A Musical Baton

May 18th, 2005

It seems that Jonathan Fenocchi has passed me an almost-legitimate Musical Baton. So here’s my contribution to the meme.

Total Volume

4.91 GB in /home/Mike/My Music/

Last CDs Purchased

Beauty From Pain, by Superchic[k]. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I’ve happened to enjoy most of it, particularly the title track. They’ve changed a lot since their contribution to the Legally Blonde soundtrack, and I think I like the most recent version. Not as rock-ish, but more thoughtful lyrically.

Imaginarium, by Terry S. Taylor. It’s a collection of favourite songs from three of Doug TenNapel’s games: The Neverhood, Skullmonkeys, and Boombots. Bizarre and delightful, all at the same time.

Playing Right Now

Carly Simon — Nobody Does It Better

Five Favourites

U2 — Mysterious Ways
Guns ‘N Roses — Sweet Child of Mine
Dandy Warhols — Bohemian Like You
Delirious — My Glorious
Jann Arden — Thing For You

This is just as bad as a chain letter…well…almost

Really it is, yeah.

But all the big dogs do it… It’s a chance for people to tune their cultural antennae and pretend that the have a highly sophisticated taste outside the mainstream.

Which I, of course, do not. I listen to whatever I feel like, which is usually what everyone else is listening to.

At first I thought it was like a chain letter as well, but there was no, “if you don’t pass this on your mother will burn in hell” at the end, so it can’t possibly be chain mail. ;)

I generally just listen to whatever the hell I want as well, unfortunately that does mean that I have to find what I want first and then either buy it or download it. Luckily I like a wide variety of music, so I’m good.
