Typically I try to listen to a new album while reading a new book, as it makes both more memorable for me.

For example: I associate The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats with early parts of East of Eden, Lincoln by TMBG with Cannery Row

Depends on the book. But regardless it has to be instruments or have very little lyrical content, as to not distract from the writing.
For example, I've been listening to Agalloch - White EP and similar stuff while reading various Mythology books. It fits nicely.

>Concerning non-vocal music, by which I mean one involving any use of pitched musical instruments, it is humbly and with all deference my opinion that all such activities should be abandoned in favour of purely vocal chants handed down through the oral tradition. It is more than likely that if a free reign of music was permitted in a society displaying even a slight state of decadence, there would remain very few musicians who display a true understanding of the traditional order and the purpose of music within it, which is a role purely subordinate to that of the traditional institutions; instead, as in the case of Europe, we might face ourselves with certain groups infiltrating the musical tradition and subverting it from within. Certainly, the historical record would bear this out. The events of the past few decades with the emergence of the most vile and repulsive 'composers' such as Erik Satie and Erwin Schulhoff offer the perfect example.

I try not to always listen to music when Im reading only if im bored or the area Im in is particularly quiet.
If I do its classical but mostly on the calmer side, I can listen while I read but prefer it not to be too busy, its even more distracting

>> No.14409600

>>14409542
basically, I need to listen to music so I don't listen to my neighbours showering, or talking, or dropping stuff on the floor. But yeah, calm classical music is the best for that.
