John Oxton passed the musi­cal baton to me so here goes nothing;

Total vol­ume of music files on my computer

Near­ing close to 9-10GB on my work com­puter and about 30GB on my home com­puter. My tastes in music vary so I’ve got every­thing from orches­tral to alter­na­tive with a wee bit of clas­si­cal mixed in.

The last CD I bought was

The last CD I bought was the Men in Black sound­track (for $1.00 from ebgames). What can I say? I’m a sucker for orches­tral / movie sound­tracks, notably any­thing by Danny Elfman.

Song play­ing right now

Bring Your Lovin’ Back Here by Gomez. Thanks goes out to Molly for tun­ing me in and get­ting me hooked.

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

  • Run — Col­lec­tive Soul
  • Iris — Goo Goo Dolls
  • Banana Pan­cakes — Jack Johnson
  • Some­one Else’s Arms — Mae

Erik Sagen, the mas­ter­mind behind Kar­tooner has passed me the musi­cal baton, so… Total vol­ume of music files on my com­puter My main machine at home has about 26GB, and thanks to Ian and his won­der­ful library, I have another 12GB on an exter­nal drive I used to carry back and forth to work. I

Is it cool if I run one of those peo­ple down and steal the baton, because I’m really T.O.‘d that I didn’t the baton!

I like your selec­tions. I’ll have to check out Gomez. By the way, it took me a day (because I’m sloooow), but I ran with the baton this morn­ing. Thanks for the pass.

I’m a fat, clumsy oaf. That rules me out for car­ry­ing batons, I think.

I’m a big fan of sound­tracks too. The MIB was a steal, way to go. I’ve got all the Star Wars sound­tracks, includ­ing the spe­cial edi­tion CD sets with the fancy embossed slip case. I’m such a geek.

Don­nie, I didn’t get it either. I went for a run this morn­ing with­out a baton. What a let down. :-)

Wow, might that be mae as in the chris­t­ian band on the Tooth and Nail label!? cooool. I went to see them a few days ago. Embers and envelopes is their best. (~I’m not religious!)

Greg: I think you’ll enjoy Gomez. They have that Brit pop / garage band feel to them.

Simon: I had to bend the rules ini­tially to fit in one more per­son. Next time, if I receive one of these memes I’ll include you in the fun.

Mike: Some of my favorite movie sound­track (orches­tral) com­posers include: Danny Elf­man, James Horner, John Williams and Rachel Port­man, amongst a slew of others.

Andrew: Chris­t­ian band? Well, I sup­pose so and that would make sense.

I ran with it and passed it on! Enjoy.

Tooth and Nail records has some great bands. Hawk Nel­son, Thou­sand Foot Krutch. Good stuff.
