            As finals week approaches, it’s time to hit the books. Naturally, none of us really want to study, which means we’ll probably be pulling a few too many late nights and all-nighters before we finally head homeward for December break. If anything makes those long hours better, besides a tall cup of strong coffee and a bunch of snacks, it’s a good quality study playlist – one that will get you through many hours bent over your desk, possibly crying your eyes out over a paper about Pleistocene Skeletal remains or German Augmented 7th Chords.

If you’re too tired to function, here’s a handcrafted playlist that is calm without making you fall asleep – a good mix of trippy atmospheric tunes, acoustic jams, and a few old classics – guaranteed to get your through a good chunk of that all-night study sesh.

Listen to all glorious 6 hours here! For now, here’s a preview of the playlist that has something for every need:

 

When you want something a little different…

Banshee Beat – Animal Collective

Einstein on the Beach, Knee Play 5 – Philip Glass

 

When you want something chill…

Fake Plastic Trees – Radiohead

Apartment – Young The Giant

Constant Conversations – Passion Pit

Little Wars – Unwed Sailor

 

When you want something a little sweet….

Sea of Love – Cat Powers

What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

I Need My Girl – The National

 

When you want something a little fun…

Bar on A – Greg Holden

Queen of the Scene – Hot Chelle Rae

 

Happy Listening!
