The Musical Baton

Livia and Paul sent this to me last week, and I feel obliged to do my part.

  • 13 GB on my external hard drive
  • 4.3 GB on my laptop

The last CD I bought

Song playing right now

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

  • The Frigid, Frigid, Frigid Body of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg - Yume Bitsu
  • Red Letter Day - The Get Up Kids
  • The Concept (SNL Live) - Teenage Fanclub
  • The Plan (Live) - Built to Spill

Five songs I'm happy I rediscovered while doing this

Five people to whom I'm passing the baton

I'm leaving the baton right here and you can pick it up if you want. But I'm going to add this new category...

Five songs I'm embarrassed I love

  • Hotel California - The Eagles (that bass line... pure sunburned funk)
  • In too deep - Sum 41
  • Semi-charmed life - Third Eye Blind
  • Yankee Rose - DLR
  • You Can't Hide the Heino - Hanson Brothers
