Playlist fun
Continuing my long and glorious tradition of seriously schizophrenic playlists, I felt moved to share the current one with you:
"In the Pines" -- The Stanley Brothers
"Down to the River" -- Alison Krause and some Baptist choir or another
"I Am Weary" -- The Cox Family
"O Death" -- Ralph Stanley
"Lonesome Valley" -- The Fairfield Four
"My Immortal" -- Evanescence
"Whisper" -- Evanescence
"Volcano" -- Damien Rice
"Weapon" -- Matthew Good Band
"Invisible" -- Switchblade Symphony
What do all these songs have in common, aside from the fact that I'm writing to them at the moment? I'm not sure. An intensity of feeling, a combination of moods that fits the story I'm writing. Or maybe there's just a perverse part of me that likes pairing up weird combinations of music.
Although I have to say, since I've gotten my hands on Fallen, I think I've written more to Evanescence than any other artist ever--with the possible exception of Loreena McKennitt and Dead Can Dance, both of which I listened to endlessly while writing for Tribe 8.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd do that playlist meme that everybody from Neil Gaiman on down has done.
