Today's Muzak
It probably won't surprise you to know that I listen to music
while I'm writing. I keep iTunes playing in the background, and what I
hear is generally geared to the feel of what I'm working on.
Right now I'm working on GLASSHOUSE (today's elevator pitch: "the
Milgram obedience experiment meets the Zimbardo prison study in a
simulated Stepford/The Village hybrid aboard a starship captained by Number Two, as
narrated by Number Six, who is Confused") and here's my playlist.
Take the following albums:
- Clock DVA
- Bitstream, Contemporary '91, Sign, The Hacker, Transitional
Voices
- Cabaret Voltaire
- Voice of America
- The Future Sound of London
- Accelerator, Dead Cities, ISDN, Papua New Guinea
- Keith LeBlanc
- Invisible Spike
- Ladytron
- Light and Magic
- Orbital
- Orbital
- Propaganda
- A Secret Wish, (also: "Snobbery and Decay" by ACT, which I'd
classify as a Propaganda spin-off)
- VNV Nation
- 1998 Praise the Fallen, Empires, Futureperfect, Solitary
EP
- Laibach
- Kapital, WAT
Put them on random play -- it's about an 18 hour playlist.
(Having now convinced everyone who's familiar with these bands
that I'm crazy, I can now go back to work with a clear
conscience.)
