Jean de Baton! Jean de Baton!
Since nobody loves me, I had to wrest the musical baton off Pei Chi by force. (Yes, I know 'wrest by force' is redundant.)
Total volume of music files on my computer:
9.5 GB—around 2000 songs. Not a whole lot, especially when most of it's stuff transferred from my sister's PC and which I don't really like anyway.
The last CD I bought was:
Blueberry Boat by The Fiery Furnaces, which was, honestly, just a little too weird for me. Antics by Interpol, which I got at the same time, was much more to my liking.
Song playing right now:
'Under My Skin' by Rachael Yamagata (on my sister's PC, not mine).
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
1) 'It's Not' by Aimee Mann, one of those extremely unhealthy songs where the times it's most appropriate and appealing are exactly the times one shouldn't be listening to it.
2) 'Gay Bar' by Electric Six, a gloriously silly song (improved by Viking kittens) that somehow became the anthem of the Foyle course 2003, the best week of my life.
3) 'Protection' by Massive Attack feat. Tracy Thorn, the personal significance of which originally came from its importance to JH. I've come to love it for other reasons as well since then, but I can't say if I would have if not for that initial spark. This was before I started reading Kundera and questioning the assumption that I understood the motifs (youth notwithstanding) of other people's lives.
4) 'Disco 2000' by Pulp, which captures the flavour of too too many periods of my life.
5) 'Wonderwall' covered by Cat Power. This one doesn't really mean anything to me, but it is a kickarse song.
Five people to whom I'm passing the baton:
1) Ben
2) Michelle
3) Matt
4) YJ
5) Richard

I wouldn't normally do any of these little pass-it-along games, but -- was that a Hitman-Sixpack reference in your title?
Oui.
Well, I guess I can't refuse, then. :)
I did a very similar meme recently but am toying with the idea of doing an ALL-NEW! version. Will update you if/when I do.
