Perfect music that is able to settle into the background when you want to focus and then is almost euphoric when they are hitting a climax in the jam and you are being really productive. Today is Billy Strings - Live Vol.1 but I have listened to Goose and Grateful Dead sets on youtube in the past. Great thing to integrate into your workflow when its getting nicer outside.

adding onto this with recommending king gizzard as good background music as well 👀 especially their live albums which get super jammy

even if you're not high they're still pretty chill and good vibes

i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andré 3000’s ‘new blue sun’ has been a haven for me since its release.
the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply can’t measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :’)
when the talking heads over at headspace just can’t cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^
here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse:
• brian eno — ’music for airports’
• hiroshi yoshimura — ‘music for nine post cards‘
• adrianne lenker — ‘instrumentals’
• floating points & pharoah sanders — ‘promises’
i should do a playlist of these…

i loved these at school and now at my job when i have to dive into spreadsheets and research i like to have them playing, and if i’m at home i usually burn a complementary candle. also when i read fiction books i sometimes like to listen to one of these in the background with a vibe matching the book
i also like the ones that don’t have jazz and are just background sound without music. also there’s some channels that do book or movie themed ones like this one that has studio ghibli background ambience videos

Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
