I now associate this feeling of attempting to #retrieve a name, word, or phrase from my #memory and _not quite_ being able to get it as #BrainStew.

It's like trying to ladle a specific stew ingredient out of a pot, thinking you've _almost_ got it and either getting a different ingredient that _just looked like_ your target or having your target repeatedly slop back out of the ladle.

While recounting my internal #Brain #DataAccess #CacheMisses and struggles with ever-worsening #Search EngineUselessness (see https://mastodon.social/@morgant/116273597862434562) to Emily, she described her never having been able to remember the name of #GreenDay's song #BrainStew. She remembers _everything_ , especially music & lyrics, so this is a fascinating outlier.

My hypothesis is: the lyrics not containing the song title, plus the age & method of the memory formation (CD players only showed track number.) 1/N

Episode two hundred and seventy-five is up now! Today's song is Warning by Incubus.

I discuss the song's message that is only increasingly relevant as the years go on, and how I now associate this song with two other completely unrelated songs due to a chain of excellent mash-up.
