Got tagged and didn't even know it
I found this post today, when it was originally posted to Library Web Chic on June 27. That's a while ago. I'm not much for memes, as most people know, but I figure since I found it, serendipity dictates that I *must* respond. Besides, Friday is fun day.
Total volume of music on my Toshiba:
A paltry 43MB. I'm slow to rip, and I don't own an iPod, nor do I have an iTunes account. I also listen to a lot of streaming audio. I do have hordes of MP3s burned to CD, though.
Last CD I bought:
The Beekeeper by Tori Amos and Wreck of a Day by Anna Nallick, preordered in December 2004.
Last song bought on iTunes:
N/A.
Song playing right now:
"Bliss" - Tori Amos, on To Venus and Back.
Five CDs I listen to a lot:
Evenings Pop and Curve - Project Nim. I first heard this group at Columbia University when I was living in NJ and my SO was attending school there. They were born of a friendship at a camp in Louisiana, but only stayed together as a group until about 5 years ago. Like their previous albums are wonderful, and this one is excellent.
Chant - The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. I think best when I'm listening to monks chanting, even though I'm not christian. I got through my senior year of college as an English major listening to monks.
Hello - Poe. So very good. "Trigger Happy Jack" got me hooked, but the rest of the album really is priceless.
All of my Garbage CDs. Yep. All of them. In rotation. I wish I could burn them all to one CD and just have them playing in my brain all the time.
Fever In, Fever Out - Luscious Jackson. Apparently, I've got a thing for bands that disband. Their final album as a group, Electric Honey, was good, and some of their earlier work was hit or miss, but FIFO was on the money. It's a great road trip CD.
Five songs that mean a lot to me:
"That Day" - Poe.
"Life in Mono" - Mono.
"Cool As I Am" - Dar Williams.
"Jaan" - Talvin Singh featuring Amar.
"The Perfect Drug" - Nine Inch Nails.
First concert I ever attended:
10,000 Maniacs when they played Middlebury College. I was a frosh at Wes, I think.
Favorite recent find [I added this one in myself]:
They're Everywhere! - Jim's Big Ego. My friend Colin gave me this CD, and it's recklessly awesome. The title track is particularly festive, and I can't impress enough the real art of Track 6's "Asshole". No, really, it's well written, the entire album is. The whole album is under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Sharealike license, which just makes it's wicked sweet.
Tag three people:
I don't know who else has already done this, and since it's old, I won't be tagging out. But feel free to pick this up if you want.
