Album for Specific Mood?
Is there an album you only really listen to when you’re in a very, very specific mood? Like, any other time feels like the wrong time if you’re not in that mood? Kind of like an anchor? For me, Radiohead’s The Bends is the album, and it surprises me because I’m a casual Radiohead fan, but that album was there for me and is still is. Anyone else with that kind of surprise affection?

@Demian Shoemaker that's a comfy blanket.

Listening Habits
Curious how people are actually listening right now. I play music for people in a room, in a box, sometimes in my own home. When you put on new music, are you Walking? Driving? Cooking? Lying on the floor?? At work with one earbud in. There’s no wrong answer. Just interested in the habits.

Like many who have already responded in this thread, music is on almost all of the time. If we are only looking at when i listen to new music its really two environments: while driving or in the studio downstairs. While driving, its just me in the car and I can turn it up a little, put a really favored track on loop, and explore the nuances as I travel about. Flag a track or two to go back and dig into later. Over the last several years, I have made a deliberate effort to actually sit with the music I purchase and that is done downstairs and on vinyl. I will let the needle play every track then flip it for the b-side. I'll read the liner notes, when available, and take in the entire creative product as i listen. Not sure if it's a form of nostalgia, revisiting habits from my teen years, or the simple pleasure that comes from being entirely present with only one thing. But it is nice.

First Show
I've considered doing a Morning Show about this but I only have 3 hours. It would take me 3 months. So mine was 16 years old, Jane's Addiction with Mary's Danish opening at Eastern Washington University. I remember walking in to "Coming Down the Mountain" and seeing bodies flying in the air, everyone wearing black, just absolute MAYHEM and all I wanted to do was more of this! I stayed out the pit that day and just stood there in awe to be seeing and hearing the music from a band I loved. I was HOOKED. I think they played 30 minutes because Perry was a mess but I didn't know any better and in fact was shocked when I saw a band play longer! Also first show in Seattle? Pixies. Moore Theater.

So great to see the references to Mary's Danish. They were a favorite band of mine when I was in high school. Sooooo good live: 7 piece band. Such a unique find, often forgotten/overlooked (i mean, they only had 3 albums, last one released 30 years ago.......gods.) First concert was Duran Duran (w/The Pursuit of Happiness opening) at the Universal Amphitheater in '89 (in SoCal.) So much fabulous in a medium sized arena. First Seattle show? Curve and the Dandy Warhols at Showbox in '98. Ironically, the Dandy's are the only band I've seen more than Mary's Danish. First Mexico show? Nine InchNails at Iguana's in Tijuana in 1991.... So many shows......

My first memory of listening to music is my dad walking me through all the nuances of Queen's 'News of the World.' I was 5 years old. Consequently....
