The music is the key...

So, for all you writers out there plugging away this month, what type of music do you listen to while writing your novel?

Are you the type that the music is specific to the genre you are writing in, or, do you just put your iPod / whathaveyou on random?


Give a shout out to what you are listening to!


So far, the music has been leaning towards (for me)...

"The 5th Element" soundtrack
"Blade Runner" soundtrack
"2001" soundtrack
And a mix of "VNV Nation", "Velvet Acid Christ", "Depeche Mode", and "NIN"


NaNo user = "Matrixleap" in Portland, Oregon.

So far there's been a lot of Kaiser Chiefs, a collection of mix CDs from a friend, and Pandora.com. I just made a 45-minute playlist in iTunes of my top 13 most-played songs, I'm gonna write to that in a minute. I also am feeling the need to write to Styx for some reason, I'll probably do that later today.

Usually, I just write to whatever I'm in the mood for. Last year was a lot of my "Fall" music (Athlete, Nickel Creek, Fair, Imogen Heap, The Notwist, the Pale, etc), and the year before was almost all Muse.
