When you're in a mellow mood what do you typically listen to? Especially if you're working on the computer.

I'm really into stuff by Chet Baker and Miles Davis, and I've been listening to a few Pink Floyd tunes lately.
 
Alice in chains unplugged. Floyd works too. If I'm not as chill, I'll listen to Tool.

And for whatever reason, Bone thugs is another go to.
 
Tool. Hondo and I have something in common. Who knew?
 
If I need to slow down from the heavy riffs of Motley Crue, GnR, Kiss ...

I go with Elton John, Billy Joel. Or a 70's playlist

But ...

This is my philosophy when it comes to music:

I like to sit around with my 12 cats, burn candles and eat boxes of Haagen Daz listening to my favorite heroes like Sarah Mclachlan, Tori Amos, Melissa Ethridge and Indigo Girls. It makes me feel like I really wasn't a victim of rape or painstakingly ugly. I can wear my stretchy pants freely and sip into my favorite period lint ball "Garfield Loves Chocolate" Nighty.

 
Oh yeah on a serious note, laugh if you will but Jim Croce is fucking golden. Besides the petiole sob story "Time in a Bottle", his shit fucking rocks!

Brian WIlson "Smile" or Pet Sounds

a lil Bach

Post Prohibition jazz. I'm not a fan of the movie but "The Talented Mr. Ripley" has a fucking killer soundtrack inspired from 1940-50's Italian Jazz.

70's Reggae and early Dance Hall.

Temple of The Dog

The mellower sounds of The Pixies

Johnny and Santo

JUst to name a few...

Tool is great, but that's not relaxing music to me... More like let's fuck some shit up. If you've ever been to one of their concerts in their prime, not relaxing at all. It's like a cocaine depository up your ass.

Well, well.

Well, well... I share a lil piece of my cold going to hell soul.

Thanks DJ, great topic. I hope you find yourself relaxed and busting out the typewriter. Serious.

I loathed Billy Joel, Elton and the King Neil Diamond growing up but I like that shit now. Classic musicians.
