Memed

Well those who read the comments to an earlier post will be aware of this, thanks to Gonesh9. Actually, this one is pretty harmless compared to an earlier tagging, so here goes:

1. Total amount of music on computer?
None I think. Oh, wait, there are a couple of Richard Ashcroft tracks that I downloaded a little while ago -- just as soon as I can find them. Probably no more than 20MB.

2. CD you last bought?
I bought Prelusive from Sarah Blasko last week, although that was just a little-known six track EP from a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, the Midnight Oil DVD that I referred to in a previous post includes a CD.

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
Those to come -- The Shins.

4. 5 songs you often listen to, or which mean a lot to you?
Ask me this question next week, and the results are likely to be different, but for now:

Cinders -- Sarah Blasko. I don't know why, but this is just a beautiful song. The melody, the arrangement and her stunning voice, it's difficult to describe, but it's almost like being transported to another time and another place.

20 Years -- Something for Kate. Actually, you could also consider De ja vu, Man Made Horse or one or two others from them. A lot of their songs really reflect my view on life, on the fact that what I want from life tends to differ from what society says I should want. I tend to bond with this expression.

Impossible -- The Screaming Jets. This is one of the most inspiring songs to listen to if things in your life aren't going as planned.

Dreamworld -- Midnight Oil. Another band that could probably supply all five, but this one in particular. This is a song about the loss of a place, one I can slowly relate to as the urban sprawl of the Gold Coast gradually increases, swallowing up formerly nice areas.

Wind of Change -- Scorpions. Written about political change in Europe in the early '90s, but still seems to have a meaning today.

Well, those are my five. I've had to exclude quite a few others to come up with them, but there they are. Ask me again next week and I may well have five different ones!

Now I'm supposed to chase up five people, but I'm too lazy, and pyramid schemes don't work. Therefore, I'm only chasing up two people. Ms Mittens and Rodney, enjoy!
