I recalled a track I was listening to while reading an AAR, namely the paganism-themed experimental track Heilung - Alfadhirhaiti . So then I recalled the Old Germanic AAR I had been reading - [WTWSMS] A New Home- The Crimean Goths by @MandarinB . So that's how I got the idea for this thread.

If you have associated any music with a given AAR, or the other way around, here's a thread to post about it.

My mega-campaign was written almost entirely to Lamb of God. So their older albums usually bring me back to all that time spent on maps and stuff.

On the flip side I do most of my reading from work so I tend not to do much music listening there, I rarely associate music to my reading but almost always associate music with my writing.

I do not tend to listen to music as I write nor as I read. I dislike the distraction. However, I can say that I do listen to music often as I play. And outside of "ye olde" Fa-la-la-lan of olden days, the only other that always comes back to me is Bjork. I spent an unhealthy period of time playing a game as Russia in EU2 just after a Christmas one year, and my sister had given me four albums of her work. They pretty much went on continual rotation for about...oh, 400 years. ;)

Good times! :D

Seemed quite fitting at the time...and now. ;)

Oy!

I have very good friends that may enjoy this as a sound to play with. This is not one of them for me. Sorry. ;)

Not that you or anyone else wishes to look back on this at this late date, but this AAR (Santa Ana is Drunk, And So Am I: A Drinking AAR) suggests a few other bits of music I have used while playing (and even writing at that point.) Granted, it was a drinking AAR. :rolleyes:

This wasn't Nuada's original question however, so we have gone far afield. Still...an interesting subset of said question.

This brings back bad memories. Once i did a Dark Souls 2 drinking game, alone. Everytime i paried someone i would drink a full cup of whisky (white horse) in one shot. I got one, went from sober to a bit drunk, 5 minutes later i got another pary, i went from bit drunk to absolutely devastated. I left the console running, vomited my bed, my toilet, and passed out in the same bed. When i woke up someone had cleaned the toilet, i never discovered who. Absolutely horrendous.

Listen to this:
