Oh, all right. Music meme time.<\/p>\n

First, the Friday Random Ten (stolen from Glen<\/a> and John<\/a>, among others<\/a>):<\/p>\n

“Lost Cause” – Beck
“Tomorrow, Wendy” – Concrete Blonde
“With God on Our Side” – Bob Dylan
“Laid” – James
“Fade Into You” – Mazzy Star
“Are You Sure” – Willie Nelson
“Blue Suede Shoes” – Carl Perkins
“What I’d Say” – Ray Charles
“Be My Yoko Ono” – Barenaked Ladies
“Good Girls Don’t” – the Knack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then there’s the Nameless Music Meme, which I’d noticed yesterday, thanks to Kim<\/a>, and today, thanks to Eric<\/a>, who goaded me into posting my own answers by including a link to me in his:<\/p>\n

1. Total volume of music files on my computer:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

iTunes says 326 songs, 1.2 days, 1.24 GB, and who am I to argue with iTunes? That’s only on this computer, of course, which isn’t actually my<\/i> computer and, as such, doesn’t include most of the music I’ve copied from CD to computer. It includes, really, only stuff I’ve bought off of iTunes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2. The Last CD I bought was:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Very Best of the Vibrations<\/a>, for a mix exchange project that had by then already gotten a little out of hand. The last CD I bought just because I wanted it was Pink Martini’s Sympathique<\/i><\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3. The Last Song I Listened To Before Writing This:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that would be “Good Girls Don’t” by the Knack, as mentioned above. Before that<\/i>, before the whole top ten meme thing…maybe something on the radio. The last song I distinctly remember listening to on the train ride home was “Jet” by Wings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3b. Song I’m Listening to Now\/First Song That Came Up On Shuffle:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To play fair, I closed and re-opened iTunes, then set it to random again. “Woo Hoo” by the 5.6.7.8’s is now playing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4. Five Songs I Listen To A Lot:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If iTunes is anything to judge by — and, again, who am I to argue with iTunes? — these would be:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Will it Go Round in Circles” – Billy Preston
“And She Was” – Talking Heads
“Bust a Move” – Young MC
“The Best of Jill Hives” – Guided by Voices
“Are You Sure” – Willie Nelson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5) Five people I am passing this baton to:<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, anybody who’s reading this and cares to play along, I guess. But that’s it, really.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go not<\/i> listen to some music for awhile.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
