I'm really surprised that people pin basically abstract music down to such an obvious sad/happy association.
I personally listen to Mahler's 4th Symphony when it snows, John Coltrane or dub reggae when it rains, hard techno when it is sunny, and deep house/nu-jazz/broken beat/jazzy old skool hiphop when cute females are visiting. Detroit techno fits in with about anything though, in my opinion. It's not THAT melancholy, it's actually rather uplifting in my opinion, just in a more realistic way, rather than a fake/cheesy/corporate-manufactured/there-are-no-problems-in-the-world way. -dave -----Original Message----- From: Mark S.

Ha ha aha haaa!;-) Too true, I'm the same way...of course the weather does have a bearing on things too. Bad mood = hard ass Techno...Joy Division...EBM...Industrial.... Good mood = housier, more upbeat stuff... Peace, m*
