/mu/, I just got the comfiest job ever.
On a Sunday I am the sole employee in a used bookstore, which is pretty quiet these days even on the weekend. I don't have much to do, and I'm supposed to play music throughout the store. It can be whatever I want provided it's bookstorish.
What would you recommend to play?
So far I can think of:
Nujabes
Thelonius Monk
Django Reinhardt
Fleet Foxes
Nick Drake
???

I've never listened to him, whats the best album that's also chill?
>>51133152
Anything comfy and piano or acoustic guitar based.
>>51133162
Bartok's String Quartets
Satie's Piano Works (by Reinbert de Leeuw)
Reich's Drumming
If I walked into a bookstore, I would like to hear these albums playing:
Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Pink Moon
Spirit of Eden
Future Days
Frigid Stars LP
Harvest
Red House Painters (Rollercoaster)
Transient Random Noise Bursts
Happy / Sad
And Then Nothing
Also lots of jazz records I don't want to make this post too long
Actually serious.

The Twilight Sad, maybe?

Gareth Liddiard
Blueneck
Hungry Ghosts
Anything by guys like Akira Kosemura or Takagi Masakatsu, that nice breezy folktronica stuff puts out a really light and chill vibe. Maybe some I am Robot and Proud.

People will walk in and each time they hear a little pop ir fuzzy noise they'll just and look around, and then cautiously go back to browsing until it happens again
