Hangover Music!

Okie

Howdy all,

We all know the feeling (Well...most of us do!) Rolling over in the bed in the morning/afternoon. Everything you did the night before is a complete blur. You lie in bed, just within reach of the CD player, you need a soundtrack to help you collect all your memories from the night before; who you insulted, what exactly you were drinking, how did my jeans make it to the top of the telegraph pole outside my house, why coke tastes so damn good?

So I'm in the process of making a CD for myself, entitled "The Best Hangover Album In The World Ever!"

Anyway, at the moment I have only a few songs together (although not in any particular order. I will probably arrange them after I have a full CD's worth) The songs themselves don't necessarily need to have any link with drink, going out, hangover etc.

So far it looks a bit like this...

The Beatles:- Here Comes The Sun
The Kinks:- Waterloo Sunset
Lou Reed:- Perfect Day
Paul Weller:- A Brand New Start
Led Zeppelin:- Thank You
Lynyrd Skynyrd:- Tuesday's Gone
Rolling Stones:- Wild Horses
Kris Kristofferson:- Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down (One of my Dads favourites, great song, suits the mood, fantastic lyrics )

So, if anyone has any ideas then let me know! Basically, "Songs for the fragile generation!" *groan*

err dunno quite what your trying to put together in terms of sound.. but some random non-involving tracks:

slowdive - alison
yo la tengo - you can have it all
spacemen 3 - hypnotized
smog - bloodflow
the falcon project - soul divider
dinosaur jr - feel the pain
bonobo - sleepy seven
gorkys zygotic mynci - face like summer
fugazi - waiting room
oooh and bruce springsteen - dancing in the dark

and even better lee marvin - i was born under a wandering star.. only person with a bigger alcohol problem would be shane mcgowan

Well in terms of sound it's just stuff that's not gonna tear your head off. Just fairly easy goin' music but without going all soft as a fresh shíte on things.

God I wish I could explain things better :rolleyes: (it made sense in MY head!!)

For example you could have Metallica's "Bleeding Me" but you wouldn't have "Battery"

Music to ease you through the tender parts of your hangover. Jesus it sounds like a friggin' ad campaign!!

Thought of a few more:

Mundy:- Mexico
Blink 182:- Adam's Song

Robbo

Anything by the Boards of Canada, the Stone's "Sister Morphine", and the Clash - "Straight to Hell".

pyure

kris kristofferson - sunday mornin comin down, cool song
metallica + corrosion of conformity - tuesdays gone (actaully alot of stuff from that session)
the doors - the end....classic stuff, lie there and feel sorry for urself as the 10mins of weird guitar sounds dig out more and more horrify memories from the nite before hehe

Mossy Monk

the whole of the 18 album by Moby does it for me. sometimes Chemical Brothers - Surrender when i want a change. both are great for easy listening when nursing a sore head

Dun

Nirvana's Unplugged Session. Through in Pearl Jam's Unplugged Session too. Ah heck, through in all of Nirvana and PJ's stuff - it's as hard or soft as you want (need) it to be

Bateman

La Femme D'Argent by Air is always good for that. And so is Music for the Jilted Generation by the Prodigy, and the Manics' Everything Must Go.

Shane

Billy Joel - Pianoman
Semisonic - Closing Time

byte

Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust (album)
Chemical Brothers - Surrender (album)
Leftfield - Leftism (album)
Nirvana - Something in the Way
Nirvana - In Utero album
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Metallica - That bass solo that I can't remember the name of!

Or depending on mood, Metallica's cover, So What, on Garage Inc!

pugwall

Air - Moon Safari
Pheonix - United
