A brief note on how I use these playlists is due, O Ye Kind Reader. Rather than allow these to be static, I tend to put them on shuffle when I sit down to write. I also skip a ton when a particular track doesn’t match the tone of the scene or character. I also like to sprinkle in songs with lyrics so I know to take a break, particularly if the lyrics are in English. This is much easier to do with the playlist for This Red Business. I’ve started picking up Old Norse and a little more Irish just by listening to the Fimbulwinter playlist so much.
Simples.
