I count myself an associative listener. If I know that I am going to go through
a trying time in my life, I refuse to listen to any cds that I own, for fear that I
might associate that time with that cd. I'd much rather listen to the radio in
those times. This might be because I tend to associate the songs on the radio
with the year at which I was introduced to those songs. Therefore, radio
songs don't hold as much individual emotion for me; and hence I can listen to
them with less memories being held. Of course, there are always those
songs that you associate with particular people for no reason at all. For
example, I associate Stronger by Kanye West with Emily Hall from my
Biology 110 Lab. Never listened to it with her; didn't even really talk to her
much, but every time I hear that song, I automatically think of her. However,
to get back to my point, if, for example, Miss Emily Hall decided to do
something dreadful to me and I were to foresee that this might happen, I
would definitely keep listening to the radio and not listen to Sigur Ros, White
Stripes, Raconteurs, or any other cds that I am fond of, particularly Eisley.
Sadly enough, previously I had failed to heed my own warnings and Eisley
now makes me sad to listen to. But I did save Sigur Ros in time. And in
conclusion, I will forevermore enjoy quite a bit of Jonsi.
