somehow in my head,
this became the themesong/title sequence for one of my stories. I see it in my head every time the song comes on shuffle....
it's not even a great song, honestly, but it puts me in the mood like nothing else. Right now it's playing in the background as I type this and I'm looking at my characters jamming out and grooving down the street like assholes while everyone else rolls their eyes, until the whole pirate crew is doing a whole, like, Slumdog dance routine to befuddled stares.
Usually though, for most writing, anything by
Balkan Beat Box is good for generic writing fuel.
oh and
the Decemberists will never steer you wrong.
