How do you choose your daily dose of music?


Sometimes I get music stuck in my head and just have to listen to it.  Other times during my daily meanderings I hear something (not necessarily music) that make me think of an album or song I want to hear.  Just a curious question.
Do you thumb through your library and choose or does one thing lead to another (this is typically my case)?
I certainly can find myself lost as in down the rabbit hole and it may last for hours. Do you find yourself going after music that is recommended here or other places, or by other people etc.

The songs that play in your head can sometimes be trying to tell you something.

And it's not always what you might want to hear.

At one time I would have songs or even just refrains/odd lyrics playing in my head virtually all day.

These days my attention is more focused and usually on other stuff - but I don't feel any the better for it. 

I've drifted more and more to playlists and compilations over time. There's barely a dozen regular albums I will listen to start to finish. 

I usually let my mood/energy levels choose what I want to hear because the reverse doesn't always work too well.

Although sometimes a bit of Motorhead can still get me going.
