ArtLung Blog - Passing the musical baton
Joe Crawford has passed me the music baton:
Total size of music files on my computer:25Mb on my work computer. I'm down to 10Gb on my home computer. Building a media machine to connect to the TV. It's got 160Gb dedicated. Hopefully I can max that out soon.
The last CD I bought was:Two discs for steph. L.A.M.B. from Gwen Stefani. And Franz Ferdinand, the self-titled number.
Song playing right now:Silence. I like coming in to work early and not hearing a dang thing. I listen to the iPod on my walk to work. But this morning I called my parents instead. Dad was getting ready to play some golf. Mom had just finished walking Al. We talked all the way through downtown, from Little Italy to the East Village.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:This is a tough one. You're asking for my desert island songs, which is a lot tougher than my desert island albums. Put my feet to the fire will you? Ok, here they are:
Portishead - Sour Times
Beck - Cold Brains
The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (Evil Bro 93 Album has an excellent Live version of this song)
Neil Young - Old Man
The Smiths - This Charming Man
A note on This Carming Man. It was the first Alternative song I fell in love with. One of my dad's students gave my dad a mized tape with this song on it. The playlist also included The Petenders, The The, Ebn Ozn, and Depeche Mode. When I got a walkman for Christmas early in the 80's this was the first tape I put in. Everythign else we had was vinyl, Hence the Neil Young affinity. I think I listened to that tape for about 4 hours a day the entire winter vacation. I used to also listen to it travelling to soccer games. I was a weird kid.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
Stephanie Abbott
Noel Abbott
Eric Ancker
Scott Dunn
Johan Almenberg
