II: Question and Answer Section
Read question. Answer question.
What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
there appear to be just under 3,000 songs on my ibook.
The last CD you bought is:
good question. i think it was the new(ish) mates of state ep. i don't really buy a lot of cds these days.
What is the song you last listened to before beginning this meme?
we're listening to classical music playing on wnyc right now. however i couldn't name any of the songs/composers.
III: Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
- modern man's hustle - atmosphere
when my ipod isn't on shuffle, this is pretty much the only thing i've been listening to lately. holy crap, is this a good song! i've had this cd since it came out, and yet i only just recently realized how great this song is.
- season of the shark - yo la tengo
the lyrics are pretty. and the song is, too.
- knock yourself out - jon brion
from the i heart huckabee's soundtrack. before modern man's hustle came along, this is the song i listened to incessantly on repeat.
- chivalry - the mekons
c has been on a mekons kick lately, and so they've really grown on me. this song in particular is really good.
- please don't go - stevie wonder
oh, stevie. i would never leave you.
IV: Pass this stick to three persons and explain why.
um... okay. how about emeraldtiger, because i said so. and hungryghost, because, again, i said so. and thanksbitch, because... well, you get it. i have no idea if any of these ladies have mp3 players, but i'm sure if you play music on your computer that will work just fine. right?
