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!

Memory Vibes

Similar to deja vu. A thing or experience that stirs up some vague feeling that it has happened involving you before, but is not concrete.

“Woah dude that song totally gave me serious memory vibes.”

memory swim

Making an effort to hop between fond, old memories in order to displace or squelch the vividness of one's current (likely depressing) situation. Must last for more than a minute to qualify as a swim.

Yeah, since he lost his job and his girl, he'll just leave the TV off and go on a memory swim.

mammary memory

A man's ability to remember any bare breast that he has ever seen, with a high level of detail, even many years after the last sighting of the remembered breast.

At the age of 52, Bill was thankful that his mammary memory allowed him to continue enjoying the sight of his college girlfriend's bare breasts, even though they had broken up before graduating from college.

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.
