No, no -- I don't want songs that MATCH my mood. I want to play happy songs when I'm sad so I will come out of that mood!

Nothing is more depressing than listening to depressing music when you are depressed. (like country songs when you're drunk)

Aww, now there goes all the fun. We do that all the time when I go back home. Although, I guess I should say that we sing country songs via Karaoke. We get pretty good at it too....after tossing back a few.

I think that it would be a novel idea (the link), only if it played the opposite when feeling down. Instead of depressing songs when you feel depressed, it could play...not emo music, but just not depressing music.

Yep, that's why I do it. I like to just plow headfirst through my depressions. It gets 'em over quicker.

Nothing like a good self-wallowing.

Ya think that's bad, GrahamR.L.Cowan posted an idea at a physics website on using gravitational interaction with asteroids to move the Earth away from an ever hotter Sun...
...several years before a couple of astrophysicists published a paper and NewScientist reported on it as a new idea.

It looks like it works somewhat like Launchcast and other internet radio stations: it "observes" you for a while to see what kinds of music you choose to listen to when you're depressed, excited, amorous, etc., and then it begins to play that kind of music when you're in that mood.

So if you like peppy music when you're depressed, it will play your particular brand of peppy music.

Did you read the item about the raidation detector below it?

THAT is really cool, and will save lives...and is so simple that people all over the world just hit their heads at once saying "DOH!".

I really like listening to sad music when I'm depressed. I like listening to terribly egotistical music when I'm in an, "I am the most awesome ever" mood.

Fun. [Smile]

For some reason, the right sad song tends to be comforting when I am in a good mood. As long as it's a laying in bed sad song and not a laying on the bathroom floor crying sort of song.
