My Mp3 stopped working, so I dug out an old one I haven't used since having dragged the General though Morocco two years ago... Hah. The music on that one...
            How is that called? Audio memory? Lots of songs I know take me either to a place where I heard them first or where I listened to them the most or what I was thinking about when I listened to the,. Example - I cannot listen to metisse's Nomah's land http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnECPE_YwG4 because it was playing when I was making love to Gennonsuke for the first time and that stole this song for ever. Pink's Centerfold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnECPE_YwG4 on the other hand, even though it's part of the "Gorgonaut" soundtrack, I can listen to indefinitelly. There were also good upbeat tracks such as Alabama3's Too sick to Pray http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcWDZPxpZ-w , Springsteen's radio Nowhere (Always imagive taking a space ship full of soldiers through a wormhole in this one... My brain, eh?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gd6EhRRNJc , also from that OST David Gray's Sail Away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KMUP8oTJ54 , Hurt's Falls appart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQZcNzftyv4and Sixx:A.M's Life is beautiful, which is... Well. Also "Gorgonaut" state of mind... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDDxHIaaVk . It's got a lot to do with either the General or Cole. I love Wallflower's God says Nothing Back but cannot pull it away from Dexter.. Alas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeBXgUCUgac

The slightly gloomier Timbaland's Apologize, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePyRrb2-fzs , Shinedown's '45, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6UetUJ_o2U , Royksopp's What else is there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLpkXtM-VI8 and my divorce music, Damien Rice's 9 Crimes, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgqOSCgc8xc which I also cannot listen again, though it's a marvelous song...


But none of these can match the astouding song by Bobby Gaylor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNVCwdkEYH8 which always knocks me so far off my trail, I can only listen to it once a year or so. Because that song is just... beyond.
