Seeing Arctic Monkeys live in a few hours! Wohoo! :DDD So excited about it. :3 Apparently the gig in Mexico City last night got rowdy, cause the tickets were oversold, but hopefully it'll be all right in here.

It's funny how we associate music with certain times of our lives, isn't it? How it sort of stucks to the moment in time where you first heard it, or how you associate it with a memory, or a thought, or a mood or a someone that was important. When I became obsessed with Humbug, I'd just come back from England, and it suited my mood perfectly. After all, the album is all about loss, and longing, and anticipation. I was pretty lovesick at the time, and a bit depressed, and pining after the boy terribly, so I just held onto the album a bit manically. I still miss the boy a lot, of course, but I'm used to it and it's manageable now, most of the time, but whenever I listen to the album I remember those days, and it gets me all sigh-y.

Ah well. The boy sent a text earlier hoping I wasn't going to fling my knickers at them, lol.

What kind of stuff you remember with music? Tell all, flist!

EVERYTHING. I play old industrial songs (x marks the pedwalk) or things like garbage and i always feel i am on the bus in nj coming home from school. i remember concerts A LOT. i can't get over the feelings, still, of seeing the faint or summerbirds in the cellar or crystal method or major lazer, and it comes back to me everytime i listen to 'em

The strongest associations I have with music are from road trips. There was one long stretch in the day, on the way to Southern California, where "American Pie" was the moment. That's the only way I could describe it. And in the night, I took off my glasses, all the lights were blurry, and "Killing Me Softly" was perfect.

Favourite Worst Nightmare I associate with a bunch of things going on in my life in 2007.

I can't even play "Time Has Come Again" off The Last Shadow Puppets' album that much because I associate it too strongly with a missed chance.
