Damien does a music meme

LemurGirl has passed me a music meme, so here I go!

Total volume of music files on my computer:

It goes all the way up to eleven! Uh, “1,966 songs, 6.7 days, 10.48 GB” according to iTunes.

The last CD I bought was:

The last physical CD was The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Quandary Phase audio book. On-line I purchased, The Chemical Brothers: Singles 93–03, via iTunes.

Song playing right now:

There’s nothing playing this second, but iTunes tells me The Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony — Original has been getting too much playtime lately.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

• Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Verve, fantastic merge of old and new, relaxing…
• All the Small Things, Blink-182, I’ve had two painful ski crashes in the last two years, both times this track has been playing…
• One Second, Paradise Lost, English band doesn’t get coverage but this song pushes the moment more for me than Loose Yourself can.
• Can’t Lose You, Type O Negative, slow rhythm, deep vocals of Peter Steel and the strange sitar-sounding lead, The musical equivalent of getting drunk.
• __Princess of Dawn_, Mantronix & Tip, an old Amiga demo track from Crystal Symphonies that I recently managed to convert to MP3. Hypnotic.

Five people to whom I’m passing the musical baton:

• GrinGod, because he is always playing his stuff at work (but is off on holiday now…)
• Kezzer, because he seems to like random stuff
• Steve Streeting, he’s not got enough on his plate already ;-)
• Toaster and Baity at ToasterFiles, because they need more noise on their blog

Phew, done! Right, off to The Rockmount in an hour with friends, you’re welcome to join us…
