quote: I took up the habit of listening to music while _falling_ asleep
I did the same too, then whenever I didn't have my CD player around I had trouble getting to sleep :S So only if its about 3am and I still can't sleep after laying in bed for a good 4 hours, then I'll pop in a soft CD and turn the volume down
It can be quite inspirational at times too, and sometimes it gets me hyped for some occasion, depending on the song
I've been looking into more artist lately, some that I find interesting is Modest Mouse, Static-X, Deftones (more often now), Slipknot, and some others that I don't really remember at the moment...

Wow, this turned out to be a pretty long thread. Music is not a distracion to me but an inspiration. Im not saying that I look to music fo advise. That could get you into quite a bit of trouble, but I find it brings out the creativity in me. Drawing just isnt the same in a quite room. I have no real preference for a music genre of specific group. I usually like individual songs. If i had to make of favorites though, id have to say:
Linkin Park Tool Darude Fugees Crystal Method Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody an instant classic!!!) Radiohead Ayla The Eagles
These are the names that come to mind when I think of good music. For listening I usually use my Iriver 180t Mp3 player but the On button seems to have broken. . I hope my advanced mechanical skills can help me to overcome this terrible tragedy and bring my little Mp3 wonder back to life. Wish me luck.
