While making my version of a chai latte this morning, I noticed my blender was giving me a recommendation for today’s listening pleasure. It got me thinking about sights or sounds that illicit certain songs or albums in your memory, like a cuckoo clock sounding makes me think of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side…, Time particularly.
What daily interactions influence your listening?

Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
The things that influence my listening ? In no particular order...
Algorithms. Universal cosmic convergence. My neighbour's enthusiastic use of noisy engines. Boredom. The feeling of standing at the edge of a cliff, about to be swallowed by the abyss, just before I drink my morning coffee and suddenly feel like singing out of tune. Good karma. That special feeling of intriguing frustration felt after having read one of Scrotum Scissor's posts here and having failed to understand it. Bad karma. The vision of mountains coming out of the sky and standing there. Wine. People.
Random things. Youtube algorithms is one. The Skunk Baxter interview from Sean's YT channel is a recent one. I'm pretty sure I've read here on PE about a group called.....The Ultimate Spinach...What a name. I didn't know Skunk played with them so I went on a mini, Spinach binge. Good stuff. Psychy and proggy.
Now I'm influenced to listen to Rush.While making my version of a chai latte this morning, I noticed my blender was giving me a recommendation for today’s listening pleasure.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Hoffman Forum, IMWAN, Facebook posts, and this place. For instance, IMWAN had a new release on Esoteric Records of a Carmen box set (their 3 albums plus some bonus tracks I think I already have).
Built up gas, and it's tendency to escape...or not.
I was influenced to listen to Pink Floyd's "Pulse!"
A genuine association I have is that palm trees at night any "tropical" place like Miami always makes me want to listen to "Wish You Were Here" (the album). It's mostly because I once listened to it on headphone's sitting on my grandmother's balcony in Miami in the '80s (which was on Biscayne Bay), watching the palm trees against the darkening sky, and the blinking lights of passenger jets. I've since listened to it a couple more times when I was in similar places, and it just seems to fit to me.
At this moment I'm playing For Absent Friends - FAF out of HAL, because I thought of this group when adding something to the Whatever happened thread and this is the only album I have by them.
The Weather. Time of day.
Wife home or not.
Out to Sea at night listening to the new Yes album Drama I bought in Singapore. Machine Messiah playing and looking up at the Southern Cross for the first time. Now when I listen to CSN Southern Cross, I think of Machine Messiah......go figgure.......
The Ice Cream Lady Wet her drawers........To see you in the Passion Playyyy eeee - I. Anderson
"It's kind of like deciding not to date a beautiful blonde anymore because she farted." - Top Cat
I was expecting to be kinda meh, but it made my nips stiffen - Jerjo
(Zamran) "that fucking thing man . . . it sits there on my wall like a broken clock " - Helix
Social Media is the "Toilet" of the Internet - Lady Gaga
Nature sounds, bird songs, working outside today.
Growing up in a occultism environment. Subjected to people that practiced Black Magic yet believed in Jesus. A form of Manichean belief or concept. Although I never believed in any of it. Being married to my first wife ( RIP) who became involved with this cult and suffered ritual abuse ..was in and out of mental hospitals for years eventually taking her own life. All of the above has influenced my taste in music.
For the time being, I usually just listen to my collection from the beginning to the end the way I've set it up, but sometimes I listen to particular albums when there's some talk about them, being from my collection or not.
My older brother used to listen to LPs alphabetically.

He was not in touch with his vapors.
I consult my Magic 8 Ball.It always has the right answer.
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
I have experimented with using dowsing rods to select the next cd to play...
You probably play Tormato a lot.
Butterflies. Zebras. Unicorns. Candy. Clowns. Long walks on the beach.
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
Gilmour Girls, Dawson's Creek, House
Weed, Beer, Chicks - in that order
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Scrotum Scissors
This always surprises me when I hear someone say it's what they do, but I guess it makes sense. Now I have to ask: How do you have your collection set up?
