and more laid back feel, yet found out that's only the case with a handful of people. Personally, the type of music I listen to when studying varies from day to day, sometimes in very extreme ways. For example, I find that a good playlist of Glitchy music really keeps me on my toes when studying or doing work. The rough sounds and heavy kicks and snares really keep my mind going and alert, and the instrumentals are perfect then there are no words to cloud my brain. With all that said, another genre I find really good to listen while trying to get through a whole book of notes or writing a massive paper is definitely Hip Hop. A great Hip Hop playlist or album keeps me nodding my head through whatever it is I'm trying to finish. Quick and witty rhymes sometimes get me caught up and distracted from what I'm trying to process, but they inspire me to grunt through and get it done. 


There needs to be more really good Glitch-Hop. 


So, even though finals are almost over for most, here's a couple of my favourite songs to listen to while staying up all night filling my brain to it's limits with course content that usually doesn't even appear on the final itself. Enjoy.


Mos Def - Mathematics(Hip Hop/Rap)


What's there to say about Mos Def. He is just all around incredible. Also, it was his birthday earlier this week. So happy belated, and don't ever stop doing what you're doing. 


Das Racist - Nutmeg(Hip Hop/Rap)


Unreal rap ground out of Brooklyn, Das Racist comes straight at you, no holds, with an absolutely dizzying rhyme schemes and word plays. Have a listen, and check out their whole mix tape. 


Boreta - Bubblin' In The Cut(Glitch/Electric)


First of two members of The Glitch Mob I'll be posting tonight, Boreta brings us this fantastic Glitchy, almost Hip Hop-py track. Anytime this track comes on, well...my brain turns off and listens to it BUT! Once it's over I can power through notes like you wouldn't believe. 


edIT - Screening Phone Calls(Glitch/Electric)


For everyone who hasn't heard edIT before, he's super glitchy. So if you're not into the Glitch genre, this song might not be for you. However if you ARE into the Glitch genre, this song may make you a very very happy person.
