Amoeba Shan’s Musical Baton

*msn: Depressing myself is fun! - Neil Gaiman is COMING TO MELBOURNE. Oh my God oh my God oh my God...*toes curl*

Would I be exaggerating if I said I could not live without music? No. Without it, there would be a whole world of emotions I would never know. So fittingly, the following is my very first-est meme. (if that’s what it’s called.)

Total Volume of Music files on my computer:

4.68 Gb. (would be more if I had broadband…*sigh*…)

The Last CD I bought was:

I…urm…don’t buy CDs. Not for myself anyway. Last one I bought was Jamie Cullum’s…something…for my brother.

However I CAN tell you the last song I downloaded (can yeah can yeah?): Smells Like Teen Spirit, the Tori Amos version.

Song playing right now:

The Servant - Cells

5 songs I listen to alot or that mean alot to me:

The ones I listen to a lot change often enough that the list should not be taken seriously for more than a week after publication. Means a lot, however, lasts years. Not going to make the distinction here though, so have fun figuring it out. :oP

Okay I have to stop here, because I’ve basically started going through my playlist (hence the sudden alphabetization) and trying my best to pick out a few songs here and there but I can’t!! I just can’t!! There are too many. Each song on my hard drive is there because I like/love it and most of them mean something to me to some degree or another.

Anyway I really doubt that looking at a list of songs I like is going to help you understand/compartmentalize me in any way (Nicky will attest to that I’m sure) so if you’re looking for song recommendations, just ask okay?

5 people I’m passing the baton to:

Vee Vien

Nicky

Kevin

Gemynd RP (because he has the most insane list of singers/bands in his Friendster profile)

Angel-la (because I’d like to see an update on her page, haha)
