Post-rock is nearly ideal coding music.

[SwellJoe]

I'm picky about my post-rock, but I like Jesu a lot, Neurosis occasionally, and Pelican OK. Most of it is just too vague and meandering...but records that lack lyrics (or identifiable ones, anyway) are best for my productivity.

[jraines]

The last song I heard that really blew me away was "The Catastrophe and The Cure" by this group. I agree that it's good coding music too.

[altay]

Definitely -- Tortoise is an old standby.

The name "post-rock" feels a little absurd to me, though.

I just uploaded this today to share to a friend. Prepare to laugh a lot: http://kirigin.com/music/dc.html

I've been listening to Timbaland's "Give it to me" and "The way I are" for about 2 weeks straight. Normally, Autechre, Tool, Boards of Canada, AphexTwin, Radiohead, and NIN populate my playlists.

Any Trouble - Where are all the nice girls?

I just discovered this old Stiff Records act from the 80's, and love several of their songs. I likes my rock and roll obscure.

Earlier today I was listening to the new record from the New Pornographers.

Squarepusher, Hello Meow

"My Red Hot Car" is one of my favorite songs. Gotta get the extended version though.

Kenna, Out of Control

Kenna's new album was OK, but his first one, New Sacred Cow was a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite album of 2003.

This is the video of the first single, it was adapted from an Oscar nominated short film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=owS1coeoWEc

"Orbital - Doctor?"

I'm at work, and my work playlist on anywhere.fm has a bunch of Orbital on it...very soothing. :)

Death Is the Road to Awe, Clint Mansell

[matth]

The entire soundtrack to The Fountain is pure excellence. The Last Man is my favorite track off that album, after Death is the Road to Awe. Very haunting and beautiful.

[mynameishere]

Cat Stevens, foreigner suite. Something none of you have listened to and probably never will.

My boss on a conference call making my IQ drop. I'd better put on my headphones now.
