Diving into the outline work now - here's the first ten songs on the playlist to get me into the spirit of things:
I Will Refuse - Pailhead
Nosferatu Man - Slint
St. Augustine - Califone
King Friday - Fiddlehead
King of Nails - Sparklehorse
Split Needles - The Shins
Mary of Silence - Mazzy Star
Telepathic Traffic - The Archers of Loaf
Black Celebration - Depeche Mode
Sinking - The Cure
Let's see - I'd categorize this as: teen angst, art rock, more art rock, old school emo, weirdo indie, straight up indie, 80's shoegazer, 90's indie, 80's alt rock and ending up with more 80's alt rock.
Music is a key element to the story I'm writing and there are few things I'm more passionate about. Getting the right music queued up as I start writing really helps set the tone for what's to come.
