are there particular songs, or more preferably, whole albums which remind you of a particular season, for one reason or another?
here's my, er, top-4 which i can't help but link with a particular time of the year (and specific weather, obviously):
SPRING: Boards Of Canada 'MHTRTC'
invokes that "summer is just around the corner" sort of feeling, when everything is slowly awaking from a snow-induced slumber. sufficiently relaxing and life-affirming to ease one out of the wintery gloom of the previous season.
SUMMER: Travis 'The Invisible Band'
light, poppy, pleasant summery tunes, for when all you want to do is enjoy the warmth and the sunshine, kick back and forget all your woes for however long you can.
FALL: Arab Strap 'Elephan Shoe'
reflective, melancholy and miserably existential. for those chilly days when all the leaves have fallen off the trees and sheets of cold rain are pouring outside.
WINTER: Sigur Ros '( )'
breezy, glacial, depressing. gives off the sort of aura of stillness which one normally associates with an ice-bound, snow-covered landscapes.

no, not seasons....parts of my state of mind, my psyche...i listen to music to put me in a certain mood, and i listen to music depending on what mood i am in too...being a woman i get lots of moods all the time...IT'S A CURSE!

i don't think being a woman has anything to do with it. everyone's mood fluctuates constantly, be it the weather, lack of, or too much sleep, etc. it's moreso just a pressing need for diversity which everyone who has a relatively broad taste in music experiences from time to time. in all honesty, i couldn't ever enjoy just listening to one type of music on and on.

Womans moods fluctuate more than mens, especially when blobbing...

Winters around here are very rainy and cold, and I got Chiastic Slide on a very rainy day. It's imprinted on my mind as such

I get that...where an album or track evoke very very specific memories.

summer: Jamiroquai, Oasis, Fluke, Telefon Tel Aviv
autumn: Current 93, some Coil, some 7\ (drukQs...)
