TL;DL Vol 2 - Drone Therapy

In our first mix we explored rage and the release of said rage. I also explored this when cursing someone out at the grocery store recently. Because the outside world can be such a nightmare, I often listen to music that helps me zone out while wandering around. Repeating, "calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean," over and over again wasn't helping and it was drawing unwanted attention.

So, dear reader, I present you with TL;DL Vol 2: Drone Therapy. Thirty-odd minutes of hypnotizing sounds to keep your mind occupied while the universe keeps expanding and irritating.

dustdevil & crow is a project by Bendle (The Window and The Door) and Michael Duane (DUSTdevils). They very graciously share their creations here.

Atlantic Drone is a band headed by the superb artist and illustrator Steven Cerio. Their debut album can be found here and you can order the 2nd album along with prints and stuff here.

Finding An Emerald City's records is near impossible, but you can buy the songs in several formats here.

Grails and Tarentel aren't all that hard to find, but you can get lots of their stuff at Temporary Residence at fair prices and, in my experience, the service is great.

Track 1 from while speaking softly you can hear the insects sing by dustdevil & crow
Track 2 from Take Refuge in Clean Living by Grails
Track 3 from Atlantic Drone by Atlantic Drone
Track 4 from Circa Scaria by An Emerald City
Track 5 from Ghetto Beats On the Surface Of The Sun by Tarentel

TL;DL Vol 1 - Can I Scream?

And here we go!

I don't know about you, but the world is really pissing me off a lot lately. Oil spills, pointless wars, Europeans coming here and riding bicycles on the sidewalk when the law clearly states you must ride in the street...I could go on for ages! The point is, when I get angry, sometimes it helps to listen to music by people who sound even angrier. So I present to you, dear readers, the very first Too Long;Didn't Listen mini mix: Can I Scream? Tension relief in under 20 minutes without any goddamn Buddhist chanting or chimes. Suck on that, Beastie Boys!

Welcome!

Greetings and welcome to my new blog. It's a hectic world out there and you don't always have time to find music for the soundtrack of your life. Sure, there are tons of places to read about and download music, but did you know that some albums can run 40 minutes or longer? Longer than 40 minutes? Who has that kind of time? You're a busy person always on the go. You have cyberstalking and twittering to do and frappuccinos to drink. That's why we're here.

We here at Too Long; Didn't Listen understand your needs and will do everything we can to give you maximum variety in as short a time as possible. ADHD isn't a condition. It's a way of life.
