I can’t write without music. No, really! Music really helps me sink into the world I’m writing about, and get into the right mood to depict scenes and characters. Here’s the music I listened to while writing Flicker. The playlist follows the order of the novel–see if you can figure out what songs correspond to what characters and scenes. 🙂

4. “I’ve Been Asleep For A Long, Long Time” – Hey Rosetta!
5. “Relax, Take It Easy” – Mika
6. “I Need Some Sleep” – Eels
7. “Keep the Car Running” – Arcade Fire
8. “Miniature Disasters” – KT Tunstall
9. “Ramalama (Bang Bang)” – Roisen Murphy
10. “Tranquilize” – The Killers
11. “Breathe” – Alexi Murdoch
12. “Feel” – Matchbox Twenty
13. “Broken Man” – Boys Like Girls
14. “Heal Over” – KT Tunstall
15. “Shadowplay” – The Killers

Abandoned Pools is probably the least appreciated band of the last fifteen years. It's tragic, really–but I'm glad to find someone who knows them, too! And, will do. 😀
