from my darling lotusgirl :
1. total amount of music files on your computer–
well, I have 12 artists just under A in windows media player and then there’s itunes… no idea, but it’s a staggering amount. far more music on my ‘puter than anything else.
2. the last cd you bought was…
Revival by The Reverand Horton Heat
and Alright, This Time Just the Girls, various artists
3. what was the last song you listened to before reading this message?
Angel by the Corrs
4. write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow– Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
was there ever a prettier song?
At Last– Etta James
the perfect love song (not including Forever by Ben darling, of course)
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough– Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
it’s a dance around the house with the kids song… choreography and all
Yours– Blues Traveller
melts my heart, my black little heart
Under a Blanket of Blue– Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
I’d love to sing this with someone I love…
(honorable mention: Come Go With Me– Beach Boys)
cos who can hear this and not smile? I had to pick only one bb song to download, as frankly I listened waaaaaay too much to them in junior high and made myself sick of them, but this is the one that sticks
5. what three people are you going to pass this baton to and why?
Anxiety Zone– cos her musical taste always keeps me in awe
GreasyTNT– I can’t wait to hear her answers
Always Say Never– he always blows me away
BONUS: music as inspirational poetry–
not bitter, beat a vicious cycle. typecast as the model couple… I’m sorry but I never got suicidal; it wasn’t the end of the world.
~the Waitresses
the wounds she gave me were the wounds that would heal me.
~Sting
I got the skills to pay the bills.
~the Beastie Boys

I adore that version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but couldn’t listen to it for a long time because it reminded me of my friend that committed suicide. I can listen again now
Oooh and I just downloaded a version of At Last…not telling you who it is because I’ll be mocked but it’s really good 
*grin* loving your bonus section
And no, that’s not a euphemism, but I love that bonus section too
Well I do declare!
Give me a day and you shall have your just rewards!
nice site
“99 Red Balloons” the sca version, featuring an entire verse sung in German.
I just discovered that I’ve been walking around in public all morning in a form fitting viscose shirt with one nipple askew. aaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuugh!
YAH!!
I love, love, love Marvin Gaye. All songs of his. The best part about my Marvin Gaye love is that it has nothing to do with anyone from the past, he’s just mine because I love him.
nice music…nice, little black hearts can be melted…hmm interesting. whats this about a baton? i can swing a sword, but a baton?
i dunno much about the rest, but the nipaskew made me snort.
oh! I love Israel’s version of that song. Hey, have you heard his other stuff and the stuff he does with his group The Makaha Sons? I am a big fan of the Makaha Sons. I like to play them at parties.
Last time I went to the dr.’s and had to take my top off he asked me if I knew that my nipples ‘looked’ in different directions? Well lookie here….
I might steal this, if you don’t mind…
awesome meme!!
And yeah…I didn’t think @ 46 my dad needed more “stuff” so a good steak dinner seemed like a better idea!
Especially the North Shore dessert…MmmmM!!
haha i got you to listen to the new corrs album.
like it?
