Music Meme

OK, some of the work stuff is easing up a bit so I can ease back into blogging; sorry...all good things must come to an end.

Wallace over at Streams and Cowtown Pattie at Texas Trifles have both (you guys really need to start talking to one another!) tapped me for a music-related meme and that pretty well meets all the criteria for a content-free post, so...what the hey? Here goes:

  • Total volume of music files on my computer: 16.17 gigabytes. Now, that includes some "overhead" files related to iTunes but that's close enough for government work.

  • The last CD I bought: "Genius Loves Company" - Ray Charles and friends

  • Song playing right now: "I Fought the Law" by The Clash (Had to fire up the shuffle...I don't normally have music going during "working hours")

  • Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
    • "Hit the Road, Jack" - Mo' Horizons
    • "Radio Sol" - Mo' Horizons
    • "Deeper" - Delirious?
    • "We Will Worship the Lamb" - Annie Herring
    • "She's Got the Rhythm, I've Got the Blues" - Alan Jackson

  • The one album I'd pick for the typical desert island experience (I just added this to the meme; so sue me.) - "...And the New Bohemian Freedom" - Mo' Horizons

  • Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
    • Julie at Lone Prairie Blog (recognizing that she's posting a series of artwork on depression)
    • Jim at Serotoninrain (recognizing that he's busy googling himself)
    • Bill at Out of the Bloo (recognizing that he's awfully busy)
    • Jen at Lintefiniel Musing (recognizing that she's downright giddy in love; congrats, amiga! ;-)
    • Patti over at White Pebble (recognizing that her son has swiped her iPod)

Update: Having just listened to it again, for about the 400th time, I'd like to change my "desert island" vote to Cindy Morgan's "Listen."

Looks good. I was working on financing for a new gas project and the new renovations to the Planetarium, when this "project" came thru. I dropped everything and spent hours coming up with my five songs.

By the way I believe that since CTP and myself both signed you up for this....that you ought to be held responsible for 10 songs and 10 baton passings.

Coolness! I'll stop googling and get right on this.

I did it, though I can't say I'm proud of my efforts.

Julie, you never struck me as a file-sharer. The things we learn...

I love the Delirious? cut titled "Touch" on the Roaring Lambs CD. Know that one?

Posted by: Jim at May 19, 2005 09:06 AM

Eric, I now have to do some listening to some folks I've never heard of. I guess I need to get out more.

Jim, I've not listened to the "Roaring Lambs" album, although I've heard of it. Is it worth buying in total, or do I just need to look for the Deliriou5? cut. (And who the heck knows how to spell their name, anyway?)

Mike, I probably need to do a clarifying post about my musical selections. I suspect a lot of people have never heard of groups like Mo' Horizons, as they get stuck in the mostly-neglected "World Music" genre.

Well, the Roaring Lambs CD was a nice idea, but it is mostly missable. The two standouts as far as I'm concerned are Delirious5x?* cut and PFR's "Kingdom Come." I wouldn't go buying it for just those two.

However, you might be able to find it online somewhere--"Touch" is the name of the song. I don't download anymore but I used to and I think I found that song out in cyberland.

I looked for it on iTunes, but no luck. I'm not a downloader either, so I may have to do without. Thanks anyway.

Posted by: Eric at May 20, 2005 09:17 AM

(I fear my stock has dropped. Yes. I, uh, sometimes download.)
