Since it has been a long time since we've seen a meme around here, I am hereby picking up the baton passed to me by the lovely Moira. Please be sure to stop by Moira's site and see her beautiful contribution to today's Sugar High Friday. We should all be so lucky to get a valentine like that.
What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Well, it depends on which computer. I have about 300 songs on my laptop. On our home desktop, we have an entire hard drive dedicated to our music. Lest you think that we are raving pirates, all of our music files are ripped copies of CD's we have already bought. Nothing to see here! (nervous laughter)
The CD you last bought?
I just bought a used copy of Oh-OK: The Complete Recordings from a guy who sold it on half.com. The last cd I bought new was Welcome to the Monkeyhouse by the Dandy Warhols, the day after I saw Dig!, the documentary about the Dandies and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
What is the song you last listed to before reading this message?
"So. Central Rain" by R.E.M., from the Reckoning album.
Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.

Too Much Joy, "Drum Machine"

The Jam, "Going Underground"
Seat Belts, "Tank!"
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Moira will probably smack my hand for this, but I'm not going to pass the stick. I'm going to leave it here on the table and invite anyone who wants to to pick it up. Maybe if you think of it less as a stick and more as a freshly-baked pie...everybody likes freshly-baked pie.
