I usually listen to music while I write. Every once in a while I find any background noise distracting and need to work in silence, but 90% of the time, I'm listening to something.
There are times when I listen to a specific artist/band because they work well with a particular character--frex, Depeche Mode and Lucien work well together, as does Peter Murphy (solo work only) and John Shroud.

Other times, it's a mixed bag, with pop/electronica settling during shipping.

Stuff I listen to all the time behind the cut:

Too much stuff )

1) Do Haarin keep pets? If yes, do they take them aboard ships?
2) Haarin criminal investigative procedure--yes or no?

I have heard people complain that important cultural aspects/plot points in series sometimes turn up only as needed, with no build-up in previous books. Well, Tricky-Woo, if you could have foreseen the need to answer those two questions about the time of, say, LAW, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din, and you can finish writing this book.
