Before I discovered We're Alive, I often listened to audiobooks while I was working. My job affords me the luxury of not having to deal with anyone but the computer screens in front of me. I don't have to talk to my coworkers or the public. I have a random playlist of music from various genres ..punk, old school /freestyle, mathrock ( my recent favorite is Foals), moody broody 80s new wave and angry late 90s stuff like Puya and Sevendust. Throw in a little Sarah McLachlan, and I guess that's what I listen to. It really depends. When I'm writing, I typically will listen to a cd on loop. The last thing I wrote to was Bertine Zetliz's My Italian Greyhound. I was writing about loss and longing and it just seemed to amplify my mood.
Radiohead is one of my favorite bands. I was in my 20s when that they first hit the music scene and again, that desperate yet hopeful music resonated with me. Overrated, underrated...you can't deny how beautiful their songs are.
