That music meme

I semi-answered this in Kristen’s comments a while back, but Maria’s beat me about the head with the baton. And I’ve changed my answers a bit.

Total volume of music files on my computer: er… no idea. I only have a 128MB MP3 player that is currently functioning as a thumbdrive, so I think only a few hundred megabytes. I’m traditional, I like CDs (and I still have tapes).

The last CD I bought was: Heavier Things, John Mayer; Guero, Beck (and two others I forget right now) from my trip to Singapore last week.

Song playing right now: I’m not listening to anything right now. A year of not having a CD player kind of got me used to not listening to music. But the last album I listened to was Heavier Things.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: not listening to music much precludes the first option, so here are songs that mean something (but not necessarily a lot) to me — Want You Bad, The Offspring (for obviously amusing reasons); Good Enough, Sarah McLachlan (it was so sad); No Such Thing, John Mayer (it makes me want to run around); Friday I’m In Love, The Cure (brings back memories of dancing around like a lunatic on Sentosa when my mum was there for a conference and we stayed at her hotel); No Logic, Area 7 (my introduction to ska).

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton: er, I dunno. Who hasn’t done it? I’d say Neil, but he doesn’t have a bloog (and I’d love to see him list that song as meaning a lot to him). Philippe?
