Character Playlists

I once took a very great writing class in which we had a weekly assignment to listen to various songs, draw on a computer while listening to it, then writing a story or poem based on the art and the music. I don't remember if I had ever done that before, but I do know that ever since then (and we're talking maybe 95? 96?) I've been using a similar procedure when I really need inspiration. At some point, I started to assign favorite music styles and songs to each character. Suddenly, these characters had their own playlists and even scenes and places began to have their own music for when I'd write about them. It thought it might be fun to give a little insight to what actually goes into these characters and such by sharing my playlists with you. (And to be honest, it will also help me in case I have yet another horrible iTunes wipeout!)
