Memeified
So just when I was bemoaning the fact that another week's gone by without a blog, Aquarion passes on a memeified baton... It's a good thing he didn't pass it on yesterday really, what with all the procrastination I was attempting in order to avoid preparing my presentation ("The innocent have nothing to fear in a world where all the databases are linked. Discuss") for this morning :-)
- Total volume of music files on my computer
Not a huge amount — 5.09GB, which translates to 1370 songs and about 3 days, 18 hours' playing time. On the plus side though, it does mean I'm very familiar with all my music, which can be a good thing when you're inclined to distractedly sing along without even noticing which song is playing...
- The last CD I bought was
Oh, heavens, I've no idea. The last CD purchased on my behalf would have been Christmas 2003, a trio of Let It Be... Naked, Suzanne Vega's Tried And True, and Silence Is Easy by Starsailor. The last album I bought, though, was Tidal by Fiona Apple, from the iTunes Music Store.
Oh, I've just remembered — I bought Vienna Teng's Waking Hour for my dad for Christmas. And something or other for my brother too. Does that count?
- Song playing right now
It's changed a couple of times since I started writing this, but right now it's Ani DiFranco covering The Hurricane. Earlier it was Please Please Please from Fiona Apple's third (not-gonna-be-released) album, and before that it was a Shannon Campbell song, though I can't remember which one.
- Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me

I'd start examining my play count in iTunes, but all my hard drive shenanigans resulted in reinstalling many things, and so my play count has been erased. I'm scouring through my songs instead — I thought this would be difficult, but I have at least a dozen to choose from. Nevertheless:
- Silverman – Eleven Eleven
- Beatles – I Should Have Known Better
- Ani DiFranco – You Had Time
- Moxy Früvous – My Baby Loves A Bunch Of Authors
- Oasis – Don't Look Back In Anger
- The five people I'm passing the baton onto

Curse Kevin for having done this already!

Love the new layout, I might even borrow bits of it.
Well this has spread somewhat! 19 Warwick Bloggers so far, all initiated via me via you...
Just following the links looking to see what people are listening to. Thought I'd mention, I love Ani Difranco's "You Had Time". What a beautiful song. Thanks for including it.
