Jeffrey Lamar got in touch recently to tell me about a new blog he's co-authoring called Mediocrity Is The New Genius, devoted to music, film, comics and 'fandom forever' and has some nice articles and reviews, often about things which I haven't stumbled across elsewhere (I like the look of this comic, Rust, for instance). MITNG have recently started a series where they ask artists for a playlist of the sort of music they listen to when they're working, and as a long term Mortal Engines fan (you can hear him reading some of it here) Jeffrey asked me for my playlist, so I fired up my my state-of-the-art sound system and started choosing some tracks...
I don't know much about music, and I don't usually listen to anything at all when I'm working (in fact I often wear earplugs), but I put together a list of music which has caught my ear over the years, and Jeffrey has kindly hunted up some YouTube clips to create this playlist. Some of the pieces are just there because I like them, others have influenced my writing in some sort of sideways manner, or at least capture an atmosphere I strive for. Anyway, click this link to have a listen...
