    The playlist I had going today was filled with 16-bit Sega goodness!

    The vocal mash ups for this game's soundtrack are beyond amazing!

    I don't even know anymore


    Those two things don't really go well together.

    Donkeys > Ponies

    Just rewatched one of my favorite B movies Carnosaur 3 Primal Species. The movie has some interesting references to donkeys. First a comment about their intelligence and then as frame of reference for targets.

    How can one not love this movie?:

Music while reading fanfiction · 11:33am Feb 5th, 2012

It occurred to me this sleepless night of tracking and reading stories on FiMFiction that I was listening to black metal and death metal mostly throughout. Is it normal to have this in the background while reading about colorful ponies and friendship?

Tell me what you think, and what you're listening to while reading fanfiction.

Unrelenting War?!?!?

Perfectly natural!:pinkiecrazy:

Basically the same as friendship, right? :twilightsheepish:

That's perfectly normal:pinkiecrazy: well, compared to what my brony brother listens to while reading fanfics(I'm a pegasister:pinkiesmile:)

I don't know if it's normal or not. But this, this, and this are what I normally tend to listen to :pinkiesmile:

I don't like to listen to anything while reading. Did you listen to the song in my fic when you read it?

I listen to Unleashed, Cradle of Filth, goatwhore, Ensiferum, Kuias and etc when i'm writing fanfiction. But I can't actually listen to music while I read it, just distracts me. :rainbowderp:

totally natural. :pinkiecrazy: i dont often listen to music whilst i read, but when i write, i either listen to super ponybeats, or transatlantic's The Whirlwind (77 minute progressive rock supergroup masterpiece lol)

That's the case for many people.
For myself it just feels natural, as I am very much for multitasking.
About 4-5 years ago I remember doing math homework while watching Bible Black. :pinkiecrazy:

Either that or something similar, like this.

10565
Yeah I totally agree and yes, math-metal is the the best metal.
Right now I'm taking a break from writing but I noticed "One more magic potion" by Ensiferum has a play count of 1,500. My most played is "Rise of the Pentagram" by Cradle of Filth which has 2,023 plays. What is your most played song? if you know that is... :yay:

Thanks for linking us all to Lord Belial. Never heard oft his band before but they kickass.

I'll like you to another awesome band Manticora

10813
Not entirely sure, but if I make an approximate guess I've probably listened to Dead Eternity by In Flames the most overall. That song got me into metal so many years ago and more or less sparked the musical interest I have today.

Hmm...well. Considering that I listen to music all the time anymore, I can't say if it's normal or not...cause hell and the devil knows I'm the furthest thing from normal. :pinkiecrazy:

But my favorite things to listen to are this, this, this, and this while I write and read fanfics.

10822
Thank you kindly! Here, have some Swedish folk metal in return.

Mig, jag lyssnar på Apocalyptica. Just nu i alla fall.

Ah... förlåt för dubblan... >>

Då kanske lite Taste of Chaos Ensemble intresserar dig.

Well, this actually seems appropriate for this kind of reading.:pinkiehappy:

Ha that's awesome. I usually read or write in complete silence, but when somethings playing I'm always replaying over and over again.

Common enough.
I`ve had this on loop just as I was writing stuff yesterday.

I listen to melodic death when I write my stories.

Åhåhåhåh, en svensk!

Jo, det stämmer bra det.
Läste Spiked Flower för ett par minuter sedan och såg detta "Såike leaned back in his seat, they were comfortable." :pinkiegasp:

Fyfan, det måste jag fixa när jag kan. Lite jobbigt att göra på mobilen.

Wow, I bucking love you. I was having one hell of a time trying to write this one scene in my crossover fanfic. I listened to the song you first posted and started to write. What was once a flickering candlelight is now an epic inferno resulting from the Pony on Pony Agni Kai I just wrote. It shall go down in history as the bloodiest battle in Equestrian history! At least, that is until a nation of Earthbenders invades Equestria.

Turns out that djent goes excellent with ponies.

Good to hear. :pinkiesmile:

Got any favorite melodeath band in particular?

I lisen to classical/soundtrack music as I read sometimes, like when I'm reading an epic fic or whatever. (Plus I won't and don't listen to anything with lyrics in general)

I listen to this, because then I don't have to tab and hit that replay button so often. (hour intervals for tabbing to music are normal, right?)

Vratyas Vakyas has the best accent ever!

I used to listen to 'The Black Dahlia Murder', 'The Word Alive', and 'Killswitch Engage'. But atm I'm listening to bass. Yeah, I can't call it anything different. It's bass.

I do the same thing from time to time, but usually with something like this.

Current song: Dire Straits – Money For Nothing

Current fic: First Blush

Hmmm... pretty out of place :rainbowwild:

I Listen to ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Screamo, Pop, Rap, R&B, Rock, Country, (not really metal), Jazz . . . If it's out there, I listen to it.

Gotta find me some creepy foalcon to read while this is playing.

Ice

I preffer to put on disturbed or skyrim.

Got the latest Sigh album in the mail today, so there's gonna be some japanese psycho metal for a while.

Oh man you have great taste in music, listening to Sigh. Last night I felt exactly like this post, as I was listening to A Scream to Express the Hate of a Race by Mirrorthrone while writing my cheery comedy fic. (Followed by the latest Wolves in the Throne Room album.) Too much fun. I'm so listening to Sigh when I write the next chap.

42565 If you ever write something with Discord, Sigh would be the perfect music to listen to.

42584

Indeed it would! Oh man. That or this: http://youtu.be/YKlpEk7luns

Got Koloss by Meshuggah in the mail today. Meshuggah makes everything awesome.

I listen to Rock and Metal while reading fan fiction. It's normal for me!:pinkiehappy:

(EDIT)
Let's not forget pony music!

I listen to this South Park soundtrack with my readings. :moustache:

My favorite thing to listen to while reading fanfiction is the crappy "music" that I made :twilightblush:

Got two new albums in the mail:
Urd by Borknagar with amazing vocals.
Téras by Naglfar. Been waiting for more Naglfar stuff since 2007 and it does deliver.

Found myself another prog band to enjoy.
