What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Updated: Thanks to Andy.
752 MB. ( Disclaimer for all you Computer Music People: I only began to download about four weeks ago).
The last CD you bought is:
O.K. I bought the soundtrack to Shall We Dance. This was before I was introduced to iTunes. I wish I had it before I purchased the entire thing; I only really like two songs on the whole album (Santa Maria-Gotan Project-great dance song & Perfidia- a very sensual song).
What is the song you last listened to before this message?
Chopin Waltz in C# Minor
Five songs that you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
Only five? This one was really limiting for me.
"Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine- reminds me of R and I really enjoy contemplating us together in this life.
Chopin- Ballade no. 2 in F op.38
"Life Means So Much" by Chris Rice- exhorts me to make the most of my time here.
"I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" by Colin Hay- read the words. Who hasn't felt this way about a lover, a friend, a family member? Besides, I have a long-standing love of acoustic guitar.
"Be Thou My Vision" an Irish hymn-my personal mantra.
Who are you gonna pass this stick to? (5 persons and why)
I choose seven people, because I always have to find some way to stretch the rules or to completely ignore them.
Nick- my brother, because music is a "closely held family value" and I always welcome knowing him better (Nick, you can either e-mail it to me or post in the comments; just cut and paste).
Flaca-She always introduces me to something new.
Greg-I think he very much enjoys music, although he doesn't frequently write about it.
Joan-She is such an interesting person; I am curious.
Pam-to know her better.
Jeremy- "We Want the Funk."
Cindy-I love how she analyzes and I want to see how the music she prefers "fits" her and why.
I am such a music nut...of course I'll do it. I wondered if this thread would ever get around to me! Cool...I'll have it up tomorrow.
Thanks, Rae. I needed the extra boost to post something worthwhile on my blog again. AND, it gives me the perfect opportunity to write about your blog, which I've been sadly lax in doing.
Posted by: Cindy at February 3, 2005 10:29 AMI actually enjoy Colin Hay's raspy voice, as well. He has a very expressive range that I like. I'm going to have to check out that "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You." Definitely intrigued.
Oh, and I have an EXCELLENT version of "Overkill" somewhere on this contraption. I think I'll post it. I think you'd enjoy it.
One final thought -- I think you are right. We MUST be some sort of mutant twin babies born together and miles apart. Because I also have Mozart jammed up against Parliament/Funkadelic. :)
xoxo

The last CD you bought is:
Best of Neil Diamond- i was a closet fan of neil diamond, but i guess

what's the story morning glory- oasis, i know this was popular in the
mid 90's but i wasn't into what was popular at the time
What is the song you last listened to before this message?
in the waiting line- zero 7
Five songs that you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
nick drake- "pink moon"
in the song he says "i saw it wriiten and i saw it say, pink moon is
on it's way" i never knew what pink moon was until i saw it written
and i saw it say in the paper and on tv in the same day that a pink
moon is a type of eclipse, plus i love the piano piece about half way
through, i always picture myself alone in central park in a middle of
a green field of grass, i think we'll play this as we walk out of the
chapel at the wedding
radiohead - ok computer- "karma police"
it reminds me of my friends wes and kyle
Neil Diamond- "sweet Caroline"
i don't know why but it reminds me of being a kid
radiohead- the bends- "black star"
this one has always made me think of being married to leslie and being
a dad and carring for my kids and family, and just growing up and
dealing with all the crap that can get in the way of "life".
propellerheads- decks and drums and rock and roll "on her majesty's
secret service"
if i listen to this while running errands or something i can always
convince myself that my evermove is a crucial element to the
completion of a secret agent mission
Jamie cullum- twentysomething- "twentysomething" this song starts off
like this "after years of expensive education, a car full of books and
anticipation, i'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot,
but world don't need scholars as much as i thought" this is a perfect
song to listen to as i finish a long six years of school "i could work
fo the poor though i'm hungry for fame, we seem so different but we're
all the same" i could go to the gym, so i don't get fat, arn'et thigns
more eay with a tight six pack?"
Who are you gonna pass this stick to? (5 persons and why)
sister cause she sent it to me
Leslie- because i could slide in my chair and ask her but she likes
getting emails from me
Jed- same reason
Drew- who knows what kind of music he will list
Margi- I love his voice. I liked it twenty years ago (gosh I feel old saying that) and I like even better now. Yes! White Funkers unite!
Peeked this morning, Joan. Terrific list :D Thanks for having some fun with me.
Cindy like your list, too. Thanks for participating and passing it onto our friends, too.
