torainfor - We all have those CDs that we love, regardless of what others think. My collection even includes Air Supply, Barry Manilow, and (admitted theatre geek) showtunes. I remember a poster on my brother's wall that read, "Never be ashamed of what you are. By the way, what are you?" The Wedding Singer and 10 Things I Hate About You are GREAT movies!!  And veritas - I enjoy driving to the Pirates soundtrack. Although it tends to make me want to go faster than I should... ;D |

*snort* You sound like me. I take my Ipod out to the horse pasture with me, because I think better with noise. And I usually walk with more purpose. It's creepy. Off topic, and most probably won't have a clue what I'm talking about (well, Koolteskip will) but I want to do a Dressage test to "Up is Down"! OK, so Dressage-- to spare everyone who's not horsey the agony of a long explanation-- is practically ballet between horse and rider. Koolteskip, me and my sister were at a friends house when they watched Moulin Rouge and we spent half the movie looking at each other because of all the scandal.  |

Duchess: when I was a kid, my best friend had an Air Supply tape. We were obsessed with "I'm All Out of Love." We'd make her brothers and my sister go into their basement and air-play instruments while we sang it. One day, her sister and my brother had a big bottle of bubbles. They held the wand in front of a fan while we performed. We were known forever after as The Bubble Band.

It depends on what I'm writing.
I listen to Italian arias when I'm writing a love scene. I like quiet piano--George Shearing is my favorite--when I'm in a story flow. For contemplative material, I'll listen to English choir music (King's College Choir has lots of recordings I like), or Gregorian Chant.
Movie music is dramatic. Great for writing dramatic scenes. Who can fault the sea-battle theme in Ben-Hur? Stirring stuff. Band of Brothers has some wonderful themes. There is an epic quality to it, sort of like Homer's Illiad without words.
Vocalists are great, too. Frank Sinatra gets me moving when I have to clean up my office. Nat King Cole is lovely. Michael Buble is a modern singer in the same style.
I don't write to it,but I love old English and Irish folk songs. I like singing it to myself when I'm working and no one's around. I also love a good cowboy song--not just the oldies, but the new stuff, too. I do like Trace Adkins.
For space and futuristic scenes, I use classical experimental music. The Russians write that a lot, but it's hard to find. I also use oriental, mainly Chinese, classical instrumental music. Gets me in an alien mode.

It was a good movie, considering the what it was about. It would make a wonderful freestyle song. That or Jack's Song. LOL. Poor tortured horses...
