Please excuse my pathetic attempt at humor... =3
I'm one of those people who finds it difficult to function without music. I'm almost constantly making use of Pandora and other sites like 8tracks.com and tothebestof.com, both of which you should definitely check out. I've discovered quite a few artists that I can listen to for hours on end, but I'm always greedy for more new music to listen to. I'll list some of my favorite bands/musicians and songs below, and I'm eager to read all about what you guys prefer to blast through your headphones! ^^
Other Songs ;;
For the most part, these are songs I've actually taken the time to buy, but with the hundreds of songs I go through on 8tracks.com, there must be many, many songs I've forgotten, and I'll likely add new ones as I discover them.
Now it's your turn! What do you all like to listen to? Do you change your music based on what you're doing or which character you're writing?

- Marianas Trench
- My best friend introduced me to them, and they're my new favorite band to jam out to while driving or doing chores
- "Desperate Measures"
- "No Place Like Home"
- Bastille
- Another of my favorites, I generally listen to Bastille when I want something I can sing along to. The first song I have linked below is one of my favorite songs of all time. Albatrosses have a lot of meaning to me. Feel free to ask about it if you're curious. =]
- "The Weight of Living, Part I"
- "Flaws"
- Daughter
- This is some of my go-to writing music, especially when I need something melancholy.
- "Youth"
- "Medicine"
- MS MR
- More great car music, but I'll listen to it for more upbeat writing music.
- "Hurricane"
- "Head Is Not My Home"
- CHVRCHES
- Their slower songs are perfect for late-night driving, they incorporate a lot of electronic elements, and I really enjoy singing along.
- "Gun"
- "The Mother We Share"
Other Songs ;;
- "Alleluia" by Eric Whitacre - I had to throw something classical in here, and Mr. Whitacre is my favorite composer. This song is worth every one of its nine minutes...
- "Ghost" by Halsey - I can't get enough of this song, and that might partially be because the bass sounds great when I turn it up in my car =p
- "Water Prayer Rasta Mix (Matt the Alien Remix)" by Adham Shaikh - I could dance around my house to this aaall day
- "Do I Wanna Know" by The Arctic Monkeys - I really enjoy the Arctic Monkeys in general, but my favorite artists list was getting long too quickly...
- "Set It Off" by Diplo - When I need to get excited for something (show choir, for example) I play this. Loudly.
- "Drumming Song" by Florence + the Machine - I will admit to dancing to this song often while trying to do chores. Not nearly as well as Florence, though
- "Gold Guns Girls" by Metric - I also own a full album by Metric, but this is probably my favorite.
- "She Moves in Her Own Way" by The Kooks - The Kooks just make me very happy. ^^
