when you are so hungover that you actually become the hangover

#6

I’m currently living through this scenario and this morning I am trying:-
Bill Callahan
Sufjan
Big Thief
Sigur Ros

Hoping at least one of those will provide some relief…

#7

maybe some nice jazz, give some Ornette Coleman a go. Graceland by Paul Simon is surprisingly good hangover material. Maybe some of the early/more melodic Autechre albums too

#8

love everyone you’ve listed but productivity would go down a lot if I was sleep deprived and started listening to that lot

#9

albums:

BPB: Master and Everyone (I See a Darkness is better but too much existential dread for a hangover)

JY: Just Beyond the River (his best album by a mile and I won’t hear any different)

Oh man, I need something much less mellow in these situations. Usually something a bit more electronic and dance-ish like Daphni, Todd Terje or Sophie.

#11

I agree you need something rhythmic that will keep you up. But Sophie would kill me right now

#12

Ended up listening to ‘One Fine Morning’ four times in a row while staring blankly at my laptop. Think it’s done the trick tbh.

#13

Yeah, I’m maybe just thinking Immaterial on repeat tbf

Salad Days by Mac Demarco is a proper hungover hazy summer album for me. We went through a big phase of listening to Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs as well around about the same time.

J Dilla - Donuts

This is like a kind of medicine

According to last.fm it’s my most played album, so that’s a lot of hangovers!

Nick Drake; Pink Moon.

I find Further by Flying Saucer Attack to fit this bill sometimes.

#19

Be Here Now works as a hangover record imo, something to do with the music being as rotten as you feel

#20

You Are Free - Cat Power
S/T - Velvet Underground (skipping Murder Mystery)
Veedon Fleece - Van Morrison
On The Beach - Neil Young

Actually, this is just list some of your favourite albums time again isn’t it? All good for a hangover though.

#21

Works for just about any occasion. See also, D’Angelo’s Voodoo. Turn that hangover into a warm bath of sound.

Aphex Twin - Drukqs

Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline is my fallback album for these stiuations. The same applies for parenthood induced sleep deprivation at work.

#24

This, with caveat that if I’m both hungover and sleepy I’d probably swerve it for fear of falling into a post-booze coma.
