Musical Baton

Jonathan Hollin passed me The Musical Baton, and who among us isn't game for a meme.

Total Volume of Music On My Computer: Well, you see; you caught me at an inbetween time. For one, there is no one computer; rather, I have a set of computers (some more "working" than others). There was about 10GB on my main desktop with another two on my "primary" computer, my laptop. But, I really don't think that I am actually going to bother reclaiming the music from the desktop. I would rather go through a musical rebirth. I've been picking CDs out of my collection every now and again to rip onto my laptop when I need fresh "old" music for my iPod. Other than that, I take monthly outings to iTunes to obtain fresh "new" music.

The Last CD I Bought: Holy crap, I can't remember. An actual CD? Like, the shiny thing that comes in a plastic case that people would purchase before there was iTunes? I think it was Atreyu's Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. The last album I bought off of iTunes was Thice's The Artist in the Ambulance. The last song I purchased on iTunes was Ben Folds's new song, "Landed."

Song Playing Right Now: "Bathory Sainthood" by Boy Sets Fire. And, actually, I just changed it over to "Landed" because I just typed it, which made me think of it, which made me switch to it.

Five Songs I Listen to a Lot:

Well, according to iTunes "Most Played":

1. "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers (hey, I do listen to pop music, too).
2. "I'm the Best at Ruining My Life" by From Autumn to Ashes
3. "Juneau" by Funeral for a Friend
4. "Amsterdam Conversations" by From Autumn to Ashes
5. "Tear in Your Hand" by Tori Amos

Five People To Whom I'm Passing the Baton:

• Andy, fill me in on some bad emo.
• Steve, you live for this stuff.
• Prall, you want in on this? Wait, on second thought, you don't want to out yourself as a hardcore ABBA fan. Maybe you should take a pass.
• Bunk, I'm not sure you can play because I can see your iPod is here with me; not with you.
• Meesh, you're up, too.

All of you should feel sufficiently obliged to heed the call of an Internet meme.
