I’ve been handed the Musical Baton by Darren:

Total volume of music files on your computer…

A sad reflection of my sloth at committing my 700+ CDs to hard drive is that I’ve a mere 859.5 MB on the work computer (and I think it’s important not to overlook that 0.5!) — there’s just a little more on the machine at home.

The last CD you bought was…

My memory is hazy, it was either Turn on the bright lights, Interpol or Puzzle, Tahiti 80 (but it could have been both bought at the same time).

Song playing right now…

Ceremony, New Order

Five songs you listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to you…

In no particular order:

• Radio Free Europe, REM
• Us and Them, Pink Floyd
• Knives Out, Radiohead
• Not Even Jail, Interpol
• Crash, The Primitives

It’s amazingly difficult to come up with such a short list, especially with the competing demands of the listen a lot/mean a lot requirement and the sheer variety of music that I enjoy, so this list is representative rather than definitive [Geez, next you’ll be setting the lawyers onto it! Lighten up! – Ed).

An even more amazingly difficult task is coming up with five bloggers whom I know and who haven’t already juggled the baton — so I’ll defer, just like Michael Green, and leave the baton to any Kiwi bloggers who read this site. As that will be a task in itself, and in the interests of symmetry, I will hand the baton on to Darren in the hope that it will encourage him to put something on his site!
