I'm obsessed! Do you guys get that way too?

Sometimes I'm obsessed with an artist/band, sometimes with genres and then the most horrible obsession of listening to one song over and over again until I get bored. One curious thing I've noticed though: seasons affect my taste in music. If I listen to a band in winter, I usually stop listening to it in spring, but then when winter comes again they suddenly start to sound good again. And no, I don't mean like Christmas jingles

I suppose it's because the four seasons are so different from one another here where I live. It's kinda like clothes - you don't wear a bikini when there's a snowstorm raging about.

Oh, yeah, I definitely have seasonal music tastes, and like you I'm originally from a place with very distinct seasons. The funniest thing is that a lot of music I like the best is music I associate with the fall, and that also happens to be the season where I grew up is most known for.

Come to think of it, I like fall music the most too. Also I think I find more new music in fall.

"Music effects a steep rise in the levels of serotonin, which has positive influences on brain cells controlling mood, sexual desires and processes, memory power and learning, temperature regulatory mechanism of the body, sleep and memory functions."

Fall in Finland is usually long and gloomy and I have a bad habit of becoming depressed. Music helps, no doubt about it.

Yeah, anyway, ok, sorry, I got a bit carried away from the original topic of this thread

When I was in Saint Petersburg, it was full of drunk Finns.
