Whoo hoo I forsee some Spotify research coming up.

Just been listening to Peter V Brett's "The Painted Man" not a bad story, pretty long over 24 hours all told. One thing about it though, probably more noticeable as an audiobook is that his Editor/Proofreader failed to notice the high usage in clusters of 'xxxx said' in conversation bouts.
There are shades of my English teachers stood behind me going "Tsk,Tsk that is lazy writing, find an alternative to prevent repetition", followed by a clip to the lughole.

CFWheeler, Thanks mate some really nice stuff in that list.
Gonna add October Project and Mary Fahl to the immediate download list.

Couple of mentions from me, David Arkenstone does a copy of The Mummers Dance as performed by Lorreena McKennitt (Personal favorite)
And of course Rodrigo Y Gabriella

Recently, I've been doing my famous "YouTube Walk-a-bouts". I start off with a song/ band I like and I just keep hitting the "recommended" side bar. So far I have (re)discovered:
The Dollyrots (Pop/punk with female lead- if you like Avril, you'll like the 'rots)
Panic! at the Disco
Woodkid
Steam Powered Giraffe (Although it's kind of kitschy, they have good vocal harmony and tone.. plus the back story is just fun and whimsical)
I also found out about Tarja making an appearance on the new Within Temptation album! 2x awesome symphonic rock singers!
And lastly, one of my messages on Facebook got replied to by Emily Lazar of September Mourning, and hopefully in 2014 we get to see the package deal of the band with their album/ comic!

I usually listen to 80s music. The wife tells me that my singing career died back then too, meh.. keeps the wife and cats outta the painting room.. :clap:

Shout out to Mike ( Dragonsreach ) for a very nice gift of music.
All loaded to my Itunes and taking it out now for a spin.
Looking for a fun way to repay the favor....

I usually have the tv on in the background. Though I may listen to imagine dragons whilst painting ebonwrath...

I compile a mixed list of songs from Nephew danish band and sing along while painting.

 

[Harpiste]

Thanks for the music I was actually looking for something new after having listened the same songs over and over for countless hours of painting .

Aspen you should check out 'Tangerine Dream' and maybe 'Air'

Mostly i listen to the wife watching 'Parenthood' which I refer to as the 'yelling show' or the baby gurgling now-a-days but...

Early Judas Priest
Jethro Tull
Maiden
King Diamond
AC/DC

Classic Punk rock:
Misfits
Dead Kennedy's
NoMeansNo - Listen nOW!
Ramones

Also there is always classic rock on the radio and Radio Mexicano, and Jazz (Awesome Sunday Latin Show) And Hip Hop


I also love classical

My Cable TV company has streaming music stations, so I usually put it on the 80's channel as the early 80's is when I learned my paint-craft and it takes me back to when my eyesight was far better for the task. (Have to use magnification for small detail work now).

 

[ischa]

usually that fella skelettets. believe it or not, he´s a really good singer.

when i paint on my own, i like classical musik or movie scores, nothing that needs too much attention.

 

[SkelettetS]

thanks ischa i do my best! the wife is starting to get crazy on me at home though but what to do?

i find Nick Cave is pretty neat to listen on when painting. otherwise its the usual industrial/ebm/goth thing.
