And Kid A is an awesome album to sleep and wake to.

When I go to sleep, I usually listen to some:
Einsturzende Neubauten
Simon Guibord
Aphex Twin
Aki Onda
"Sonic Nurse"

And talking about velvet uinderground, I just got my income tax refund so Im'a buy a whole bunch of VU shit.

Recently -

Jimi Tenor - Organism (especially My Mind)
Kraftwerk - Electric Cafe

And yes, it's very indie of me, but

All-Time Quarterback

my favorite album to fall asleep to is..

Ooh, good choice fishmonkey - it never occurred to me to listen to that, and I imagine it'd be quite soothing. One of only two Radiohead albums I actually like.

yeah, its a good, one, sends you off like a baby...ZZZZZzzzzzz just thinkin of it now i'd love a sleep, except its 4 pm and i'm working till 6.. boo hoo for me,
whats the other Radiohead album you like?

OK Computer.

The Bends was alright.

my least favorite is The Bends
but i love all their albums.

Try listening to Freezer Burn/I Wanna Be Yr Dog in the dark with your eyes closed. I couldn't close my eyes for an hour afterwards.

and try listening to confusion is sex on full blast when youve drank too much. Or when ur in bed, and ur head is spinning.

I used to listen to a classical radio station, but lately I've just been watching movies till I fall asleep.

the other day when I was already sleeping my Cd player was still on, and this music was on my dreams!, It's was SO fucking amazing, I was like...travelling to diferent places and my human form was just a little shining dot....:confused:

weird.

Hahah that's happened to me before.
I was listening to Nirvana, and in my dream my friend Allison was singing In Bloom and she sounded just like Kurt. And I was all jealous hahahah.

Good call on the Satie...

NNCK is a favorite bedtime one for me. Intonomancy especially

Spookily enough I was just going to come here and write the exact same thing. Although I suspect that you don't have the weird dream about the insect eating your blood every time you do listen to it while sleeping.

I can't sleep with music on. When I lay my head down, I demand silence.
If I had to choose something, though, it would probably be Do Make Say Think, because of the soothing repetitiveness of it.

as lame as it sounds, myself.
