  • Quote
Do you tend to associate albums with where you were listening to it for the first time? I was listening to "Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth for the first time while my family was traveling to Palm Springs during summer so when I hear "Teenage Riot" I think of feeling hot, sweaty, and annoyed by my brothers.

Definitely. They say sound and smell are the two senses most strongly associated with memory, and I can certainly believe it. I don't really have many specific examples, but I get a really strong sense of nostalgia from listening to a lot of Queen songs (most notably "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy").

Yup.

Holy Diver and Master of Puppets - I always think of listening to them early on with my cousin and my uncle when we'd go to work with my uncle.

Light... Camera... Revolution! - I always think about my high school. Suicidal Tendencies are from Venice and I went to Venice High School so they are pretty popular there.

Hmm.. I'm not sure if any other albums I think of a place for. I'm usually just in my room with headphones listening to music.

Most albums reminds me of my room, where I'm staring into a wall or looking out of a window

I heard Daydream Nation first lying in my bed at night, didn't really get into it immediately but it fascinated me enough that I went back to it a month later and it immediately hit me in a new amazing way. I can recall how I first heard most music pretty accurately, actually.

Not specific places usually, but with certain experiences and with what was going on in my life at that time definitely.
