Since it has been a long time since we've seen a meme around here, I am hereby picking up the baton passed to me by the lovely Moira. Please be sure to stop by Moira's site and see her beautiful contribution to today's Sugar High Friday. We should all be so lucky to get a valentine like that.
What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Well, it depends on which computer. I have about 300 songs on my laptop. On our home desktop, we have an entire hard drive dedicated to our music. Lest you think that we are raving pirates, all of our music files are ripped copies of CD's we have already bought. Nothing to see here! (nervous laughter)
The CD you last bought?
I just bought a used copy of Oh-OK: The Complete Recordings from a guy who sold it on half.com. The last cd I bought new was Welcome to the Monkeyhouse by the Dandy Warhols, the day after I saw Dig!, the documentary about the Dandies and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
What is the song you last listed to before reading this message?
"So. Central Rain" by R.E.M., from the Reckoning album.
Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
You mean I can't list 50? Oh, all right. How about 10?
The Magnetic Fields, "The Night You Can't Remember"
Too Much Joy, "Drum Machine"
Muddy Waters, "I Just Can't Be Satisfied"
Dwight Twilley, "Somebody to Love"
R.E.M., "Perfect Circle"
Violent Femmes, "Never Tell"
Raymond Scott Quintette, "Powerhouse"
The Clash, "Death or Glory"
The Jam, "Going Underground"
Seat Belts, "Tank!"
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
Moira will probably smack my hand for this, but I'm not going to pass the stick. I'm going to leave it here on the table and invite anyone who wants to to pick it up. Maybe if you think of it less as a stick and more as a freshly-baked pie...everybody likes freshly-baked pie. 
Oy. Like Bakerina, this one’s a bit tough. A good 1200-1500 albums on the hard drive. All copied from my own collection or my brother’s (who lived at my home awhile and who I always call first to make sure that he’s not playing his original at the same time I play my copy, of course).
Last bought: Diana Krall “Girl in the Other Room”
Last song: Cream “Sunshine of Your Love”
Important: Talking Heads “Road to Nowhere,” Johnny Cash “Ring of Fire,” Diana Krall “Frim Fram Sauce,” Janis Joplin “Mercedes Benz” and hell, everything on the Big Chill Soundtrack.
Darn it. Can’t we make it 50? There are too many that are left off a short list and no way to justify the ones chosen.
