sound addictions and the joys of a new moniker

I noticed this thing today which made me think a bit,

I assume you are familiar with the situation when you've got a melody or something like that without words that is playing on constant repeat in your head and it's stuck there wether you like it or not. Since emulating a synthetizer in your head is quite the feat you have to do the best with your voice to play it - bedubidu-didu didududu - and even though you can hear the original more or less clear you have to sing along a with it. The shorter the time since you heard it the more accurate you can recreate it, right?

What if you have a melody stuck in there that keeps you returning back to listen to the song to be able to hum that awesome synthline closer to the original? Wouldn't that be some sort of sound addiction? I wish I could create stuff like that and feed a fanbase of addicts.

I came back from a lengthy stay away from home today and as soon as I had said hello to dogs and family, got drunk with friends and slept in my own bed I hit up the ol' sound laboratory. To make things interesting I came up with a new moniker that I hope will both inspire and help me stick to a new sound. Oh the things we do to amuse ourselves...
