What does everyone tend to listen to when they're being creative? I like Morrissy when I'm writing.

When I'm weaving I like Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Loreena McKennitt (and anything else along those veins)
when I'm cooking, or writing I go with where my mood is...sometimes Deva Premal, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Franti, Billie Holiday..my musical tastes are all over the place :)

I like meditative type music

It really depends on my mood. However, when I was writing my first book, my soul song was Open Book by Nelli Fratada(sp?). That song really spoke to me and kept me going.

Right now, I've been listening to Fleet Foxes a lot. This band is new to me and I am enjoying their work. They're really awesome.

For a while, Crazy by Gnarles Barkley was a favorite of mine. At other times, anything from Sarah McLachlin, Tori Amos, Simon and Garfunkel, Lennon, Morrison, Seether, Pink, Ireland Eurovision Songs, etc. have played roles in keeping me focused on my work. I'm sure there are many, many more, but those are a few of my favorites. I've also been known to use the great composers of history, like Bach, to get me going. I also like Meditative or relaxing music. It really depends on my mood and what inspires me in any one moment.

Great post!

When I'm doing calligraphy it has to be music without words, or at least no words in a language I can speak. So, classical, new age, Gregorian chant, sometimes jazz.

When I'm sewing or painting I usually listen to audio books.
