Is this meme business getting out of hand? First there was the Caesar’s Bath Meme, and now Jeremy of The LCD has passed me the Musical Baton. Since it saves me from having to come up with a topic of my own, here we go…
Total volume of music files on my computer
6.21 MB. No, that’s not a typo. Don’t take this as any sort of commentary, but I don’t download music. It’s all on CDs. The only two songs I have on my computer are Leah Morgan’s “London” and “My Life is Like a Movie” (currently the featured download on her website).
The last CD I bought
It’s Time by Michael Bublé. I was slow to like this one, but it’s growing on me. Great cover of “Save the Last Dance for Me.”
Song playing right now
“The World is What You Make It” from Jen Cohen’s Far Enough Away.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or mean a lot to me
“Think too Much” (a and b) from Paul Simon’s Hearts and Bones.
“What a Good Boy” from Barenaked Ladies’ Gordon.
“Corner of the Sky” from Pippin.
“Surrendering” from Alanis Morissette’s Under Rug Swept
“Guido’s Song” from Nine
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton
Five’s a bit much, but I’ll send it on to Mike, Ben, and another Mike since I know they like writing about music.
Jacob Grier is a freelance writer, bartender, cocktail consultant, and magician in Portland, Oregon. He writes, eats, and drinks a lot. His articles have appeared in the print or online editions of The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, Reason, The Oregonian, and other publications.
Get an mp3 player for your vehicle and that’ll change. I have 45 gig of mp3s just in music that I already own on CD.
Nice blog BTW.
Thanks!
