It's all about da music

Lushlife posted a music quiz and of course I had to take up the challenge.

1. Total number of music files on your computer.

425 files, 1.57GB on this computer. More at home.

2. The last CD you bought was...?

I bought AfroDizziAct and Kafka's latest CDs at their CD launch last Saturday week.

3. What is the last song you listened to before reading this message?

Ben Folds - Brick. Off the "Live" CD.

4. Name five songs you often listen to or which mean a lot to you.

Hmm... this is a hard one. Not for songs that mean a lot to me, but to narrow it down to only five. And five I often listen to. So, in no particular order:

(a) Ben Folds - The Luckiest (if I could find a guy who felt like this for me, I'd be happy. It was also the wedding song for TBF and TBFH)
(b) MGF - Pussy town (when my friend and I travelled through Spain, this was our "day song")
(c) Custard - Apartment (my friends used to sing this to me when I first bought my little apartment back when I was 21yo, it always reminds me of that period of my life)
(d) No Doubt - Don't speak (possibly the ultimate breakup song, it's the been my soundtrack to breakups with boyfriends as well as friends)
(e) george - To the void (I'm not sure what it is about this song, maybe the heartbeat drumbeat, but it makes me feel sexy and radical. Also it reminds me of the good times with The Ex. I'm not too sure if the two are related. *g*)

This list would probably change in 1/2 an hours time though. The three songs that probably mean the most to me, I don't actually listen to that often:-

(a) The Beatles - Yesterday (reminds me of singing along with my Dad while he tentatively played the chords from his Beatles songbook. I also played it in my Grade 9 Eisteddford on flute.)
(b) Peter, Paul & Mary - Gone the Rainbow (this song reminds me of childhood camping trips and sitting around the fire singing along to whatever the person playing guitar could play. I still play and sing it fairly regularly but I don't have a recording of it.)
(c) Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (this is the first adult song I was obsessed with. I was 6yo.)

5. Which three people are you going to pass this stick on to, and why?

sarni - because she's into similar music to me, but came to popular music much later than I did and I'm curious.

Peter - because I like the music he plays and am interested in the music he's into.

And I'd like SwissToni to answer, because I think he'd give a good answer and I'm curious if the UK influences would be different.

Listening to: No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
