I’ve been tagged by immlass<\/a>:
\n<\/strong>
\n1. Total number of records I own on CD (or vinyl or cassette):<\/strong> <\/p>\n

CDs: The total is somewhere in the 550-600 range, I think.<\/p>\n

Vinyl: About 100 or so LPs, despite the fact that I pretty much never listen to them.<\/p>\n

Cassettes: Maybe 50 or so pre-recorded cassettes, which I also never actually play anymore.<\/p>\n

2. Total volume of music files on my computer:<\/b><\/p>\n

Errr….I have no idea, and I’m not using any handy all-encompassing music programs that’ll tell me. Far less than 1G though, as most of what I have is whatever samples I’ve downloaded.<\/p>\n

3. The last record I bought:<\/b> <\/p>\n

Tanya Donelly, Whiskey Tango Ghosts.<\/em> It’s a great record, despite not sounding at all like Belly, or even much like her previous solo efforts. My thanks to wojsvenwoj<\/a> for recommending it.

\n4. The last record listened to \/ song playing now: <\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve currently got the stream for the upcoming Sleater-Kinney album, Woods<\/em>, playing. This one’s extra-crunchy, with plenty of distortion, as S-K once again push the boundries of what they can do.<\/p>\n

5. Five records that I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me (either singles or albums):<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

a. Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes<\/em>. This is pretty much the CD that got me into female vocals. Or maybe it’d be more accurate to say that it’s the one that made me nuts for them.<\/p>\n

b. Sleater-Kinney, Dig Me Out<\/em>. The first S-K CD I bought, and probably still the one I listen to the most.<\/p>\n

c. Susan McKeown & Lindsay Horner, Through the Bitter Frost and Snow<\/em>. This is far and away my favorite holiday\/winter\/Christmas album, mainly because I love Susan’s voice.<\/p>\n

d. Veda Hille, Spine<\/em>. Veda is completely and utterly brilliant, and this album is just one great song after another.<\/p>\n

e. Dresden Dolls, self-titled. Since I got this CD over a year ago, it’s pretty much lived in my &nbsp portable CD case.<\/p>\n

6. Finally, tag five people to do this meme:<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ll tag both wojsvenwoj<\/a> and smoemeth<\/a>, because of the depth and sheer size of their shared CD collection, colomon<\/a>, because he’ll pick all sorts of cool trad stuff, lintra<\/a>, because I have no real idea what her tastes in music are, and jaylake<\/a>, just because I can. As always, no obligation implied for those I’ve tagged, and no reason for anyone else to feel like they can’t pick up the meme despite not being tagged..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
