This post is sober

You ever get sleepy in the evening and take a nap that leaves you unable to sleep at 3AM? More accurately, you ever get stupidly drunk, stay up late, end up somewhere you don't live, walk home at 8AM, drink coffee at Waffle House along the way, and, upon failing to get back to sleep due to a caffeinated whirlwind of thought-processes attempting to piece together last night's ridiculousness, concede to just going about the day's business riding on little sleep, which leads to you crashing at 8PM and being stuck awake at 3AM with work drawing imminently close? Yeah, right, me neither, but if I did, I'd sure feel dumb and awkward - almost as dumb and awkward as the phrasing and length of that last sentence.

However, if I were stuck awake at 3AM due to a series of events that made me feel dumb and awkward, I'd probably be listening to some chill instrumental, jazzy, electronic post-rock, like this:



Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

EDIT (by Chris):

Everyone knows the best Tortoise album is TNT. Let's substantiate this. WWPD? (What Would Pitchfork Do?) Pitchfork's near-canonical Top 100 albums of the 90's listing, posits TNT as the 91 best album of the epoch.

Apparently, ATP likes Millions, though, as Tortoise played the album in its entirety for ATP's "Don't Look Back" series (which inspects classic albums through live sets of whole albums) at All Tomorrow Parties' First festival in New York. Either way:



Tortoise - TNT (Mega Upload)

Also, Tortoise's one-off collaborative album with everyone's favorite solipsist, troubadour Will Oldham (as Bonnie "Prince"Billy), is interesting, if only for the vastly reworked covers.
