Musical baton

The ongoing musical baton has reached me via sil.

Total volume of music files on my computer: about 3 albums. I don’t know what that is in MB.

The last CD I bought: I, too, hardly ever buy CD’s anymore. I think I bought Appetite for Destruction off eBay. Unless Radiohead released anything since then. Maintaining my Radiohead collection is about the only reason I would buy CD’s now as I listen to them so rarely. Hang on, though, it might have been the Christmas ones we got from the garden centre. Oh dear, although it might technically have been the Rock Legends CD that came with the News of the World not long ago and had the Final Countdown and the Ace of Spades on it. I did kind of buy the paper to get the CD so perhaps it counts. Maybe I should stop there.

Song playing right now: Nothing, as I’m at work. I was listening to the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street at the time I first read sil’s post at the weekend.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

  • Angels / Robbie Williams
  • How the web was woven / Elvis Presley
  • Won’t get fooled again / The Who
  • Brothers in arms / Dire Straits
  • Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras / Johannes Brahms (Ein deutsches Requiem ; 2nd movement)

I know the last isn’t a song (or a Lied) as such but it does trump the others easily. Anyone who sneers at Brothers in arms should listen to it while driving through Glencoe..

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton: I don’t know too many people online, so if you were foolish enough merely to subscribe…
