The Best Music For Writing Erotica

[slyc_willie]

I have a tendency to get distracted and sing if I listen to music. So I normally have the TV on something that I've either seen a million times (Law & Order's a huge one) or I put on a movie with the same purpose.

Yeah, I do the same thing in the mornings. Got Jake 2.0 on the sci-fi channel going on behind me right now.

That's what I do too, however, it's been Nikelodean lately, when I do write, that is. I haven't much time (or attention span enough) except to write poetry.

Latin music...

The rhythm is jusssst right.

Recommendations, please!
The latin music I have is all South American- Buena Vista Social Club, Os Mutantes (A Brazilian group from the sixties) Astrud Gilberto, Mariachi Vargas, Los Lobos...

 

[SesameStreet]

Celtic songs. I like the music and there is no singing to distract me.

 

[Trinique_Fire]

Certain songs that touch me as wistful, melancholy, haunting.

Music? You guys are all crazy.

I love the Buena Vista.

I have a wicked compilation CD my friend in Rio made me of Salsa music. Very cool when the weather is hot

You guys don't know what your missing. Make a playlist with...

Toto
Celine Dion
Kenny G
Michael Bolton
AC/DC
Justin (does he need a last name now?)
Wham!
Mike Jones

...shuffle play and watch the words magically appear on the page...if your head doesn't explode.

I pick what I'm listening to depending on what sort of passage I am writing. Something romantic and mellow calls for different background music than horny housewives on the prowl or evil predators lurking in the shadows. I can't even begin to imagine listening to Enya while writing something raunchy and nasty. Ok, really I can't imagine listening to Enya anytime, but you get my drift. (My apologies to Enya fans the world over.)

Duran, Duran, Tesla, Nirvana, Bush, INXS, I have soundtracks made to just get my imagination to flowing. Helps when I am writing or drawing.

 

[Otto26]

Absolute silence. The dialog drives my characters and I need the quiet so that I can listen to them fill it up.

 

[MelancholyBaby]

I am fond of instrumentals while I write. Typically I listen to piano sonatas by Beethoven. I do try to restrict it to the ones I do not know how to play as it moves my hands in other ways. Either that or silence, mostly.

"Milk" - Garbage
On repeat if necessary.

Oooh. I haven't listened to Garbage for AGES. Version 2.0 is *such* a wicked album. makes me feel all stroppy, rebellious and teenage again
