I normally hate memes¹, but Jason put me on a short list so I'm honored, plus I had already been fairly interested by the half-dozen or so appearances it had already made on my daily reads. So I am a little ashamed of myself, but here we go:

Total volume of music files on my computer:

89.6 GB²

Compression is for weenies.³

The last CD I bought was:

Motown Remixed

Because I'm an obsessive Z-Trip completist, and because it's good. It came out today, but I got it yesterday. How you like me now?

Song playing right now:

Grover Washington, Jr. - Masterpiece

Five songs I listen to a lot lately:

1. Starsailor - Silence is Easy - 02 - Fidelity


2. Z-Trip - Shifting Gears - 05 - About Face


3. Doves - Some Cities - 04 - Snowden


4. The fading echoes of Floater covering “White Winged Dove,” by Stevie Nicks at the concert a week and a half ago.⁴


5. The scene with the lightning strike in Casshern because it sounds so delicious (in DTS no less) and I haven't imported the soundtrack yet.⁵

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:

• Aaron


• Garrett


• Anil


• Christina


• Joe

¹  I don't like to appear like a mindless follower, and I shudder at the thought of being lumped in with huge numbers of people.
²  I've been forced to delete a good number of gigs to make room for other stuff lately, so it should be a good deal higher. Alas....
³  In all honesty, some of them are actually FLACs because of the above footnote. But only about 2 gigs, so that's still a non-weenie percentage (and a non-weenie compression scheme to boot).
⁴  Which was AWESOME, by the way.
⁵  Truth be told, I first typed that the soundtrack doesn't exist, but a quick fact-checking mission led me to find a few of them and I will probably have it soon. Will power be damned.
