My lofi isn't cutting it today, but my podcast is pulling too much of my attention so I can't think on my work. I need that sweet spot of interesting enough to quiet my mind but boring enough that I can ignore it and think on my work. Gonna look for a history documentary on Carthage or smth

I cant even with lofi, I call it "headache inducing sounds" many games with "relaxing" soundtracks have a similar problem, like Minecraft. theres just so much thyme (without music) for you to accumulate all of your senses and then there comes the music, wich is just a bit of long (boooring) piano plings and then the nightmare continues, i get dehydrated, the game is """"""FFFFUN"""""""" whith a capital f-u... anyways i dont enjoy listening to samey things...

I dont wanna go on for hours about this, but maybe I will, at some point.

I often throw on bad horror movies on Shudder or something, basically anything that I know I won't actually pay attention to but provides just enough extra chaos to take up the ADHD slack. I feel you on this one, haha.

You may be interested in Ill Advised Records on YouTube then. https://youtu.be/jELW6YU4o8Y They do some synth and a lot of darker sounding lofi skewed hard into the horror/creepy direction. Some of the songs do have samples of old movies and some of the lofi synth has distorted old commercials and stuff that have a creepy feel.
