hellisonHave survived first week of uni! It's gone well so far, am mostly scared now by the thought of writing an essay for the first time in Manymany years. It'll be fine tho. FINE.
The main problem this week has actually been the distance - the uni is 60 miles away and driving up/staring at screens/driving back is leaving me knackered - possibly due to being out of practice at concentrating that much, so I'm sure it'll get better. Going to try the train next week and see how that goes (less concentrating but earlier start and later back...).
Either way what I really need is Music. An hour and half in the car or a couple of hours on the train is a loooong trip to be stuck with crappy radio and the same cds I've had for years. I may even finally invest in an mp3 player!
So, suggestions please ! Music for drivng. music for train, music for studying to... what works for you? Ooh or podcasts! Give me SOUNDS!
ETA on a similar note, what's a good music player wossname these days? Does it have to be ipod?

Date: 2011-09-30 09:24 am (UTC)Podcasts - I like Dave Gorman and Frank Skinner on Absolute, though I keep forgetting to listen. Ricky Gervais's old XFM shows are fucking hilarious, mainly due to Karl Pilkington, who started off as the show's producer but when Ricky and Stephen Merchant started talking to him they discovered he's a comedy genius (mainly because he's a bit thick). I have them saved somewhere I think, I can dig them out for you. I know Gervais is a bit Marmite though, you either love him or hate him. The Adam & Joe Show on BBC6 Music was ace, it's finished but you might be able to get some of them somewhere.
I posted on the Loos looking for podcat requests, I'll see if I can find that post...
Music for study - I have loads and I can share it with you. Some binaural stuff that's good for concentration. I'll sort them out for you later on today!
