So, I've been memetically tagged on these music questions by L. B. Rockmeier and it would seem unnecessarily pissy to decline to play...
1. Total amount of music files on your computer? 2.53gb on the lappy. Some of those repeated on the iPod Mini. I used to have way more on the old lappy but I burned most of those to CD before I transferred files
2. The last CD you bought was... the Fluid Soundbox by Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited. I've been craving this for a while. I discovered these guys early on in my days at XDU. They're Swiss and they do kinda 60s space hi-fi swanky soundtracky stuff. XDU used to have this CD but it disappeared a while ago. But now I have my own copy. Happy me..
3. What was the last song you listened to before reading this message? "O Munno Se Move" by Enzo Avitabile and Bottari. The bonus live version from the CD Save the World -- I was listening to a recording of Mondo Mundo show from back in 11/04 whilst driving into work this morning.
4. Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you. (this is tough -- here's five I love, off the top of my head)
1) "Burning Down the Spark" by Nancy Sinatra
2) "Make Believe Mambo" by David Byrne
3) "the Box" by Orbital
4) "l'Homme des Marais" by les Negresses Vertes
5) "Song from the Edge of the World" by Siouxsie and the Banshees
5. What 3 people are you going to pass this baton to and why?
Sarah (well, duh...)
Minty (cos I'd like to read her answers)
B.W. Ventril (to give him something to be cranky about)
title this time, i should explain, was overheard at the next table tonight at dinner. spoken by female half of date, to male half, after the waiter brought the complementary rose that came with the meal. ouchity ouch!
1) 21.40GB, and getting bigger every day as vinyl turns digital.
2) The First Day, Albert Ammons & Meade Lux Lewis, because sometimes you just gotta boogie woogie.
3) The Great Gibber Plain, Midnight Oil
4) Smiling Monarchs, Abecedarians; Evil Honky Stomp, Danielle Dax; The Lewinsky March, Rabih Abou-Khalil; Sensoria, Cabaret Voltaire; Animal Song, Europeans. And in 10 minutes, it'll be five different ones.
5) April (of course), Leanne (she gives the best answers) and Colleen (because I'm just curious)
Hey Georg, I'll play. Look for my answers on my blog tomorrow. Thanks for the tag.
And that's a pretty cold thing to say to one's date, on Val Day or any other day! Ouch indeed.
i am a bit surprised that DB is in the list. nice!
Thanks for playing!
Bill and Minty: thanks for playin!
Xta: i'm surprised that you're surprised. altho, like Bill, if i had to pick those 5 songs again today, they'd probably all be different, it's also true that Rei Momo is one of my all-time fave albums
LBR: thanks for the tag. unlike Rick!, i had a lot of fun with this
to illustrate that, here's five for today::
"Nothing I'd Rather Do" by John Wesley Harding
"Bee Bom" by Sammy Davis, Jr.
"No Shuffle" by Front 242
"Transmetropolitan" by Pogues
"64, aka Go" by Lemon Jelly
