Apparently I'm pretty good with these meme thingys. I must deliver wit on tap now, eh? Oh, the PRESSURE to be a wise ass! God, it's positively crushing me. I don't know how I'll ever survive!
Anyway...
Random Ten
Miles Davis, Sketches of Spain
Yo-Yo Ma, Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Concertos
Ten Thousand Maniacs, In My Tribe
Concrete Blonde, Live in Brazil (Would be better if I didn't have to listen to Johnette Napolitano whine about how much she hates President Bush, but still, very very decent and a must have for any Concrete Blonde fan.)
Jack Johnson, Brushfire Fairytales
Guns n' Roses, Appetite for Destruction (We don't need no stinkin' Use Your Illusion bullshit here at the Cake Eater Pad. Ever since Axl's balls dropped, their music has been shit. Although, I have a feeling the husband would disagree.)
U2, The Joshua Tree. Best. U2. Album. Ever. (And that's sayin' something.)
Billy Joel, The Stranger. (I've had this album on vinyl. I've owned it on tape. I've owned it on CD. And now it's digitized. And yes, I do know every word on Scene from an Italian Restaurant.)
Joan Osborne, Righteous Love.
David Gray, White Ladder. (I just really love this guy.)
1. What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
6.15 GB. And, yes, I meant to put Gigs there. (Only 441.2 MB, Sadie? C'mon and play with the big dogs.)
2. The last CD you bought is:
The last CD I bought? Or the last CD I, er, appropriated?
Well, we'lll throw both out there for the heck of it. I want the RIAA breathing down my neck so I can coutersue and, eventually, hang their collective ass on my trophy wall.
Anyhoo...
Bought: Jamiroquai, Synkronized
Appropriated: U2, How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
3. What is the song you last listened to before this message?
Erm. I almost hate to admit this, but the husband dowloaded a bunch of Monty Python bits and bobs, and well, it's Every Sperm is Sacred from The Meaning of Life.
We have the Lumberjack song, too. And the Philosopher's Drinking song, as well.
4. Five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
Dave Matthews Band, Say Goodbye. There was a time when I could identify with it. Now it just makes me wistful.
Bobby Darin, I'm Beginning To See The Light. Bobby was cool before Kevin Spacey made him cool.
Sarah McLachlan, Possession. Passion bottled.
Simon and Garfunkel, Kathy's Song. First, I'm fond of this song because no one ever writes songs for the Kathys of the world. Second, it really is a quietly beautiful piece of music.
U2, Where The Streets Have No Name. This song is pure rock and roll perfection. I could write a treatise about it.
5. Who are you gonna pass this stick to (five persons and why)?
Well, first and foremost, would be Robbo, because he's forever getting me into meme-trouble. And anyway, I'm sure he's just dying to be invited to participate. His case of the plague notwithstanding.
Next up is Fausta because I wanna see into her CD cabinet.
The blogchild will also have to participate. Because I'm her mommy and I said so.
Adrianne is up next. I want to see if there are any Bollywood soundtracks within her selections.
Finally, we have Margi. Because every opportunity we can give her to have the last word on any subject is well worth the time and effort it took to arrange it.
