Normally anything that seems even vaguely “meme-like” or quizzy — such as the incredibly tired “what kind of fungus are you?”-esque questionnaires (holy crap, I’m a north-facing fuzzy purple lichen!) — earns a wide berth from this beatnik, but for music, I make an exception. Señor Hicks heaved the musical baton my way, and who am I to resist?
Total volume of music files on my computer (thus validating the title of this post in a big way):
51.67 gigabytes. 9305 individual tracks. 27.1 days of music. I have a serious problem.
The last CD I bought was:
Ryan Adams & the Cardinals’ Cold Roses. Not bad, but suffers from a bit of “let’s make a double album!” musical padding.
Song playing right now:
Jah Jah Bless the Dreadlocks by The Mighty Diamonds, off of the Trojan Roots Box Set, CD 1.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that means a lot to me:
Following the former (songs I listen to a lot), this is the five that seem to be getting a lot of iTunes time:
- Iron & Wine - Jezebel
- Calexico - Not Even Stevie Nicks
- Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me
- Femi Kuti - 97
- The Futureheads - Decent Days and Nights
Though I’ve been listening to Supergrass’ Supergrass is 10 quite a bit these days, too.
More statistical music nonsense is available on my Audioscrobbler page.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
Apologies for spreading the meme. I feel so venereal.
I love Iron & Wine. Great music choice.
