This Week's question is..
Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?
Yes I do listen to music when I am reading, especially when I am in a noisy environment. I use music as background noise so I can drown out everything else. This only works if it is music I am really familiar with, because if it's new to me then I focus on it. I usually listen to really slow music (like Skinny Love by Bon Iver, Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen, anything by Cat Power, some Coldplay, Damien Rice, etc.) or movie scores. I am a big fan of movie scores. I listen to the 500 Days of Summer Score by Mychael Danna and Rob Simons a lot, the TiMer score by Andrew Kaiser, The Friday Night Lights score by Explosions in the Sky and the Keith score by Tree Adams. I have a huge playlist on my ipod with scores, and there is also a lot of stuff by James Newton Howard (Pleasantville, Peter Pan & My Girl) and Danny Elfman (Edward Scissorhands & Big Fish).

Hopping by to say hello! :) I don't usually listen to music while I read, but I love movie scores. Hans Zimmer's Gladiator score is one of my favorites.
