#KnowYourAuthors 1 Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, do you have a specific writing playlist? Did you make it yourself or was it curated for you?
Regularly? No. Occasionally, yes. When I need to block out the world; for example, if the spouse is driving the car on trips, I wear the noise-canceling headphones and open the computer.
I don't have a specific playlist for writing, just an "On the Go" playlist in which I've gathered all the songs that either improve the mood or make me think. They need to have color and depth, which means bass and complexity. Mostly they're trance and progressive, but I have songs that range from J-Pop to Prodigy. A driving rhythm is often good, but not required.
Sometimes I fixate on one or another song, putting it on repeat play for hours. We Appreciate Power, by Grimes is good for a cyberpunk vibe, Center of the Sun by Conjure One conjures a sense of broken people, and Intuition by Salem Ilese makes me think of a woman often harried by the world, but strong and perseverant enough to teach it a lesson in return. Since that describes an MC for which I've written a few novels, I listen to that one fairly often.
I can't remember where I heard it but a while ago I remember someone (some podcast or NPR show or something) saying they thought Paul Simon's Graceland was the perfect album to listen to when doing a school run. It's good and all but I've been missing those "make a mix cd for literally any occasion" days so made a Spotify playlist for when I go on school runs. Thought others might enjoy it too:
Besoin d'expulser un peu de cette rage latente, cette morosité ambiante. Besoin d'oublier, pour quelques minutes, notre impuissance face aux monstres qui se dressent devant nous.
I found an old login for Spotify, and it's like looking into a 2011 time capsule. Here's my playlist of favorites - this was when I was a full time coder, headphones on, staring at my terminal, lost to the world.
I like to share music sometimes. Here's a big varied playlist with quite a lot of new music and more obscure tracks. Most of these I've shared as individual track posts on the #Fedi using the tag #bearTracks.
A thread of different #playlist for a wide range of #music tastes.
This was a heartwarming story about emotional connections between young teenage girls. It reminded me of the kind of friendships and connections I dreamed about when I was 12-14. Very nostalgic, and beautifully written and illustrated. The graphics echo the feelings quite vividly. -Lily&
