Research has proved that music can help stroke victims, aid weight loss and give you a better night's sleep.

Sound interesting, go on...

Science journal 'Brain' has covered a study which found people who had a stroke were helped in regaining their memory by listening to music daily.

That makes sense...

In other studies scientists at Farleigh Dickinson University in the US found that giving a MP3 player to women helped them lose weight by making exercise more fun..

NO!!!

Meanwhile, Taiwan researchers claim that listening to jazz before you go to bed can help you sleep...

Oh jesus...

It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to play about with a few testubes on a state sponsored free lunch, make up some obvious crap and call yourself a friggin 'scientist'..

In fact, I'm gonna get on that boat...

Scientists employed by The PGC have deduced the following:

Too much Radiohead makes you suicidal and over serious..
Too little electronic dance music makes you lazy..
Too much reagge means you're smoking alot of pot

NOW WHERE'S MY GRANT???

EMusic.com recommends 'Tight Fit' by New Young Pony Club for when you are exercising and Miles Davis' 'Alone Together' for a good night's sleep.

I used to go to sleep to thrash metal at volume 10 every night for years and it never did me any harm...

AGGGHHHHHH FUCK!!!!!!


So, what are your favourite sleeping tunes???

Currently listening : Balls By Sparks Release date: By 22 August, 2000

	maryJane	when i was younger, i was into hard rock ((or "butt rock" as paloma would say)). and no matter how rough the crowd, or how close to the speakers...the music would always make me tired. a guitarist once mouthed to me while he was onstage "WAKE UP!!!" after he caught me yawning...

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I reckon saying Jazz sends you to sleep is the kind of scienec made up by some bunch of lazy cunt students... Mrs G says techno makes her sleepy - she's fallen alsleep in nightclubs on more than one occasion.. You say Butt Rock makes you sleep... I say Thrash used to make me sleep...

	La Paloma, the Queen of Infinity	it is hard for me to sleep to music. but.. mazzy star loretta lynn flaming lips-- soft bulletin davey has been known to sleep to thrash metal and other traditionally non-calming genres. i think music makes us smarter and happier, even radiohead...catharisis is important, get all the pain out of the body...

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I fell asleep inside Herbal once...

	they came from the stars, i saw them	was this article just written by some hack desperate to publicise the god awful dull knackers yard "pony" club (the quotes provided for the non-cockneys reading this - look it up!) - bet they've got a new single out! an a bored hack that needed an angle. Still, at least they're not as bad as The Gossip - a band whose hype is based enitrely on the ONE decent song they have and something that needs hoover surgery. i often wonder how long they can milk nothing...

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Portishead - Makes sense The Cure - I don't know this LP Coldplay - Definitely sleep inducing Radiohead - I rest my case As for Symphonic Led Zep - I can only imagine you mean a covers LP as done by a Symphony Orchestra??? Maybe The New York Symphony Orchestra played a bit of Rock N Roll for Kim Jong and the boys???

	simon	First off if we are talking emusic i was listening to the excellent emusic singles collection by Steve Wynn earlier The Devils Not That Kind got me going some. As for music to sleep to Jet my other half managed to fall asleep to Slayer at last years Download fest, but my choice would be E.A.R. and the Mesmerised cd it used to work a treat until one of my neighbors complained the super low sound was keeping her up even though she lives two floors away!! did she really have to wake me up to complain!!! Oh and for bogus benefits of music 8 out of 10 people who would still go and buy Michael Jackson records have been proven to be total idiots!

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	What is emusic?? As for the Jackson question - I feel it possible he has another great record in him... He might well be a scary and slowly melting paedo, but Off The Wall is a great record..

	simon	I was referring to your line emusic.com reccomends the new dumb ass club. As the album I refer to was of 12 singles released through that site one a month a few years back..... Posted by simon on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at 19:53 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Ahh yes.. That was The NME's line. I don't know anything about emusic myself, neither do I know anything about Steve Wynn.. What kind of thing does he do?? Posted by : THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI : on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at 20:21 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Treacle	Am I too late? My good friend fell asleep at a POLYSICS show once which was unbelievable. At present I'd go with Nouvelle Vague's Bande A Part album. Posted by Treacle on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 00:35 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	It's never too late.. I don't know POLYSICS And I don't know the second one either.. Posted by : THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI : on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 00:45 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Treacle	Polysics are outstanding [http://www.myspace.com/polysics] and one of my favourite live bands in the entire known universe. It's jumpy new wave, pop, punk grandiose. You have to see them live immediately. They tour quite a lot.. I know my housemate simply detests Nouvelle Vague, but he is just bitter and can shove his Prefab Sprout up his arse for all I care. They are a quite lovely Fronch covers band. Posted by Treacle on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 01:13 [Remove] [Reply to this]

: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :

I'll check up on Polysics.. Nouvelle Vague sounds like a brand of toilet roll or a an avant garde cultural movement - but if they're a French covers band they're fine by me... Prefab Sprout?? I know the name but don't know the music.. Shit, I've had to plead ignorant about 10 times today on bands and musical acts.. Maybe I'm in the wrong job...
