What I'm Listening to When I'm Not Listening to Christmas Music

I've blogged before about how I need music to write, and how this music is usually mellow and/or instrumental so I'm not distracted by other people's lyrics. The Enya and Yanni Pandora stations receive lots of listening love from me, and that's why.

But when I'm in a really good groove, the way I am now, I'm not as easily distracted and other music may be added to the mix. In addition to "White Christmas" and "Little Drummer Boy," here are a few songs currently in rotation:

Rabbit Heart - Florence + The Machine
All to All - Broken Social Scene
I and Love and You - The Avett Brothers
Bushwick Blues - Delta Spirit
Elevator Love Letter - Stars
Ready to Start - Arcade Fire
California Stars - Billy Bragg and Wilco
White Table - Delta Spirit
The Only Exception - Paramore
Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons
I Can See the Pines are Dancing - A.A. Bondy
Blinding - Florence + The Machine

Of these, the ones that get repeated the most are All to All, I and Love and You, California Stars, Little Lion Man, and I Can See the Pines are Dancing. They're are also good for driving at night with the windows down. :)

Do you need music to read or write? If so, do you stick with the same artists/songs, or do you switch it up?

Hope you had a great weekend!
