Hey Mr DJ: Zoning Out Edition

Christmas is mercifully over. This week, every year, my family falls into a sort of daze as we recuperate from the excitement (or crippling depression) of Christmas and prepare for the festivities of New Year’s.

This week is simple. Let’s have some good music to zone out to. Something…ambient. Or music to drop acid to. It’s all about an altered mental state this week.

I’m not out of my mind, just out of my head. Make it weird. Or pensive. Hypnotize me. I shall be unfazed.

No dedications. I’m checked out for the rest of 2018. Here are some starters in line with the theme. Don’t overthink this one. Don’t think at all, really.

Blackhole by Beck

Natural One by Folk Implosion

Holland by Black Angels

Under the Milky Way by The Church

Oshin by Diiv

Fade Into You by Mazzy Star

Mascara by Deftones

Black Soap by Ex Cops

The Pressman by Primus

The Democratic Circus by The Talking Heads

Orestes by A Perfect Circle (best of this list, IMO)

I Know It’s You by Crystal Method

Watch the Sky For Me by Powerman 5000

Happy New Year.
