i can only listen to pinkerton by weezer when i'm in a extremely happy mood.
it depresses the ****e out of me how that album could have been written by myself if i knew how to properly write a classic album.
when i'm a bad mood i'll listen to either math rock kind of music like don cab, shellac, oceansize. and reuben, the first three albums by biffy clyro.
when i'm in a good mood i stick on the blue album by weezer or clarity by jimmy eat world type of music, now i know the blue album ain't exactly an album filled with happy lyrical songs but it's real happy musical wise
i'm listening to don cab atm.0 -

Good Mood: Thrash Metal, Plain Old Metal, Hair/Glam Metal, Stoner, Hard Rock (AC/DC, Ted Nugent etc.), Rock (Foo Fighters, EODM, Weezer), Funk, also some House, Madchester, 80's Soft Rock/Pop, Latin, and stuff like Frank Zappa, Steve Vai & Weird Al.
Bad Mood (rarely): (Melodic) Death Metal, Typo-Negative, The Smiths, Joy Division (wait, no... That makes it worse), and stuff like Tool & A Perfect Circle.
Indifferent: Oddly enough... Philip Glass, David Axelrod, Alternative (not what they consider alternative nowadays), Grunge, Ambient, Jazz, Blues, Metalcore, Nu Metal (limited), New Wave (80's).0 -

It depends really. I’m never bursting with the joys of life (I’m working on changing that… cos I used to be a very cheerful person. The changing of that did coincide with my discovering Mozza
). I find day to day life becomes easier though when some album or song clicks with me and I become fixated with it for a long period (and of course it can be stuff I already have in my collection that I just haven’t listened to for a long time) Here’s an example: I had a brief flirtation with the Velvet Underground and also Lou Reed’s solo stuff at the end of January at a difficult time and they did help and then I moved on when the problem was resolved but just today I’m really getting back into both and already I’m feeling slightly more calm. It never eliminates but can just dull a bit the emotion or of course aggravate it. Oh here I’m off on a tangent… never mind!
Short answer – At this current point in time if I feel upset or similar emotion I’ll reach for VU and Lou. To me they are cheerful. I always think they’re both like a sunny summer day.0 -

It's funny, I listen to Clarity when I feel like a good wallow. Hmm.0 -
