There are songs you hear that make you remember the first time you heard them, or a specific event like a wedding, but I think there&#8217;s an even more powerful level.  When I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.efsavage.com\/blog\/posts\/musical_addiction\/\">addicted<\/a> to a song, it can get tied to a place as well as date, and when I&#8217;ve moved on from that place, I basically put that song back in its box, and file it away.  It will come up in shuffle again someday, but it loses its primacy.  Here are some of mine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I Love a Rainy Night &#8211; Eddit Rabbit: Listening to the 45 in the playroom at my house when I was 5 or 6 years old.<\/li>\n<li>Now That We Found Love &#8211; Heavy D and the Boyz: Involuntarily being subjected to this song every day on the bus to school.  I think my blood pressure jumps 20 points just from hearing this.<\/li>\n<li>Dig Your Own Hole &#8211; Chemical Brothers: Playing Starcraft in the basement of our hell-hole apartment on Tremont Street, wondering if I&#8217;d ever be able to find a programming job with no experience<\/li>\n<li>Aenima &#8211; Tool: My friend\/roommate at that same apartment Andy had a fancy stereo and a huge CD changer, but I think he only had 1 disc, so he pretty much played this album 24\/7.  I still can&#8217;t bring myself to buy a Tool album despite otherwise liking the band<\/li>\n<li>Remixes &#8211; Ratatat: The second StyleFeeder office in it&#8217;s vacant, magenta glory.<\/li>\n<li>A Thousand Suns &#8211; Linkin Park: The fourth (and current) StyleFeeder office.  I seem to have no interest in listening to this album at home or in the car, but put it in a few times a week here<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea that music can bring you back to a time and place is not a novel idea.
