Yet Another Music Meme

From Perverse Access Memory.

1. What's the total size of music files on your computer?

Only a few Mb, consisting of a few free downloads. I haven't ripped any of my extensive CD collection.

2. What is the last CD you bought?

I bought three CDs over the weekend, "Novella" by Renaissance, "Agaetis Byrjun" by Sigur Rós, and Spock's Beard's latest, "Octane", the last of which I've yet to listen to.

3. What is the last song you listened to before you read this post?

That would have been the last number from Rammstein's show on Sunday night. :)

4. Name four songs that you listen to a lot or that mean a lot to you.

I've recently listed my top ten all-time favourites; these four are songs I've been playing a lot lately.

Mother Nature by Mostly Autumn. I've been listening to this band more than just about anyone else over the past few months, this is their best song.
The Return of Pan by The Waterboys. A great song from a decidedly average album.
Bless this Child by Nightwish. One of the all time great intros; A choral chant that builds until it's suddenly cut through by powerchord guitar.
Hysteria, by Muse. Just about the only 'fashionable' British band who I find not only listenable but entertaining; this is the best song from their best album.

5. Which three people are you passing the baton on to and why?

Scott, Steve Jones, Silkenray, selected more-or-less at random.

You and Scott were two other people I was hoping would pick up this one. :)

I don't do memes, figuring they're for people with more operating systems than friends. But while I was out this morning I bought:

Mott Live, 30th Anniversary Edition
The Darkness, Permission To Land
After The Fire, Der Kommissar

A mixed HMV bag...

I haven't really read blogs lately... I'll do mine tomorrow. Off to a show momentarily!
