I think that it's kind of funny how I can put a cd on and it will take me back to a very specific moment in life, i can remeber exactly my body position, and what I was doing, how the room smelled etc.......is it like this for you guys, and have you had a very distinct turning point ever in life? |

I find the same sort of thing happens with my sense of smell. Sometimes I catch a smell of something and it instantly reminds me of something/someplace in my past. I think the sense of smell is certainly the most evocative of the senses |

Its amazing how all these things that evolved to stop us poisoning ourselves manifest in such ways. |

I always thought I was alone on that one....different smells do the same thing for me, I will be mentally warped back to a certain person, or a room during a certain period of my life......weird stuff |

Think I heard that the sense of smell has the greatest impact on memory. Some times I can remember a smell perfectly, I know for sure I've smelled it before, but I can't begin to imagine when and where I encoutered it. I think these are probably deep memories from ages ago, childhood shit where all the aspects of the moment are too deep for me to recall except the smell itself. |

Darth: that's a very good point, I just wonder why it is smell that stimulates the mind into storing all these little facts about where you were, even how your body was positioned, finding its roots in such a primitave function, like you said to keep us from poisoning ourselves |

That is so true - the smells I usually recall take me back to moments in time when I was as young as maybe two or three. And I'm not lying or anything, because the place I am instantly reminded of, was a place we moved away from when I was three. Its a very powerful emotion! |

I smelt something in the air the other week, and no kidding - I had an instant flashback to a scene where I was about 2 sat in my pushchair/stroller in the towns shopping centre. I was so vivid and clear. Also whenever I smell the smell of tarmac (new road surfacing) I am reminded of the brand new house we had in Oxford when I was about 8 years old - I can remember that the house was that new, they hadn't surfaced the road! |

i actually dreamed a recent event last night, but in the background was really fast version of sounds from u ziq's brace yourself ep. i was being pushed down the main stair well at school, its crowded as fucksake. and my friends were being pushed slightly ahead of me. it was really sped up. and i was yelling their names to get their attention, but they couldn't hear me over all of the crowd. i sort of flowwed with the crowd out of the building, and met up with my two buds. it was crazily sped up and distorted though, like i was fast forwarding it on my computer. |

So for the second question, have any of you guys had a specific/unique moment in life that became a complete turning point? |

the day i put in "mail order is still fun" a ska/punk/indy/emo/core compilation on 'asian man records' instead of the '311' "soundsystem" cd that i had already been listening to for 8 weeks straight, i got in a a really 'stupid' car wreck that split my car into two pieces and sent my ass to jail for 100 days. |

When you mentioned the new road surfacing I smelled it in my mind and had an instant flashback to a scene with orange construction cones on some newly surfaced road... very vague but it was pre-kindergarten. Powerful stuff! |

LOLl, birth had a serious impact on me too! But a big turning point for me, not trying praise the drug experience, but it was a mushroom trip a while back. A friend of mine mumbled some words, I made some connections that altered my view of life and relationships in a positive way. Moments later my friend had no idea what he had said, which kinda blew me away. What what his reaction would be if I told him? |

It's best for me when I listen to something that I've seen them perform live before, because I always have a great time at concerts, so It makes me happy :) |
