Soundtracks of life
By Andrey Butov
Every event worth remembering should have a soundtrack attached to it…life is just better that way.
For me, music is always in the background. Working, writing, reading, coding, everything has a soundtrack.
For example. Stephen King’s ‘The Langoliers‘ (the short story is brilliant, the TV movie is pure rubbish), will always have Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun as the soundtrack. This is something personal…something that was playing in the background on a loop while I was reading particularly interesting parts of the story. So now, if I re-read the story, the song comes back. Likewise, whenever I hear the song, I remember how much I enjoyed the story.
So…if any of you out there actually ‘get me’ on this, here’s the soundtrack for the past few months during development of the spam filter, and the upcoming game, Asteroid Jane.
Mark Lanegan — ‘Revolver Part 2‘, ‘One Hundred Days‘, ‘Come To Me‘, ‘One Way Street‘, ‘Strange Religion‘.
Zero-7 — The older stuff — ‘Somersault‘, ‘Warm Sound‘, ‘Distractions‘.
Rolling Stones — ‘Gimme Shelter‘ — playing on loop for a solid 5 hours one day — but The Departed still sucked…
Godsmack — ‘Serenity‘, ‘Voodoo‘, ‘Spiral‘.
Pearl Jam — ‘Smile‘
