I was tapped by Fatemeh to fill out this quiz, so here goes:
What is the total number of music files on your computer? 368 albums, 16.86 gb. Plus a bunch of live shows on my laptop.
The last CD you last bought?
Tegan and Sara, So Jealous. I was turned on to them a few years ago, and love this new album.
The Replacements, All Shook Down. This was a replacement (no pun intended) CD - one of those that I know that I have, but couldn't find -- so I bought it on an impulse from iTunes. When I was in college, I lived in Italy for a year and was only able to take a small amount of music with me. This was one of the tapes that I took and listened to all the time. It reminds me of running in the mornings near the villa where I lived.
What is the song you last listened to before reading this message? Alana Davis, Blame it on Me
Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
No Man's Woman, Sinead O'Connor. This is just a defiant, fantastic, song that I used to listen to over and over again.
One Sweet World, Dave Matthews Band. I have always been a big Dave Matthews Band fan, and this song reminds me of a few years ago when Jason and I had just started dating.
Shelter from the Storm, Bob Dylan. A couple of years ago, my great friends Jeff and Molly had a fantastic wedding. One of the best things about it was the music that they had painstakingly chosen for the reception, the dinner - everything. This song reminds me of that wedding -- I don't know specifically if this song was on the soundtrack, but this song just reminds me of that time.
You're All I need to Get By, Aretha Franklin.
Grace, U2. Like a lot of people my age, I grew up listening to U2. Joshua Tree was one of those teenage albums that I was totally addicted to. I was so excited when a gazillion years into their career they were able to produce an album as great as All That You Can't Leave Behind.
Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
World on a Plate. Although all of her answers are probably going to have to do with the brand new U2 album. If you haven't had a chance to check out her blog, do so. She runs rings around most of us when it has to do with researched, well thought out posts.
Jeff and Molly at Leknott. They have taught me so much when it comes to music, so it only seems appropriate that I pass the baton to them.
Brownie Points because I have been enjoying her blog lately - especially the sign she created that says "In case of fries take stairs".
