Worst and best-worst band names of 2006 so far

Get cape. Wear cape. Fly. is definitely a best-worst. And I kind of like Genital Hercules.

Pandora.com

That's an amazing amount of information put to an amazingly good use. It...it actually works.

Artist is cool, but almost too easy. Try it with a song.

See? Isn't that awesome?!

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.

Z-Trip Day!

[It's only $6.99 at Circuit City/Best Buy this week. Oh, and it's good.]
