Music meme

Via Anna:
  1. Total volume of music files on my computer?
    About 13Gb on my iBook, about 4 on my home PC
  2. The last CD I bought was...
    Travelling Without Moving by Jamiroquai, and Abbey Road by the The Beatles (bought at the same time).
  3. (a) The last song I listened to before writing this was...
    Earth's Flight by Marco Passarani. Actually, it comes from the Radio National Sound Quality show, which Keith recommended to me.
    (b) Song playing right now:
    The Lighthouse by Amon Tobin. Also from Sound Quality.
  4. Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me.
    • As It Is, by The Pat Metheny Group. Speaking of Now is no longer my favourite album, but this song just builds so wonderfully, and it amps me up.
    • Crash, by The Dave Matthews Band. Its corny pop, but it tingles my spine. I dunno.
    • The Golden Age of Aviation, by The Lucksmiths. Actually, no more this one than other lucksmiths tracks, but I had to choose one.
    • The Koln Concert, by Keith Jarrett. Tracks have no meaning on this album, to which I often listen while working.
    • Follow Me, by Pat Metheny Group. Minimalist, nice.
  5. Which 5 people are you passing this baton to, and why?
    • Afe - because he had interesting taste in music years ago.
    • Keith - because his recommendation answered one of the questions above
    • Chris - Because, er, he owns an album with naked women on the cover, and there must be other interesting stuff in there...
    • John - Er, maybe he will have indonesian or singaporean music in his list? A long bow to draw, perhaps...
    • Bec - Oddly enough, I have no idea what music Bec listens to, even though its more than 9 years now since we met.

1) about 20Mb, plus about another 1.2Gb on CDs somewhere. Old fashioned CDs... 100 or so?
2) Planetpunk (die aerzte) and Die Reklamation (wir sind helden).
3a) Nazareth, planetpunk
b) Meine ex(plodierte) freundin
4) Meine ex(plodierte) freundin, Die Aerzte. "yesterday night my girlfriend exploded, I was not expecting it, so I was smeared with blood, I'm felling quite irritated etc" Classic.
*Et C'est Parti, Nadiya. Pop, crap, but its fun.
*The whole best of Crowded House CD. Can't pick even a bad song on it.
*Best of Cat Stevens, ... hard. At the moment probably "I love my dog"...
*Zehn Kleine Jagermeister, Die Toten Hosen. For Jim, 'cause its from the CD with the naked women on it...
5)Hmmmm. If it has to be blogging people then Jim has it covered!
