MUSIC FOR WRITING

Since I haven't done a music post for awhile, I thought I'd post a list of the songs I've got on my "Appogiatura of John Finch" playlist. "Appog" is gettin' so long I need something like this to keep the right mood.

It's one thing I love about itunes, being able to so easily mix-and-match what I want. Some of this is old stuff, but some of this is new, from this year.

Usually, I shuffle it all up, which works nicely, since the Ulysses' Gaze soundtrack has a lot of tracks and spread across the entire list provides a weird kind of continuity.

"You have a message," Gustat said. A chill spread up Finch’s back. The ways a gray cap could send a message were numerous and unnerving. They seemed to delight in more macabre methods of communication. Once a dead cat they’d reanimated briefly using fungal technology had delivered a message to Kanners in rhyming couplets; he’d not been the same for months. Another time, a mushroom had sidled onto Dapple’s desk and turned itself inside out, revealing the message.
