Don't usually but when I do,  I listen to music of the  Violin

What a great question.

Personally when I start writing I am in a certain frame of mind.
So I play music that suits my mood.
My taste is eclectic.

Yes that fucking word when no-one wants to commit.

If I am feeling melancholy or observational its smashing pumpkins, type o negative, nine inch nails, VNV nation, the yeah yeah yeahs or AFI.

If i am happy its definatly blink 182. Those guys crack me up!

If i am feeling reflective or nostalgic its annie lennox, depeche mode, the police, erasure and the cure.

I am also a massive drum and bass fan. Genres that span from darkstep to liquid funk. Black sun empire, netsky, high contrast, conchord dawn, noisia, chase n status, delta heavy...the list goes on to be fair.

The most inspireing band that has heavilly influenced my words in recent times is crystal castles.

crystal castles are for very specific people. you either love them or you hate them.

i also love pj harvey, bjork and kate bush

and la roux and pink

i need to stop............................

For love we ride,
For life, we die
Take me as your bride, come on tonight
The night is sleeping, up awake,
I await your kisses,
On my lips of course

Silence if golden - I prefer my mind to be an empty slate waiting for the right words to flow

i think when i write it depends, on the mood i am in, so that also depends on what music i listen to. I like Classical, Metal, Pop, Jazz a pure mixture, so my mood runs the music, which inspires me to write.

Always, always, inspired by music, of all genres ( I have an eclectic taste)  Sometimes by what I posted above, sometimes the darker side of music, etc.

Ludovico Einaudi has been my creative crack for months now. "Walk" especially. It just reaches me.

He was great (died in plane crash)
He came from a little town about 10 miles away from me, then transplanted to California...he inspired many of today's Cue-stick tappers...started a craze
