Music (tag)

Although no one tagged me as such (I saw it on Libraryman‘s blog), and I think this is a bit old, I thought I’d do it anyway..

Total Volume of music files on my computer:

In iTunes, 13.92gb. 2448 songs, 7.6 days’ worth. There might be a few mp3s floating around too.

The Last CD I Bought Was:

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2. Which I have not really listened to at all.

Song playing right now: Shancha hua 山茶花 ‘Camellia’ by Deng Lijun (Teresa Teng)

Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me:

Mean a lot:

1. Don’t Dream It’s Over, Crowded House

2. You Are The Everything, REM

3. Throw Your Arms Around Me, Hunters and Collectors

4. Randwick Bells, Paul Kelly

5. Bigmouth Strikes Again, The Smiths

6. Which Will, Lucinda Williams

7. Bujang Lapok, P.Ramlee (reminds me of my childhood)

8. Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley

9. Closer to Fine, Indigo Girls

10. So. Central Rain, REM

Hmm. Ten songs, not five. Never mind.

Listen to a lot:

1. Yue’er Xiang Ningmeng 月儿像柠檬 ‘The moon is like a lemon’, Yang Xiaoping 杨小苹

2. Serenade No 13 in G major K.525 Eine kleine Nachtmusik, W A Mozart, Collegium Aureum

3. REM – anything, all the time. My Favourite Band.

4. One, U2

5. Korban Mode, Hetty Koes Endang (very funny song in the keroncong style, about fashion victims.)

First concert ever attended: Crowded House, Perth Entertainment Centre, 1986. Neither the band nor the venue exist any longer.

Passing this along to three others:
