Music.
Songs, records and people filed under audio.
WHAT SURVIVES REPLAY
This is memory organised as sound.
The useful distinction here is not genre, decade or critical importance. It is recurrence: songs that have followed me for years, songs tied to people, and songs that can still alter the temperature of a room within seconds.
That is why Otis Redding, Bowie, Interpol, Los Planetas, Radiohead and Aphex Twin can all belong on the same page. The organising principle is personal history, not musical taxonomy.
