Music of doom
I have a few superstitious habits, only the usual stuff with ladders and magpies and guff like that, but I have one bad luck ritual that really pisses me off, I just can't shake it off.

I love music, all kinds but mostly various types of metal. I find now and again I'll hear a new tune, or pick up a CD by a band I've not heard before and LOVE it. Play it all the time, on my MP3 player, in the car, on the stereo. Then, usually within 48 hours of first hearing it, something crappy will happen (could be fairly minor, but always beyond my control). At this point I know that any time I hear that tune/band I will always have a bit of bad luck.

I know this is a load of tosh, but nonetheless I can't take the chance that today I listen to Joe Satriani and end up getting sideswiped while I'm driving to work, or tomorrow I listen to one specific Slayer album and then pick up my P45 (and these are the least I imagine, often something worse could be in the pipeline).

It annoys the bejesus out of me cos I love some of these tunes, and I know it's irrational but I CAN'T TAKE THE CHANCE IT MIGHT ALL BE TRUE.

On another note it's nice to see that just about everyone has some weird ritual, maybe that's what normality is. Thanks for listening

Hmm.
I have some kind of association ritual with music.

I travel a lot with work, and there are certain Albums that I always, and exclusively listen to in certain places. Some of them are really shitty albums too, which I normally wouldn't dream of listening to.

EG, Paris = Red Hot CP's, mothers milk. Sao Paulo = Level 42, pursuit of accidents. Moscow = radiohead, Pablo Honey. etc etc. Unless a track popped up un shuffle on my Ipod, I would never listen to any of these. I always play them when I travel though.
