I almost get the feeling that Laurie wanted the playing to be perfect and thus didn't take chances, nor jam enough. It would have been fun to hear some out-takes or jamming.Portugalhttp://dpurposeofruning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-59509273068775066662011-11-13T10:28:06.721-05:002011-11-13T10:28:06.721-05:00For those if you who are checking back, Rochelle e...For those if you who are checking back, Rochelle emailed Saturday to tell me the exciting news that WHO DO, VOODOO? debuted at #5 on the Barnes & Noble Mass Market Mystery chart, and at #13 on the Bookscan Mass Market Mystery chart!

The last album I wore out was Damien Rice's "O". <br /><br />Sharon, LOVE "Ode To Joy"! I can hear it in my head right now. Great anthem to sit down to write the great American Novel! <br /><br />Molly, thank you! I think of capers as light mysteries with far-fetched plots, usually comedies with a mystery tied in. I think the new movie "Tower Heist" could be considered a caper. I've never heard Lincoln/Child audio books, I need to give audio a try. But my attention drifts......... :)Rochelle Staabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700362801884548978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-80870196334567930782011-11-12T11:35:04.337-05:002011-11-12T11:35:04.337-05:00Loved the post!

I also really enjoy humor in my books too. But, out of of the 13 genres you mentioned, I enjoy some amateur sleuth (assuming they are not baffoons), suspense (if this refers to James Rollins and Steve Berry, thumbs up), romantic suspense, and historicals. Not sure what "caper" is. Some of the meatier books I prefer listening to books on CD rather than reading them, like Lincoln/Child books.<br /><br />I'm also happy to talk about what I enjoy and not enjoy reading, so please feel free to drop me a line! lvsgund at gmail.comLilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-29161146331642359972011-11-12T11:26:54.194-05:002011-11-12T11:26:54.194-05:00My "song" is the last movement of Beetho...My "song" is the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the "Ode to Joy."

Having that tangible expression of a dream being realized is sheer genius and fabulous self-affirmation. Wahoo!<br /><br />With music, I'm something of a serial monogamist. I've obsessed over Alicia Keys' "Fallin'"before moving on to Sarah McLachlan signing "Silence" with Delerium to Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana on "Smooth." I'll listen to a song until I just about wear it out. Haven't had one of those obsessions in a while, though.<br /><br />Oh, and Dolly Parton makes me tear up every time I hear "I Will Always Love You."Jane Sevierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875683301649244643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-8728433854792267362011-11-11T23:33:57.378-05:002011-11-11T23:33:57.378-05:00Beautiful, Janie.

The theme song or suite makes me want to cry. Then you have Joy to the World by Three Dog Night, which makes me want to dance around in a really good mood.

I cannot listen to music when I write because music gets under my skin, and I'd wind up sitting, staring, and listening to the songs. I have a long list of songs that speak to me, many make me cry. Currently to perk up, I'll listen to Rumor Has It by Adele. Can't keep my feet from moving when that one is on!<br />I already have my copy of Who Do VooDoo on my Kindle!

We had an old saying in radio: "people like what they know." I love the way music connects us to a mood or a memory. When I'm falling in love, I listen to new music to connect it to the moment. When I'm flying solo, I listen to oldies. <br /><br />Sarah & Gjillian, I've heard so many writers say they listen to soundtracks as they write. I must try it! One of my all time favorites is the Rush soundtrack. I'm going upstairs to find it right now...<br /><br />Hi Lynn! Yeah, Nick has great taste. Very bluesy-sexy.

As for music there is so many favorties that I could write that I'm going to stick with songs that inspired me this week. Kokomo by the beach boys had me singing and swaying as I threw pottery in my studio. Then Bread came on with Baby I'm a Want You and I was choked up with memories of my first boyfriend. I was soon dancing with Bonnie Raitt's Something to Talk About. Can you tell I had the radio on my favortie oldies station? Creating Pottery is done best to 80's and 70's music. I love music and when writing a certain scene I will choose a playlist that refects the emotions I want to protray in that scene. Whether it's love or anger or hope, music is key.Tiffinie Helmerhttp://www.tiffiniehelmer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-64838855553184517732011-11-11T13:07:42.665-05:002011-11-11T13:07:42.665-05:00One sound that's bound to make me feel a littl...One sound that's bound to make me feel a little weepy is the theme for Titanic- the movie.
