Total volume of music files on my computer:
around 30gb…though I just deleted 10gb off of the laptop yesterday…a lot of that was duplicates though.
The last Cd I bought was:
Devendra Banhart: Nino Rojo
I have five itunes song credits that are burning a hole in my pocket. I want the new spoon so badly, along with the firery furnaces ep etc etc. I will stop now.
We did just buy a ton of records at the Columbus, Mississippi thrift store this weekend. Lots of instrumental surf music. I also got Michael Jackson’s off the wall, too.
Song Playing Right Now:
Live with Regis and Kelly!
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
This is tough
certain artists take me to different places.
These can range from early Joni Mitchell & Cat Stevens to Pavement & Built to Spill to Belle and Sebastian & Magnetic Fields to Iron & Wine & Spoon.
Tough. So I won’t really answer this…though I have a weakeness right now for Ted Leo’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s Since you’ve been gone & the yeah yeah yeah’s maps. I am sure that it will pass.
I have a weakeness right now for Ted Leo’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s Since you’ve been gone
I’m ashamed to admit that I like (no, love) the original better than the cover. Thank you, iTunes, for letting me purchase this pop song without having to go to a store and be physically mocked by the employees.
I do like the Ted Leo version, it is just that he sounds a bit too much like Tiny Tim in it for me.
