For me personally, I can listen to music with lyrics if the songs are ones that I've heard many, many times over, or if it's a band I like for the overall sound instead of their profound lyrics. I can't, however, listen to rap. I think I'd find mewithoutYou's earlier stuff hard, as well (though 'It's All Crazy...' is great). |

06.26.12 | it seems to not matter for me, i always end up concentrating on the lyrics more. that makes sense though |

I just don't enjoy novels, I read articles and shit, just not novels |

If you believe that expecting people to read, even just a 1,000 word article on something that they are interested in, once in a while is of high standards then you are likely to be at least mildly retarded. |

06.26.12 | I read about movies and shit like everyday

06.26.12 | The only recs that would be reasonable would be music that could help you focus while reading or add to the experience. I recommend some Godspeed maybe Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada or Sigur Ros; preferably post-rock or any soft instrumental music. Modest Mouse's This Is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think or any similar folk or indie with deep instrumentation should be enjoyable as well because it allows you to focus even with the presence of vocals and lyrics. |

C'mon treb ol' boy, of course! and yea I meant read in general. |
Trebor17
06.26.12 | When people say reading I think of like novels cuz it's implied with most other things
Like "hey I went on sputnik today and"
"Did you read"
"well no fucking duh I read how else would I use the website"
"Read my lips, you are an overreacting faggot get out of my house"
"Ok bye" |

06.26.12 | I listen to Tim Hecker or Jeremy Soule's OST to Oblivion when I read. I can't read with music that contains lyrics. |

same. but i prefer instrumentals |

06.26.12 | @foxxxy: Just because it was interesting to listen to intense music like Pig Destroyer while reading. I'm sure I would have made a better point if i had been reading The Exorist, which I hear is Terrifying(oh the irony) especially if you go out into the dark woods and do it. |

06.26.12 | Treb, reading the messages posted on an online music forum doesn't count, sorry. |

06.26.12 | I never left, Basey. I was at my course yesterday, but even at my course I go on Sputnik because it isn't blocked on the computers there. |

I does if you're reading PaperbackWriter's posts, that guy has written several novel length posts on here |

why? I am pretty sure his eyes are intact and his mind is perfectly fine
"I does if you're reading PaperbackWriter's posts, that guy has written several novel length posts on here"
That is so true, but he is just really bad at getting to the point. |
Storm In A Teacup
06.26.12 | of course he reads lol wtf? |
guitarnater
06.26.12 | I'm pretty sure that the only physical ability he has left is blinking(if that), so I'd think he be focusing more on things that he needs like breathing, eating and drinking. |
MichaelSnoxall
06.26.12 | I bet he liked to keep himself entertained. Eating and drinking don't take up 24 hours of each day. He needs to do things. |
Eclecticist
06.26.12 | Reading isn't a physical ability, it is a mental one. |

06.26.12 | Why wouldn't he be able to read? He has a fucking computer strapped to him |

06.26.12 | He may be able to speak again soon too:

06.26.12 | Nevermind, he can't even blink. So unless his eyes are permanently open....
You people do realize his condition is getting worse right? |

You neglected to read the article I posted specify how there is new hope for his ability to communicate. Who cares that his physical being is corroding, Hawkings is immortal and his mind will always live on even if we have to attach his brain to the inside of a giant robot |
guitarnater
06.26.12 | I actually did read it, and no the title is deceiving, they are not going to make him speak, they are 'accessing' his brain like a hard drive.
And reading =/= communicating.(in the sense we are referring to) |
