Musical Quizzie Thing
Never one to refuse a challenge, so here we go...
1. Total amount of music files on your computer:
home: 1747, work: who knows, I'm at home
2. The last CD you bought was:
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Take a Break
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
Sunny Day Real Estate, "Every Shining Time You Arrive"
4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:
Dropkick Murphys, "Bastards on Parade" - It may be the most perfect car-singalong song ever. Plus, I like the dual messages behind it.
Weezer, "Surfwax America" - I don't know why, but I've always loved this song more than any other Weezer song. It just makes me very happy, and again, awesome car-singing song.
Ministry, "Burning Inside"; Tool, "Crawl Away"; Rage Against the Machine, "Killing in the Name of" - I know, I'm cheating by putting three, but these songs essentially defined my early 20's. It's like someone distilled angst, loathing, and uncertainty into their purest forms, and recorded it. "Burning Inside", especially, can still make me want to fuck someone up.
The Changelings, "Orbit" - Conversely, this song contains an unsurpassed ability to soothe my savage soul, as it were. It's very beautiful and calming.
Tori Amos, "China" - Whenever I had troubles, of the girl variety or otherwise, and just needed to be depressed for a while, this is the song I would turn to. Tori and I have spent many a night, just staying in and drinking.
Honorable Mention: Helmet, "Unsung" - because it's the best heavy song ever.
5. What 3 people are you going to pass this baton to and why?
Sara, because she is cool and musical. Steph, because she'll actually do it, and has good taste in music. Denise, because I'm curious to see whether she'll actually try and remember how to post to her blog.

The last CD I bought - Bought two together, on Amazon. 13 Songs by Fugazi and Roxy Music's forst album. Both are terrific.
The last song I listened to before posting was the Cure's Fasination Street. Although right now, Aaron's cover of Jump Around, complete with trumpet part by Dr. John (Standridge, that is) is playing
5 songs that mean alot to me. -
Paul Simon's Late in the evening. It just makes me happy.
David Bowie - Width of a Circle. It is one of the most complete songs I know. It has everything I want.
Weezer - Island in the sun. Again with the happy thing.
Rancid - Radio. "when I got the music, I've gotta place to go". My fav Punk band, and Matt Freemans is one of the best bass players ever.
Air - Mike Mills. I see a movie of driving and passinf scenery when I hear it.
What 3 people blah blah? No one. I am a bad blogger. In addition, Sara already has it via Aaron.
