28.05.05 le baton musical

And now for the latest blogging meme… thanks to the Toine for passing the turn to me.

Disk space on my computer taken up by music files:
297 songs / 22 hours / 1.74 GB. So modest!

Last CD I bought:
I have a good ear for playing instruments and singing, but in terms of keeping up with contemporary music, I am quite retarded. Thus, I buy CDs extremely rarely. Two factors have contributed to getting me “back in touch”: people left a whole bunch of CDs at my place this winter, and M-C’s podcasts introduce me to some cool “new” stuff. Thus, she made me fall in love with Röyksopp, and their Melody AM is the last one I bought, after finally finding a decently-priced copy in L.A. Now Thierry has heard it at my place and is desperate to find a copy, which is odd: introducing music to someone is an even rarer experience for me than buying a CD.

(Also bought Odyssey by Fischerspooner at the same time)

What’s playing right now:
* Six Underground / Sneaker Pimps

Songs that are important to me these days:
* Poor Leno / Royksopp
* Something to Talk About / Bonnie Raitt
* Don’t Dream it’s Over / Crowded House
* The Richest Man in Babylon / Thievery Corporation
* Simple Kind of Life / No Doubt

I’m passing the baton on to Lou and Stephie.
