So, basically I’m going to list some of my favourite songs. Songs that inspire me, make me laugh, make me dance, and mellow me out when I’m writing. Hope it helps anyone out there looking for a good tune or two (or ten…) to play over their speakers.

FIRST OFF ( and I can’t stress this enough ), on of (if not my most) favourite artists is ‘Emilie Autumn’. Her music is just… GODLY, there is no way to put it into words. An album I would reccomend for new listeners is ‘Opheliac’, buy it. Listen to it. LOVE it. I can’t even pick a favourite track but ‘Marry Me’, ‘306′, ‘Thank God I’m Pretty’, ‘Gothic Lolita’, and ‘Misery Loves Company*‘ are all up there.

*The songs maked with an asterisk and in red font are actually songs that I relate to Middle of the Summer! A soundtrack, if you will. If you’re a fan… you should totally make yourself a copy of the soundtrack. If you have any questions about WHY a song is on the soundtrack, or (better yet) suggestions about stuff to add just leave me an email or a comment.

There’s a little something for everyone there. I pride myself on being diverse.
