I hate that. Another disadvantage I've recently realized is that it's too easy to forget albums that I've purchased recently but haven't listened to a lot.
On days like that, I just start playing Bee THousand because although I might not want to hear it, I never don't want to hear it. Same with Teenage Fanclub, John Doe and the Meat Puppets. Weird, right?
I've had... a number of these days lately, and on most of them I've resorted to my equivalents: Ida, the Blue Nile, some Tim Easton and Gemma Hayes. But I'm getting tired of them, or maybe just tired of myself retreating to them.
You know what's funny? I have that exact same problem, except with 1400 CDs. So this morning I almost at random pulled Echo & the Bunnymen's What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? off the shelf and listened to it on the way to work. At about song four I realized that this was the perfect musical selection for how I was feeling this morning (nostalgic). I guess my moon's in Venus or something. Eerie.
In college I noticed that, in the steepest of downward spirals, there always seemed to be one song that would somehow pull me out. So each bout with depression turned eventually into a desperate search for the right song. It would've been easier if it were the same song each time.
