gaminette asked Jonathan L. Howard:

Do you write to music? What sorts of songs are on your characters' playlists (Cabal, Horst, Leonie, Satan, et al.)? (I always get Morrissey songs stuck in my head while reading Goon Squad!)

Jonathan L. Howard Often, yes. I also tend to come up with Spotify playlists for my stuff. There's a JOHANNES CABAL THE NECROMANCER one and an incredibly long GOON SQUAD one. I was never very fond of The Smiths or of the Stone Roses, to be honest. Both because I wasn't that taken with their music, but also because Morrissey's idol-worship of Myra Hindley was at best distasteful, and the Stone Roses got word of mouth when they were starting out by spray painting their name on a bunch of stone surfaces in Manchester, several being historical buildings. That was a flat-out cynical and shitty way to seek publicity.
