I listen to music on an almost exclusively mood-based basis. Though the selection doesn't always reflect my mood directly, the chain of albums that follows it will all share a certain feeling. Ie. If I start with Hissing Fauna, I'll probably also power through Skeletal Lamping, Scissor Sisters' Ta-Dah, Oracular Spectacular, so on and so forth until I gradually arrive at something quite different. Or, if I started with Wire, I'd follow it with a pattern like This Nation's Saving Grace, Marquee Moon, Sad Lovers & Giants, etc.

I can't listen to music on shuffle. I just don't enjoy it. It's too jarring an experience. I expect flow not only from an album, but from the spectrum of albums I play in a day.
