I usually listen to different artists when I'm in different mood or state of minds. here's a guide to my music listening style:
when I'm sad I usually just listen to my liked songs since it has a variety of stuff
when I'm questioning the world (i.e. how the world is so cool/how things are where they are) I listen to Tally Hall, Miracle Musical, and David Holmes
when I want flashbacks to concerts I've been to in the past, I listen to Garbage and Metric
when I'm happy I listen to Oasis and Noel Gallagher
when I'm feeling silly I listen to Lemon Demon and Weird Al
when I'm feeling jazzy I listen to the UoM Facult Jazz Band, Michael Buble
I also sometimes just go through phases where I listen to random artists that I like (those listed above) for a week before listening to a different one
now, I'm curious - what do you listen to?
