Phonographic Memory

A person blessed with a Phonographic Memory has the ability to instantly recall and name the origin of sounds, chords, bass lines, drum fills, and guitar licks from the records he/she/they heard in their youth. Everybody recognizes the opening licks of "Satisfaction", but a person with Phonographic Memory "...can name that song in one note."

It is not the hearing of a train whistle and being reminded of the long summer evenings in Iowa. It is not recognizing a song being played faintly in the background of a Budweiser commercial. It is directly related to the graphic recording ( the LP or 45 rpm record, quite likely ) of those particular notes, and a instantaneous and pinpoint recognition of the song. Phonographic Memory (PM) is like muscle memory, as it is developed by repetition.
We gotta get Carlos on our team for this Trivia competition. The dude knows every song ever recorded! All he needs to hear is one note, and he can name it. He has Phonographic Memory!

Statual Memory

Memory that's only accessible whilst in a specific state. (example: your consciousness)
His mind was changed, due to the statual memory principal.

Example: If you're going to open a .txt file on your computer. You'll need a text editor in order to edit the text due to the state it's in. You couldn't use a photo viewer to open it, could you? No. That's because it's in a specific state designed for a specific program to use. Once it changes it's state to a photo file, then you can only use a photo viewer to open it, etc.
