Does your mood reflect your media choice?

I love vinyl and everything associated with it but.....

I find I have to be in that attentive, reflective mindset to be ready for the "ritual" of playing and absorbing vinyl.

Handling of the vinyl carefully, placing on the platter, adding the clamp, spinning platter up by hand in my case, cleaning the vinyl with couple of brushes while spinning, adding Lyra spt to the stylus, carefully lining up the stylus with the lead in groove, carefully cuing down the stylus, then sit and take it all in.
Rinse and repeat in 20 minutes ad infinitum.

Yes it takes the right frame of mind to ENJOY all of that.

And then like tonight when I'm feeling lazy and a little distracted it is the time to stream music. Push a couple of icons on my phone and I'm done.

Are your media choices mood driven?

Or is it just me......

A valid point Elizabeth.

In my case my mood usually does not dictate the genre just the format.

And when I'm REALLY lazy I just hit shuffle and play on my saved streamed favourites.

I let Qobuz choose the genre for me in that case.

I really do not have any set routine for type of music related to time of day, I am as happy blaring out rock at 8am as I am at 8pm.

 Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset.
