Frequently a CD of science fiction themes, as that's my genre, or Brian Eno's <I>Appollo</I> for atmosphere. If it's a heavy action scene I might extend to something like Fatboy Slim.<BR/><BR/>And in this way, my novel has developed a soundtrack...UKStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608166612209106788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1143691936294217552006-03-29T23:12:00.000-05:002006-03-29T23:12:00.000-05:00Funny you should mention music.

I downloaded some very hip skins and I'm groovin...and practicing the songs I have to do at church<BR/><BR/>Music wise, my solo is Light of the City by Alan Asbury...group ensemble is Arise My Love.<BR/><BR/>But my personal listening music runs from old timers like Percy Sledge and the Commodores to new stuff by Mary/Mary and Hillsongs.Bonnie S.

Country music (along with bluegrass, jazz, rap, and hip-hop) annoys me no end.<BR/><BR/>Amy, I don't always write to music. Sometimes it's too distracting.<BR/><BR/>Chris, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack is excellent, especially if you have some battle scenes to write. ;-) Number Two Son and I used to listen to it when we played Age of Empires, the best computer game ever.Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1143668304967920492006-03-29T16:38:00.000-05:002006-03-29T16:38:00.000-05:00So you like all kinds of music, Does this mean tha...So you like all kinds of music, Does this mean that you have come around to my side of thinking, and Like Country :) LOL<BR/><BR/>Take care friend :)<BR/><BR/>janicejelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468151130326112121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1143665918456970962006-03-29T15:58:00.000-05:002006-03-29T15:58:00.000-05:00I can't think with music on, not even when I was i...I can't think with music on, not even when I was in high school doing homework. My husband writes to movie soundtracks. I don't know how you guys can have so much swirling around in your head! It's too crowded in mine. Love your play list, though! Very eclectic.
