OOC - Fanfic Meme - Day 25

[watchmakersylar]

25 – Music – Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?

God yes I need music. I think it came from having headphones on all the time at my previous jobs. I did it to block out the noises of the people around me, and more than a few times I pretended I couldn’t hear them when they came to bother me about something. I worked with enough escapees from the Tar Pits that they honestly thought I couldn’t hear them.

My original characters each have their own playlists and bands as do my muses. Peter seems to like Shinedown and 3 Doors Down. Gabriel likes Stain’d and Creed. Sylar’s tastes are considerably darker.

Since I’ve actually put together Sylar’s playlist in the past, here it is for your listening pleasure:

Wooo! Since I don't listen to the radio or hang out persistently on YouTube, the only way I hear about new songs is by referral (or by hearing a clip somewhere and then seeking it out later). The choices you've tossed out in the past have really appealed to me, so please feel free to post more!

This playlist is woefully out of date too. I really need to add some more stuff to it. Glad you like my choices.

I miss when MTV = MUSIC.

Yes, muchly. I quit watching MTV and VH1 for much the same reason I quit listening to the radio - too many advertisements, too little music.

Though I've heard one of the music TV channels is trying to regain their audience by having ::gasp!:: actual music videos as a primary programming element again.

I'm playing the list now and ... yeah, that's Sylar (as you write him - wouldn't work at all for various other folk's characterizations of him but I really like your characterization of him, so that's all good).
