Music to Write By: Cowboy Bebop OST by Yoko Kanno

Cowboy Bepop may be the best Japanese anime television show ever made. While this claim could be debated, there is no argument short of a message from God complete with stone tablets that can convince me it doesn't have the best music.

Written and arranged by Yoko Kanno and performed in large part by The Seatbelts, this soundtrack provides the widest, most eclectic collection of music I ever seen attached to a single project. And it fits the show perfectly.

Here's the opening theme to get your day started right.

You can find the various soundtracks on iTunes and Amazon. The first OST and Blue contain most of my favorites, but really you just can't go wrong anywhere with this one.
