Thanks to everyone for all the music suggestions. Darla told me that she’s had quite a few suggestions and that they are a very, varied group of suggestions. Sometime this week she’ll forward them to Jon, and he’ll go through them, and discuss them with me. His taste in music has always been eclectic, and he’s more likely to know who everyone is talking about. When Jon and I were dating, turning on the CD player in his truck was always an interesting experience. I never knew if I was going to get the original Andrew Sisters, or black death metal. This actually happened, no exaggerating from one date to the next. I told him to give a girl a little warning next time and he did.
We did go music shopping over the weekend. Right now I’m listening to the sound track for THE PUNISHER. I’ve also picked up Seether’s Disclaimer II, Fuel’s Natural Selection, Type O Negative’s October Rust, and My Chemical Romance’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (I don’t know if I’ll actually write to Chemical Romance, but it’s a very fun album. The video for their song “I’m not Okay, I promise” is wonderful. And the song holds up without the visuals, which is not always the case.)
I wrote most of the early part of the Micah story to Revis’s Places for Breathing. Very good album. Gets better the more I listen to it. But I listened to it during the sex scene, and now I’m raising zombies. A very different mood. So different, that I had to put the Revis away until we get back to the interpersonal stuff. I may try the new Tori Amos The Beekeeper, which I wrote a lot of the story to, until I had to do the sex scene, then I needed to change again. The Beekeeper will stay with the play list for this story and the book itself, that I’m sure of, but it’s like I’m needed more specific music for different moods. What do you listen to for raising the dead? Try going into a music store and asking that of the clerk. No, don’t really do it, they get really weirded out.
