If you remix your own stuff there's a good chance that all you'll get is more of the same. You have a pre-conceived idea of what it should sound like, which will be what it sounded like before. New ears or not.

Agreed.
I was going to use my writing example, and the answer is ... NOPE. Essentially, for me, that "moment" is long gone, and today I feel different, and "re-living" that moment is not the same thing, meaning that you will always find a different way of "saying it", or "playing it", or "writing it".
In 30 years, I have never been able to re-write a single poem, a single story or even a single film review of the 500 I got! I've fixed a little English here and there, and even that didn't feel as "right" as what was there before.
You've changed since then! However slight that change might be! I look at those "past" pieces, EXACTLY the same way I do looking at photographs of those days and the like! It is that time and place! Over and out!
Only Am and Cowbell don't change?
