Music To My Ears
Posted on May 20, 2005 by Tito
1. The person (or persons) who passed the baton to you.
Jeff at Syntax of Things – no doubt drowning the sorrow of a Braves sweep in the sweet, sweet elixir of music and internetting.
2. Total volume of music files on your computer.
Hmmm… my files are scattered to and fro, but I would guesstimate a couple thousand tracks / ~500 CDs worth.
3. The title and artist of the last CD you bought.
Okkervil River – Black Sheep Boy. Maybe this weekend I’ll catch up on my to get list: Decemberists, Mountain Goats, Neva Dinova
4. Song playing at the moment of writing.
Bob Dylan – I Threw It All Away
5. Five songs you have been listening to of late (or all-time favorites, or particularly personally meaningful songs)
Ted Leo/Rx – The Ballad Of The Sin Eater
(or any TL song. He’s coming to Bimbo’s & Bumbershoot!)
Park Ave. – All Boy Band
(something about this band that wasn’t to be that sticks with me.)
Bright Eyes – We Are Nowhere And It’s Now
(How long can Jeff stand the BE before going postal?)
Neko Case – I Wish I Was The Moon
(possibly my favorite song ever)
Elton John – Mellow (It was either this or Crocodile Rock. OK, maybe not.)
6. The five people to whom you will ‘pass the musical baton’
- Dave (BMK helping hand who tuned me into Dios)
- Ed (NIN?)
- Rake (He had me at WG and the Maad Circle)
- Jodi (What is the Westerberg over/under?)
- Rico (the brother)
- BMK Bonus!! – whoever else wants to leave a note in the comments.
