Potential future project: remembering how I/you first heard/saw/read something. Use that as jump-off point rather than what it "means" or could mean or how it, you know, feels or whatever. Potential strike rate of this method seems higher than the "means" and/or feels one, though that may just be pure naivete talking. Liner notes as model for crit--could be interesting. (Note: "I went to a room in a publicist's office with headphones and as many plays as I wanted" really shouldn't count here, though I suppose it's inevitable that it will. I mean in terms of writing-for-writing's-sake rather than I've-got-a-deadline here.)
