With a nod of the head to Simon, here are some answers to some semi-random questions;
Total volume of musc files on my computer: 14.37 Gb. Does that make me a lightweight?
The last CD I bought was: Ben Folds, Songs For Silverman – and it’s a corker.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
- Francis Dunnery – What’s He Gonna Say
- The Style Council – Cafe Bleu
- Ben Folds Five – Smoke
- Marillion – Just For The Record* (or maybe Go, it depends how many cold drinks I’ve consumed)
- The Wonder Stuff – Give, Give, Give me More, More, More
* This song contains possibly the finest lyric ever written – "It’s too late, it’s too far, I’m in two minds, and both of them are out of it at the bar." Choice.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
- The 70’s Throwback – naturally.
- Ciaran P.S. Hennessy
- Christopher Buck
- I.M.O.T. – if only for the comedy value
- S.L.A.H.W.H.M – a.k.a Iain M. Todd esq.
As a few people on the list don’t actually have web sites of their own (how very 1980s of them) I’ll accept an entry in the comments giving their answers.
OK here goes: total music files 4GB (I know, but it is a new PC)
Last CD I bought: Storms Over Still Water, Mostly Autumn (progtastic)
Ten songs I listen to most, at the moment.(Sorry, five ain’t enough):
It Bites – Yellow Christian
Alan Parsons – Ignorance Is Bliss (Colin Blunstone on vocals…the man’s a genius)
Karnataka – After The Rain
Deacon Blue – Ragman
Marillion – The Great Escape
Eagles – Desperado
Focus – Focus IV
IQ – Harvest Of Souls
James Taylor – That’s Why I’m Here
Scissor Sisters – Take Your Mama
…and that concludes the votes from the Norwegian Jury
Couldn’t resist biting back – a measly 5.73 GB on the hard one.
Sorry to see old age continues to render you unable to embrace aural diversity.
5 most listened to/meaningful albums as follows (no sniggering now):
Manic Street Preachers – This is my truth tell me yours
The Doors – any will do but let’s go for Waiting for the Sun
Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory
Blur – The Great Escape
Eminem – The Eminem Show
Sorry couldn’t squeeze Britney, Christina and co onto the list.
