The music and your personal life?
Does anyone else find that sometimes songs pop up in your head in reference to your personal life?
I do. When I'm depressed, "I Crush Everything" pops up because it feels like I *do* screw everything up.
And lately this guy I was dating that I really liked broke up with me. He said I was too intense and I'll have to agree with him, I was going pretty psycho with him.
And now I find myself singing "The Future Soon", promising that I won't always be psycho, that the things that make me weak and strange will get engineered away.
Does this happen to anyone else? How does the music cross over into your life?

I find that songs can effect my mood.
Kerrin: "I find that songs can effect my mood." I think you mean "affect". They affect your mood, and what happens to your mood is the effect of being affected. Affect is the cause, and effect is the, well, effect.
Pedantry over with, music affects me better than SSRIs do. Seriously. There's a reason that I have playlists at work with moods on them, some of them being very subtle and nuanced moods.
Yes, but don't worry, it'll get engineered away.
I don't quite see how Robbie can "claim" that he is more "normal" than the rest of us and also say he relates most to a love-sick cyborg that created a race of robots that attacked the Earth....
At least I only seem to be the type of person to hold people against their will to try and get them to see I'm not too crazy...:P

Phew, thanks for that Bry... *Fails to find witty comeback involving song lyrics*
Jon, I don't claim to be more normal than anyone but you and Tom Cruise.
Besides, if this is freakishness, count me in...
We're all doomed! We can't win either way...
Take everything he says with just a pinch of salt.
I think, though, he wouldn't want millions of fans. He just wants a middle ground between being a total unknown and being world-famous.
Yes, I realise I made that sound like he's a total unknown at the moment. But I can't think of a better way to put it.
JoCo's a different kettle of fish, I think. He's way more literate, way less Hollywood edgy, and he sings a lot of things with multiple syllables and unusual subject matter. His potential fans are a more restricted group than the current group of Mass Taste listeners.
Imagine the word of mouth moving from person to person to person and then stuttering, as somebody reacts with "Mandelbrot Set? WTF? No Way!" The untapped fan group is sitting out there, but they're not necessarily making their music connections through channels that will let them hear about JoCo. That's why all of us need to do our Legion work.
I have a group of friends that I use to see, and I hadn't got around to mentioning JoCo, and one night I walk in to the room and hear code monkey being played on the computer.
Another friend, first time I mention JoCo, 'oh yeah, he wrote that song about Mandlebrot'
May be it's a Cambridge thing? We're all very geeky here.
Both of these people found out about him through someone saying 'look at this, it's cool'
The space lab I was only planning on using if we successfully make Skynet and the Terminator series. Before then, I would rather have an Evil Lair like Tesla did, but near a hospital so I can make cybernetics for people.
Due to illnesses I have had in the past my body is very weak and I was planning on replacing it with Cybernetic parts. As for the strange part...I was planning on more augmenting my brain instead of replacing it.
And if I could, I would rather make something akin to Teleforce rather than a laser. It has a longer range and is more destructive.
