A mix I created when having trouble sleeping before my french exams, hence the french title. Best listened to in the dark, after midnight when tired and weary. Also intended to stimulate dreams.
tracklist
| 1 | Radiohead : Let Down |
|
Radiohead HAD to be in this mix. I think they'll make quite a good starter. What I like about listening to music on headphones is that all the emotion and hysteria and whatnot is all in your head and the rest of the room is dark, silent and still. It's a nice but weird combination.

| 2 | Interpol : NYC |
|
This song is quite sleepy, 'I'm sick of spending these lonely nights training myself not to care.' I hear that one.

| 3 | Aereogramme : A Winter's Dischord |
|
When trying to get to sleep, I like songs with clear images in them. This song is a bit of a journey from the desolate guitar to beautiful strings. Lovely.

| 4 | Sigur Ros : Agaetis Byrjun |
|
Firstly, I apologise for not having the accents etc on this one. It couldn't be a goodnight cd without Sigur Ros and this song is beautiful.

| 5 | Owen : Put Your Hands on Me, My Love |
|
I used to really like listening to this in the morning walking to college, 'while the world wakes up early and wastes the day working...' so it reminds me of still being half asleep.

| 7 | Rilo Kiley : It Just Is |
|
Jenny Lewis's voice is just so soothing, it makes good sleepy music. If I haven't chosen this song, it would have been 'melt your heart' from her collaboration with the Watson twins.

This song has that beautiful double bass, listened to with headphones, it's lovely. Also more stuff to make really interesting dreams, Rufus the baptist, indeed.

| 10 | Four Tet : Unspoken |
|
There's something about instrumental music that just makes my imagination run riot, which is brilliant for dreaming. Four Tet are better than most for this.

This is one soothing mix. I need to make this for my own personal dilemmas with sleep deprivation.

agaetis byrjun could put me to sleep on a rollercoaster. i saw them live this past summer, and i was dozing off at the show. kind of ironic.
and how can delinquent hate hate hate radiohead? i can understand not liking them, but i think the hate hate hate is a response to their popularity. it's not like they hurt anybody, except with those glamour shots they used to pose for early on.

I have to disagree with Radiohead having to be in this mix. I hate them. Hate hate hate. But I see how they fit in, so I can't, in good conscience, rate you down for it. I love the rest of the mix, and anything with Four Tet in it is good in my book.
