Musical Baton

May 21, 2005

Jen passed the baton to me in hopes that I would contribute to the musical meme. So here goes:

Total Volume of Music Files on My Computer: 1,009.9 MB. I keep most of my music on the CDs they came with. It always seemed a little silly to transfer everything to my hard drive when I don't have an iPod. (I love you Daddy, even if you don't read my blog; and I know you'll remember my birthday in August, because there's no way I'll let you forget.)

Last CD I Bought: Split Lip Rayfield ~ "Should Have Seen it Coming," if you don't count the pile of CDs sitting on my dresser awaiting my poison pen reviewing style. I'm thinking of doing them all at once and calling it, "The Good, The Bad, and The Unlistenable." But don't hold your breath, I take forever.

Five Songs I Listen to a Lot These Days: I'm a big fan of good radio. I'll always prefer a well chosen variety to repetition, not matter how much I like a song. The songs I've really enjoyed hearing on the radio or in my CD player are:
1) Little Sister - Queens of the Stone Age - I've always liked this band, but when they echoed my feelings on moshing during a recent interview, I fell in LOVE! "Rock n' roll isn't about a bunch of drunk, fat, sweaty guys slamming into each other; it's about hearing a great song and grabbing a girl to dance with."
2) Hand That Feeds - NIN - Dark and gritty with a steady base that won't let you go. Just the way I like it.
3) Hundred Dollar Bill - Split Lip Rayfield - You dumped/rejected her, now you're sorry that you had. I like to think a lot of guys feel this way about me, but I know it's not true.
4) All For You - Ruth Brown - One of her lesser known songs that's filled with the happiness of how much she loves her man. Sometimes a good song that celebrates love is all you need to get through your next bad date.
5) Mushaboom - Feist - All about the aspirations for the life she wants to have once she starts making a little more money. For now, it is the theme song of my existence. "It may be years until the day, my dreams will match up with my pay."

Now I Pass the Baton to:
Well, I don't know any other bloggers all that well that Jen didn't already tag. So I guess I'll pass the baton to you.
