I have a whole zodiac-esque theory of songcycles, among them:

Hey Ya cycles: tension + optimism, stasis before change
Slim Shady cycles: generative conflict + overspending
Somebody That I Used To Know: high creativity, low productivity
Centerfold: defined by chaos, uncertainty, possibility

I had a lot of work to do today so instead I wrote up my Somewhat Unified Theory of Songcycling, the radio zodiac you probably didn't realize is ruling every part of your entire universe

"Electric Avenue" songcycles are hype as hell, i hope this one lasts a while

oh yeah no to be clear the songcycles are what they are; they are not individualized to a person, they are universal

The key to songcycles is you can't control them! You are at the mercy of whatever comes on the radio. Submit to the programming gods!!

Other songcycles include:

Promiscuous (Nelly Furtado/Timbaland): good time to look for a new job or hobby
Any song off of Pearl Jam's Ten: prime time for nesting, introspection, reconnection with home/partner/family
Electric Avenue: rule-breaking, paradigm shifts, spicy foods

What song releases "Tension" for you better than any other? 

Feel free to share your most satisfying musical tension release :)

What’s it like to hear all those Schubert songs in chronological order? The Hyperion box is like that, isn’t it? Do you notice how he matures over the years, or is there repetition and recuperation?
As I’ve only listened to songcycles or discs with singer’s selections, I’m quite curious.
