I don't normally do this sort of thing, but it's either this, nothing, or lots of angst, so I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with it.
Although I have just realised that perpetuating a meme is the third nail in my carefully constructed *cough* coffin of blog cool.
Nail 1 being: picture of cat
Nail 2 being: admitting to knitting (ooh, it's almost poetic)
I'm sure I'll be back to normal soon. Maybe. Not really anything to worry about.
... unless I turn the blog pink. Then you can worry...
Anyway, the meme thing, so nicely passed to me by .jay.
Total volume of music files on my computer is:
Approximately 12gb, since the merging of the mp3 collections, but that lot definitely includes a bunch of duplicates, and not much of my actual CD collections, which, given my current lack of ipod, gives me no real motivation to change.
I used to have a load more but something weird happened and I lost them. Not sure how.
Hrm.
The last CD I bought was:
Yikes. It would seem that I haven't bought a CD in ages, cos the last one I remember buying was a copy of Let There Be Rockgrass by Hayseed Dixie from the Merch stand in the foyer of Islington Academy when I saw their gig last November.
The last non CD based music I bought, however, was Back to Bedlam by James Blunt which I bought from iTunes after hearing Jonathan Ross play one of his songs. Ironically, I tend to listen to Radio 4 more, when I'm listening to radio, and the only reason I heard the song at all, was that I was tuning my radio and stopped when I heard Wossy.
Anyway, I heard the opening few bars, thought his voice was amazing and then promptly burst into tears because the song really resonated with me and had some uncomfortably close parallels to my situation at the time.
Song playing right now:
Nothing but the music of my printer printing it's little heart out on behalf of my flatmate.
As an alternative, the CD's currently in various CD players are:
Study: Evanescence - Fallen
Kitchen: Christina Aguilera - Stripped
Bedroom: Damien Rice - 0
Living room: Zero 7 - Simple Things
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: (no, you don't have to guess which is which, or why)
Virgin State of Mind - K's Choice
You Shook Me All Night Long - Hayseed Dixie
Boulevard of Broken Songs - Party Ben (6mb mp3 but oh so worth it)
Glitter and Trauma - Biffy Clyro
New York Minute - The Eagles
Five people to whom I'm passing the baton:
Adrian (obviously)
Pete 'n Karen
Neil
The OnionBagBlogger
Gordon McLean
There. That's a few minutes of your life you'll never get back. Hope it was worth it :)
Heh, but you know you wanted to write this! ;) I'm actually enjoying reading these and getting a glimpse of peoples' musical interests and even discovering some new music as well. Interesting mix of music in there. Happy to see Biffy Clyro. :)
Does this mean I have to post the answers to the same questions on my blog now?
Oh, the artistic licence ...
TOOOOO spooky.
I just blogged about this!!
Heh. I thought it was a bit familiar.
I've got a brain like a ... fish thing, orange... whatchamacallit...
In fact, Karen and Pete had it ages ago, and did it then.
Yeah, ok. I suck and am totally behind the times, and also don't pay attention.
Bah.
You see why I don't do memes now? Causes all manner of strife.
I'm currently knitting (and typing - I am the master of multitasking) and listening to "You Shook me All Night Long" as AC/DC sings it. Thought it amusing you talked about both here.
Good ol' memes.
I do believe we have already contributed to this, but to update, I am currently listening to the rain on the skylight window, because we haven't installed any music on the iBook yet - the sound quality isn't particularly stunning.
Excuse me, what's with the pinkism all of a sudden? ;-)
