You know how when you are creating something it sometimes help to have music as an outside interference to make the creating process go smoother?
well what do you listen to?
i listen to:
khaki king
god is an astronaut
Luciano Pavarotti
alanis morset
snow patrolI love “God is an Astronaut”. I was just about to say, post-rock is my all time favorite music to listen to, especially during the creative process. Some of my favorite groups:
Sigur Rós
Hammock
Eluvium
Joy Wants Eternity
This Will Destroy You
Gifts From Enola
Caspian
Explosions in the Sky
The American Dollar
Russian CirclesAnd many, many more! <3

NICE!! 😀 8) i listen to most of those to!! i use pandora.com for constant music play so usually there is always something different and the music doesn’t become stale.
I usually listen to audiobooks. There’s a radio station that puts theirs online, and when I’ve heard all their new ones, I find something on librivox.com, which has a nearly unending supply.
Same here, I usually have it on last.fm so things don’t get too redundant! 😀

That’s a cool idea, I’ve listened to audiobooks while I’m at work but not while creating. Have you heard of audible.com? That’s another good online resource for audiobooks. 🙂

I listen to Pandora.com sometimes,
Sometimes I tune in to http://www.di.fm/ Digitally Imported, when I am in the mood for mindless hours of trance (I like the vocal trance station).
Other than that, my playlist includes:Opeth
Porcupine Tree
Yoko Kanno
Instrumental sound tracks, such as from The Lord of the Rings
Hybrid
Our Lady Peace (their older stuff)
Classic rock (Led Zepplin)
Balligomingo
Incubus

that sounds familier..I have music i swap in and out depending on weather and mood
A slew of japanese anime and game music, the newest to the list is Monoral after watching Ergo Proxy.
Miyavi, Larc En Ciel, Dir en Grey, Hi Hi Ami Yumi Puffy( i even have both versions of thier teen titans theme along with thier japanese stuff), Yoko Kanno is big win, Akino has some lovely stuff, The Thrill
and a host of OST’sTechno sounds from various peoples. D.J encore, Scooter, Rave Allstars, Possitively Dark.
I have a fondness for They Might be Giantsother stuffs… Tea Party, Googoo Dolls, Deathcab for Cutie, Nightwish, Plecebo, the Cranberries, Mallisa Ethinridge,Alanis Morset, Letters to Cleo, Moloko, Pink Floyed, Dave Mathews Band,Aqua, Hootie and the Blow Fish, Counting Crows, Duran Duran, Bon jovi, Police, Carlie Simon, Journy, Loggens and Massina….. What ever my sister listens too..
and a much longer list of names. heh. They get switched around and mixed in the jukebox.Hey, Kaki King is awesome! *high-fives* I also like Rodrigo y Gabriela. =) Have you heard of them? I just bought their newest CD (11:11) today!
*rubs chin* Other than that, it’s not often I like more than a few tracks on any CD…so my ipod is pretty random (and so is my taste). Newer favorite songs recently would be “Closer” by Kings of Leon, “Lose You” by Pete Yorn…and I also like that song “Meet Me Halfway” by the Black Eyed Peas. And those are the only songs by those artists I like. = Mystery.
Hmm, lots of 80s crap, classic rock, techno (The Crystal Method, mostly)…some j-pop, haha…OH, I do like most of Bond’s stuff, also. I have like three of their CDs!
I don’t really stick to just one genre for painting or whatever to. >.> I have a playlist on my ipod called “Still Obsessing”…which is just all the songs I currently enjoy hearing repeatedly. It’s usually set to that. 😀
I do that a lot. 😀

No, I hadn’t. Thanks, machineguts; I shall check them out.
Wow! Am I getting old or what–didn’t recognize hardly anything here that all you listen to1 😆 I did recognize Pink Floyd and Balligomingo and I think that’s about it. I’m more of the New Age spa/mediation music type. I sometimes get an idea on a name or a theme by just listening to this music. Of course, getting the idea and putting it to paint is a different story but I did commission an idea I got for a couple of dragons based on a CD I have of Jon Jenkins ‘Flow’. Some of the things I listen to–yeah, I know, I’m boring [sigh]
Harold Budd
Jon Jenkins
David Helpling
Patrick O’Hearn
Moody Blues
Vangelis
Yani
Robin Guthrie
Engima
Michael Shrieve
Steve Roach
Clannad
Enya
You get the idea….snoozeOh no the Moody Blues!! 😀 😀 Oh man I grew up thinking that Knights in White Satin was the best music ever. Well that and Fraggle Rock’s See the Beetle Sitting on the Stone.
I’m so surprised that someone else has heard of Bolligomingo! I love that CD so so so much. I wish there were more.
