[apocalypsos]

A question for the writers on my friends list ...

What songs do you listen to when you write? Are there certain songs that you listen to when you have to write love scenes, fight scenes, humorous scenes, etc.?

Like most of the people who posted already, I usually have a playlist. It often includes world music because that way I can listen to it but not get distracted by the lyrics. Lots of Qawwali, Turkish music, and a local band that consists of sitar and digaridoo instrumentals.

For the novel I'm currently writing,I've been listening to a lot of Godspeed You Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion for that funky apocalyptic feel. The fight scenes are all about Tom Waits and Johnny Cash.
