What music is everyone here listening to when they want a break from the political madness?

are my favorites. An ideal morning drive involves a little Coltrane, a little death metal, some Morrissey, and TwentyOne Pilots.

Enya, compilations of music and nature sounds, favorite movie soundtracks and good old 60s rock and roll! There’s nothing like the upbeat sounds of the Supremes singing ‘Stop in the Name of Love’ or hearing ‘Sherry Baby’ or ‘You’re Just To Good To Be True’ by the Four Seasons! And Aretha Franklin! Jimmy Hendrix! That was great music to grow up on!

since I grew up listening to 80s alternative like The Smiths, but now I’m as likely to listen to Xasthur or Leviathan or Deafheaven.

1960s music. A couple of my faves are Quicksilver Messenger Service (first two albums) and the Allman Brothers. Some of their songs help me relax into a meditative state.

I think I'll go there now:
