Occasionally I get those evenings when I'm just in the mood to listen to music. Which is why I'm up so late posting on my website. The reason I wanted to remark about this evening was that it struck me listening to random tracks through my stupidly large collection that generally I remember what I was doing or where I was the first time I heard most music.

For example, I'm currently listening to Weary We've Been by Peatbog Faeries and I can tell you that it was a sunny late afternoon/early evening and I was playing the computer game Trackmania: Sunrise waiting for friends to come round to go to the pub.

Now Winamp has randomly Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry. For this I doubt my connection is when I first heard it, but for some reason I remember Tom's bouncy castle party on the evening of 22nd June 2001.

Does anyone else have this ability to recall particular situations and settings by listening to music?
