Notes on my music collection

Gee, I haven’t been involved in a meme in quite some time, and I’m currently nursing a wicked sinus infection and suffering from post-Sith syndrome, but I’ll play along. It’s a music meme, and everyone knows I’m a sucker for both. I should note that my copy of iTunes has 6811 songs, some 500+ of which were purchased via the iTunes music store in the 18 months since I got my first iPod. (The other 6300 or so are ripped from my own personal CD collection.) Anyone who thinks mp3s are the death-knell of the music industry is a moron. I should also note that I ripped all of the original soundtrack anthology about two weeks ago and have been listening to almost nothing else lately.


Total volume of music on my computer: 24.94 GB

The last CD I bought: American Idiot

Song playing right now: “Main Title” — John Williams

Five songs I listen to frequently:

  • Whatsername — Green Day
  • Less Than You Hoped For — Gunmoll
  • Sweet Happy Life (Sambra de Orfeu) — Peggy Lee
  • Volare — Gipsy Kings
  • It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry — Bob Dylan

Five people who receive the next toss:

  1. music meme!

    I just happened to be checking out my late, great friend David’s site this morning and saw to my surprise that I had been invited to participate in this sweet little meme. I have chosen a few folks to pass it along to myself. If you are in the list …

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
