Music Relay

Brian has passed me the baton, so here we go with my leg of the relay:

Total volume of music on your computer:
12.78 GB. 3336 songs.

The last album you purchased was:
"O" - Damien Rice

Song playing right now:

So Easy - Royksopp 

Five songs you’ve been listening to a lot recently, from several genres:

P.I.M.P. - Fifty Cent

I've had a few parties lately and I'm not sure how this crept into my party shuffle so often on iTunes but hey, it's up there.  It also used to be the ringtone for my fiancee on my cellphone since she was the one who introduced me to 50 cent originally.

Green Eyes - Coldplay

Despite my inability to get presale tickets, I still love listening to them.  I saw them at the Reading Leeds festival the year before I left for America and then at a small venue called the Metro with a couple of hundred people in Chicago.

Come - The Kleptones

Not commercially available this mashup team really rocks.  The first album I heard was "A night at the hip hopera" and subsequently "From Detroit to J.A.".  Brilliant.

Everybody's Changing - Keane

Just saw these guys for the second time in 3 months here in Chicago.  The Riviera venue was better musically but the Aragon ballroom was crazy because it looks like a castle!  The performance was not as good though and a little flat despite the presence of the cameras recording the event for the DVD.

Old Love - Eric Clapton

I've been learning a ton of old songs in guitar class and this is my favorite so far.  The chords are a little more novel than the usual tripe and the sound is really funky.

Five people to whom you’re passing the baton:

Bugger. Five bloggers who may take the baton from me who haven't already done this:

Cameron Childress, because he knows the way to San Jose. (well, San Diego but I don't know any songs about SD). 

Dean Saxe, because he came to visit Chicago recently. 

Sean Corfield, for his sagely words of advice in response to my request for reading material for my new position as Senior Architect. 

Robert Occhialini, for hosting Melissa and I this weekend as we float in to Atlanta to celebrate Mark's wedding.

Spike, for pushing CFEclipse onto my desktop and increasing my productivity. 

Bugger again.  Just saw that Sean and Spike already did this. Guess I'll leave it at three.

  1. Nice one Adam. P.I.M.P. is my favorite 50 song. Too bad his new album sucks.
