Playlists and Reading

I’m thinkin’ of programming some playlists for the reading on the bus. Yeah. That’ll help. Sure.

“The Cloud Atlas” will be accompanied by “The Long Walk Home” by Peter Gabriel. An awesome soundtrack he did for “Rabbit Proof Fence”. (Which I’ll admit to not have seen…yet)

I’m wayyyy behind with electronic music. I like instrumental/ambient stuff for reading or writing, but what I have – however out of date – will have to do for when I get into “Dhalgren”. Thinkin’ I’ll make a mix of Future Sound of London, Synesthesia, and some of the more sedate tunes from Autechre (“Bike” comes to mind) and Aphex Twin (“Rhubarb” from “Selected Ambient Works, Vol 2”). That kinda stuff seems to fit the bizarre world of “Dhalgren”. And I’ll have to toss in some Dead Voices On Air, from the only album I got of his (Piss Frond).

Any suggestions?
