[Moya] Music and memory
Jan. 10th, 2010 12:37 amAnd speaking of music, although I'm so far from a music geek it's embarrassing (can't carry a tune to save my life, can't reliably recall melodies, just generally dumber than average in that arena, despite many attempts over the years) -- I have a very gut reaction to music. I don't have the context to appreciate the pure musicality in the same way someone who really speaks the language does (so jazz rarely does it for me, for example). I often can't remember a song's tune until I'm listening to it, but I remember how it makes me feel, and the contextual life memories with which it's associated, very powerfully. (The memory thing is part of why I'm not an active music-seeker; I'm looking for the memory triggers more than the exploration of music itself) Under rare circumstances, often involving lots of weed and/or hallucinogens, I've come from just listening to the right music.
I don't tend toward smooth and sweet and romantic in my music anymore than I do in my sex. Mellow and jazzy -- also not a good plan. I do best with intensely visceral music -- thumping, pounding, heartbeats, moans, shrieking, roaring. I tend toward hard and fast, sometimes aggressive, sometimes joyful. Same as my sex.
I was playing around on Youtube at o-god-thirty this morning, and pulling music videos of stuff that all gets me hot for various reasons:

What song or songs really get you going or feed a lusty mood?
