I've been brutally hit over the digital head with the musical baton meme by my buddy Marko so I guess that means I have to do something with it. I think I'll swing it around and see what I can hit...
Total volume of music files on my computer
I just did a Get Info on my Music folder and it's way larger than I thought .... almost 11GB. See, that's the problem with having a massive hard drive (or an iPod) — your new goal in life is to fill it up. Want a good way to get gigabytes of music really, really quickly? Go download StreamRipperX, set it up to some internet radio stations overnight (found easily via iTunes Radio), and then go to sleep. The next morning, you will have gigabytes upon gigabytes of perfectly ID3-tagged MP3s ready to listen to.
The last CD I bought
Hmm, actually I bought a CD the other day. My Dad wanted The Doors Greatest Hits for his birthday so I bought it a little over a week ago. I think the last CDs I bought for my personal collection were at a used record store: Rammstein: Sehnsucht and Chemical Brothers: Surrender.
Song playing right now
"Speed of Sound" off Coldplay's soon-to-be-released album "X & Y." I usually find a song and stick it on repeat for a few hours while I do work ... last night was "All is Full of Love" by Bjork.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or mean a lot to me
Wow, this is a tough one. So many songs directly bring back memories so it's tough to pick a top five, but I'll try. In no order...
- "Forever and For Always" by Shania Twain
- "Clocks" by Coldplay
- "Colorblind" by Counting Crows
- "Two Points for Honesty" by Guster
- "The District Sleeps Alone" by The Postal Service
Five people to whom I'm passing the baton
Yeah!
Thanks for the pass, Mike. I stayed up way too late putting my post together, but it was fun :-)

@John: Same thing here, but now I have a flu and a headache since I missed some sleeping hours last night : )

I've been batonned, now to escape during lunch break and make a post. Interestingly enough, this seems to be one of the few large-scale meme-type things that has actually worked around the web design blogosphere.

Damn, you have good taste in music. I actually am a huge fan of all 5 of your important songs. Anyways, just thought I'd let you know.
Good luck w/ the job stuff and the move.
