Music gets associated with memories for me, too, though songs that I only heard a lot of for a short period get the memories more firmly attached than ones I've heard consistently for decades, or course. There are specific people I always think of when I hear "She's a Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday", for example, and "Jackie Blue" brings up hard-to-describe, half-remembered feelings from a summer in the 1970s. (Hmm. Just did a search for lyrics and discovered that the Smashing Pumpkins covered it. Interesting.)
It make sense that rediscovering an old mix-tape would do this even more so -- a bunch of tunes all from the same period -- but the tape I was listening to when I posted that was a commercially produced album, though a very small-press filk distribution.
