I recently read advice from an author to make a unique playlist for each character, and listen to it when writing abou the character. I figure it'd be a worthy cause to devote Music Mondays to Amanda, Annie, Nick, Sam, Tavi, Shane, and Vick.
For Amanda, I came up with 48 songs. But here are the quinessential Amanda tunes:
"Please Don't Leave Me," Pink
"Brilliant Disguise," Bruce Springsteen
"I Love Rock n' Roll," Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
"Counting the Days," Goldfinger
"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in my Hand," Primitive Radio Gods
"I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," Wilco
"Comedown," Bush
"Drinkin' my Baby Goodbye," The Charlie Daniels Band
"Straight Tequila Night," John Anderson
"Neon Moon," Brooks & Dunn
"Get it While You Can," Janis Joplin
"Far Behind," Candlebox
"What I've Done," Linkin Park
"Melody of You," Single File
"Slip Slidin' Away," Paul Simon
"Superstar," Sonic Youth
"Time After Time," Sparklemotion
"Tire Swing," Kimya Dawson
"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight," U2
"Settlin'," Sugarland
"Wake Up," Arcade Fire
"Wide Open Spaces," Dixie Chicks
