What are you listening to?

[Knightfall]

The title says it all. What CDs, MP3s, DVDs, etc. are you listening to right now and what has been in your music rotation for, say, the last week or two. As an aside, what music do you prefer to be playing in the background when you play D&D?

For me, I've been rotating through the following soundtracks, as well as How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb by U2.

* The Last of the Mohicans (currently playing) - Music by Trevor Jones
* Conan The Barbarian - Music by Basil Poledouris
* Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Music by Patrick Doyle
* William Shakespere's Hamlet - Music by Patrick Doyle
* Gladiator - Music by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard
* Dragonheart - Music by Randy Edelman
* The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Music by Howard Shore
* The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Music by Howard Shore

Cheers!

Well I personally listen to movie soundtracks; I really like John Williams' work, and I made an Mp3 CD with all of the music of the Original Star Wars Trilogy on it and play that often. During game sessions however, I put in renaisance style and Lord of The Rings soundtracks.

While I work on the sci fi news page, and lurk...ah I mean, surf the rest of EnWorld. I listen to RadioIOambient *shameless plug *, while I go anywhere on the web mostly. When I am writing, I will listen mostly to soundtracks, and new age music.

heh...nothing like that. Hip hop and pop lately. Some Classic rock.


During game time- varies. Often heavy metal or orchastrated soundtracks.

In the last couple of weeks, I've listened to a lot of Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakum, Humble Pie, UFO, Rainbow, Triumph, The Donnas, The Ramones, and Solace (music my sister in law uses in her Middle Eastern dance troupe).

Currently: Bleed Like Me - new album by Garbage (two thumbs up, run out and grab your own copy).

Other than that, I've been listening to Everclear, Barenaked Ladies, Franz Ferdinand, Duncan Sheik, Tori Amos and... don't make fun of me... Mandy Moore's album Coverage (collection of covers including Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters and Moonshadow).

Musically, I'm just waiting for the new The White Stripes album... June 7th!

We listen to music while we game, but there's one rule: no words.

What CDs, MP3s, DVDs, etc. are you listening to right now.

No music right now. In fact I don't listen to music more than 1 hour per day on average.

What has been in your music rotation for, say, the last week or two.

Essentially music with a New-age/Amerindian style. A lot of Nicholas Gun, Coyote Oldman, other such artists, plus real traditional Amerindian music. This is the period. The week before I was more into ZZ-Top, Aerosmith, and Rolling Stones, but I generally tire quickly of such music (I guess I have become too old...).

As an aside, what music do you prefer to be playing in the background when you play D&D?

I rarely use any music when playing D&D, since it would have to fit the action, so put the right music for specific events in the game, and in any case, when we play we quickly forget that some music is playing. Nonetheless, among the various music I have that would fit a fantasy rpg ambiance, I favor the soundtrack of "The 13th Warrior" movie. I love that music (and the film too).

Currently I am listening to nothing but the birds chirping outside and an occational 55mph truck raging down RT313
