A Musical Baton

A meme from the ever-lovely Ladycracker.

Total volume of music files on my computer: Not a single note. New job, new desk, new environment, fucking old machine. Until this morning, that is, when a lovely new black box came a-sliding over my desk. Bring it on.

Song playing right now: none, for the above reason. But I can hear Prince's "Little Red Corvette" emanating from the desk across the way.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

Reel Around the Fountain — The Smiths (Hatful of Hollow)
Folk Song — Bongwater (The Power of Pussy)
Strike Me Down — The Reindeer Section (Son of Evil Reindeer)
I Must Be Getting Soft — Tex Don and Charlie (Sad but True)
Where Do You Go To My Lovely? —Peter Sarstedt (every bloody album he's ever released)

A handful of people I'm tossing the baton to: Greta, Riza & J(aded)

Here we go...

Total volume of files: 1.15GB (is that enough?)

Song playing right now: 'Not About To Lose' - Ron Sexsmith (from Retriever)

5 songs that I play a lot or mean a lot to me:
(This is a bit hard because I tend to play whole albums at a time rather than listen to individual songs, but I'll have a go anyway)
1. 'Jealous Guy' - John Lennon (from Imagine)
2. 'Wuthering Heights' - Kate Bush (from The Kick Inside)
3. Bizarre Love Triangle' - New Order (from Brotherhood)
4. 'No Surprises' - Radiohead (from OK Computer, but how can you really pick just one song from that album?)
5. 'Easter Theatre' - XTC (from Apple Venus)

Ta. That was fun.
