Day 267-- A writer's playlist

Some writers have cigarettes, some writers have tea, I have some beat up earbuds with the volume set high. 

And while I'm sure every writer has his or her own playlist, this is a sample mine.  Tonight's theme: writing cover letters for a copy writer job.  Witty, sarcastic, insight, playful, please hire me and I'll love you forever.

Cover letter (for being a copy writer) playlist:

#1.) [Setting the mood] "Where is My Mind" by The Pixies.  A nice dash of Fight Club bravo, word play, and cool.

#2.) [Edgy writing but with kindness]  "Crystalize" mash up with The XX and Gorillaz.  A funky weirdness with sweet longing.

#3.) [Confidence] "If It Hadn't Been for Love" by Adele.  Sexy, confident, simple.

#4.) [The happy groove]  "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" by Coldplay.  Fun, energetic, keep it going.

5.) [Needing a break. This is hard stuff] "Sunday Kind of Love" by Etta James.  Warm, lounge, swept away in your thoughts.

#6.) [Still procrastinating] "Ramble On" by Led Zepplin. 

#7.) [Because every playlist needs Missy Elliot] "Lose Control" by Missy Elliot. Fucking love this song for all occasions.

 

# 8.) [Ok, get your shit to together and finish this thing] "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park.  A kinetic kick in the ass.

#9.) [Getting the mood back] The "Sex and the City Movie Theme Song"

10.) [Almost done and feeling fine.  Plus I love The XX and mash-ups with The XX]. "Crystalize" by The XX mash up with Kayne West's "Touch The Sky".
