Manglehorn
2015 · Film · 97 min
Directed by David Gordon Green
AJ Manglehorn is an aging, ordinary guy in a small town. He nurses his sick cat, squeezes out a conversation with the local bank teller every Friday, and eats at the same place every day. But there is more to Manglehorn than meets the eye: he’s an ex-con who, 40 years ago, gave up the woman of his dreams for a big ‘job’. After a dramatic effort to start over, Manglehorn faces a terrifying moment and is unmasked as a guy with a very, very dark past.

Mostly music with no lyrics. That’s key.
I’m currently enjoying brain.fm set to 30 minutes and synced with a 30 minute pomodoro timer. I enjoyed the trial enough to purchase a lifetime membership (using a discount code) as I feel much more productive, especially when combined with some Bose noise-cancelling headphones. I’ve spent more money on less productive things so I figured “why the hell not?”. It may just pay for itself.
If not brain.fm, then I’d prefer to listen to movie soundtracks, such as Another Earth, I Origins, Manglehorn, or The Wilderness.
Some artists I’ve enjoyed while coding:
Piano: Ludovico Einaudi, Dirk Maassen, Johann Johannssen, Olafur Arnolds, Joep Beving
Electronic: Tricky, Moderat (particularly the instrumental album).
Heavy Rock: Earthless, Russian Circles
Post Rock: Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You
