Does the weather affect what music you listen to ? - SteveO - 23-07-2011
When it rains do you go for uptempo music to brighten your spirits or do you tend to listen to a sad piece of music ? If it's sunny do you feel the urge to listen to your favorite summer songs - Beach Boys, Hot Fun in the Summertime, Kid Rock Summer song, Summer in the City, Mungo Jerry's In the Summertime etc. or does it really matter ?
Whether it's winter, spring, summer or fall I will listen to whatever my mood dictates although if it's a bright sunny day I lean toward the lighter side of music.

The only conscious concession I make to what you're talking about is a tendency to listen to more Reggae during hot weather.
The combination just seems to work so well...

I have one performer that almost always gets played on very rainy days - sorry Gryphon I don't get very many of these in a year. I play Joni Mitchell when it is really raining, I find her music just works really well with downpours (not in a depressing way but in a positive feeling). Other than that I play music according to my moods or what I can reach, hahaha.

I'm definitely one to listen to more up tempo music on a summery day if I'm going somewhere and doing something summery. And I listen to slower more low key things during a storm.

Erm not really, I organise my music either by genre or how it makes me feel. Sometimes the weather afffects my mood which will then affect my choice of playlist. But in general no the UK's weather isn't intresting enough, "52% of our days are overcast, so as a nation we are infused with a wistful melancholy".....

If weather was the key driver behind a choice of music I would be playing a funeral march every day. Ireland has the worst weather in the world.
