Music (was Wow)

[duranduran88]

 What do you put onto the stereo (oi!  I'm showing my age.  CD 
player.) when 
> you sit down for a nice long afternoon or evening of reading?
> 
> How about writing or being creative in some other form?


When all I want to do is read, I put on Piano Two, James Taylor, 
Andrea Bocelli or the soundtrack to Les Miserables (original cast) or 
Into the Woods (cast with Bernadette Peters as the witch).  And 
recently I've added Josh Groban to that list. 

When I want to write or do something creative....I blast Nine Inch 
Nails, Aerosmith, The Cure, INXS or U2.  For some reason, I 
get "inspired" when I can bop around the room.  :-)  I can't explain 
that.  It seriously does get my creative juices flowing.  I've been 
that way since high school.  Drove my parents nuts.  My roomies 
always knew when I had a paper due when I'd stalk into the living 
room, go through all our CDs/records and take out any that I could 
dance around violently to.

guess the dinasaur in their old one finally died and therefore was 
nothing to turn the wheel to boot it up.)
(and who is remembering why she moved to Columbus (besides the fact 
that there was an outstanding job market at the time)...I'm 
surrounded my NASCAR fans here....HELP!)
