This specific video has helped me buckle down and get shit done so many times. I’ve even made loops of songs I have copies of on my computer for this kind of thing. The repetition OH MY GOD it tickles my brain in just the right way so as to boost productivity. It’s great how that can cancel out the ADHD when I have deadlines looming.
Video game music does the same thing. Death by Glamour gets me in the ZONE.
I like to do that with great albums. I’ll listen to the whole thing, just, over and over and over again. Until I’ve got pretty much the whole thing memorized. Then I go on to another one. I’ll only do it that way if the whole album is banging, though.
Past examples include:
- Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
- My Morning Jacket - Circuital
- Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers
- Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid Maad City (& DAMN)
- RadioHead - Kid A (& OK Computer)
- Jeff Tweedy - Warm
- The Tragically Hip - Day For Night
EDIT: couldn’t find the full Tweedy Album, so just linked my favorite song from it
