Studio Music is a blog that “provides an insight into the creative process of visual practitioners, through the music that they listen to whilst working.” (Text from their About page.) And today they’ve posted my current top ten countdown complete with little anecdotes per song. (The direct link is http://studiomusic.fm/_smith.html.) Because a lot of these tracks have a nice music video visual component I’ll post some video links for these tracks in the near future. —Stewart (PS.
