MUSIC TO STUDY TO

It's a Sunday and I have a metric tonne of parasitology notes to get through today, so I need music that you find conducive to studying; instrumental, pop, folk, techno, anything, I have no distraction issues when it comes to lyrics in my music (this song, for instance -- Imogen Heap's 'The Walk' -- is one of my failsafe study songs). Titles would be great, uploads would be even better, because I don't do the filesharing thing.

I'm planning another music-spazzery pimp post for one of my study breaks, so I won't leave you totally devoid of reciprocation.

This song is the only reason I ever finished my thesis:

I'm a big fan of singer/songwriter-ish music when I study - Anna Nalick, Josh Kelley, John Mayer, Tori Amos, Nickel Creek, Jeffrey Foucault, Tegan & Sara, etc. Except for when it's two in the morning and I have to stay awake, then I switch to poppy, dancey music a la Britney Spears, Pink, Christina Aguilera. And my default music for every situation is Kelly Clarkson. (Yes, I realize my taste in music is wonderfully bourgeois. I've accepted this.)

I'm uploading some random stuff now, mostly just songs I tend to listen to on repeat. Will reply back in a minute with links.

I forget what music has been shopped to you already, and what I like to study to varies according to my mood. But I can't not give people music, so:

The Harlem Shakes, "Old Flames" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/kio32f)
The Twilight Sad, "That Summer, At Home, I Had Become the Invisible Boy" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/gew46h)
Songs: Ohia, "Captain Badass" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/mtgbwk)
Tinariwen, "Cler Achel" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/in0bg2)
