A while back I came up with a list of "signature tracks" for prominent characters in the BoF - music to get me inside each character's skull, as it were.

Gabriel Pope - New Dawn Fades (Joy Division)

Meliad - I Saved the World Today (The Eurythmics)

Wilton Grey - We Made God (A Scanner Darkly)

Johnny Fantome - Suite Punta del Este (Astor Piazolla)

Salome Argyros - Hunter (30 Seconds To Mars - it's a cover of a Bjork song, but this version is screamier)

Machoire - Butterfly Caught (Massive Attack)

Inspector Cobb - Good Sheperd (Jefferson Airplane)

Abel Groesbeck - Armenia (Einstürzende Neubauten)

[Brave Blue Mice]

Salome Argyros - Hunter (30 Seconds To Mars - it's a cover of a Bjork song, but this version is screamier)

Wait.....  screamier?  Than Bjork?

That's like saying something is just like the universe, but bigger.  It just doesn't sound right...

I listen to a lot of bands when I'm writing, all rock/hard rock -- bands like Alter Bridge, Corrosion of Conformity, Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Lostprophets, Metallica, Puddle of Mudd, Rammstein, Staind, and even some W.A.S.P. Plus others.

I do find, though, that I can't listen to new songs when writing because invariably I end up listening to the song (because it's new to me) instead of getting lost in my writing. To me, the songs I know and love and listen to often are the background noise I need to block out the real world and live in my fictional one.

ayuh. most of my writing music is stuff i know backwards and forwards, for just that reason.

[Rob Pegler]

I either have to know the song backwards, or it has to be instrumental with no lyrics that my brain will try to home in on. That's one reason movie soundtracks are useful (other than mood-setting).
