Excellent thread.
When I want to escape or allow my mind to think about something other than my AW, I listen to lots of Ambient music and Classical stuff.
When my AW pulls some BS on me and I managed to detach and keep my stuff inside, I feel like I lost a battle. Therefore, I love Viking Death Metal like Amon Amarth. They're always battling and conquering. It ain't "nice" music but it sure does restore some of my strength.
