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!

nostalgic memory

My personal Time machine allows me to go backward in time for the purpose of enjoying the good experiences of my past lived life.

Not to be confused with critical memory the time machine that searches out the bad experiences in hopes of finding someone to hold responsible.
I remember when sex was safe and hang gliding was dangerous but that is a wonderful nostalgic memory.
