when i hear a certain song or sometimes see a specific
album lyin' around, it always reminds me of a place or
person or period of time. i'm sure we all have associations
like this.

for example...every time i hear or see the cure's album
wish i can't help but think of this particular trip
to ottawa with my parents a long long time ago. i don't know
why, but it does. it just seems to have that mood. and any
time i hear BoC's album twoism i immediately think of
my lonely winter semester at mount royal college (that album
depresses the hell out of me for some reason). anytime i
hear something from the rushmore soundtrack, i think of that
summer between grade 10 and 11 (the greatest three months of
my life to date). tori amos will always reminds me of
christina allred (except for leather. that reminds me
of teressa love. damn).

what kinds of things do you associate with certain music
that you listen to? anyone?

Yeahg man I assumed everyone had that!
Every track I've made, I can think of a place that was in my
subconcious (or semi concious?) mind's eye when I was
writing it.

Well, no I thionk there's the odd tue where there was no
image in my head when I made it....

But yeah you can kill albums by listening to them too much
when you're down, or in a bad time in your life....you go
back to them later and it all comes back to you.

BUT it works both ways, if you spend all summer long at a
matges place playing pool and drinking with the sun pouring
through the beachside windows happy as fuck with qa certain
album playing, then you'll love it forever.

I have this with Cypress Hills' Black Sunday coz it's like
our original stoned album, so much fun gettign high and
listening o that and chilling, eating pizza etc etc...

i have a hard time with d&b and trance (dancing
music...stuff. you know...) nowadays from all those long
nights at my friend's sister's house all weirded out on god
knows what. it wasn't a happy time, so yeah...i tend to
associate the music with that. kinda sucks, but oh well.

yeah you do associate music with points of time but also
moods and i find the music i play at the time generally
reflects what mood i am in.
