Music Meme

I said I was going to do this, right? So let's see...

Total Volume of Music Files on My Computer: Hm, they're scattered around a bit, but it appears to be around 1.2 GB. Which is a pretty amazing uptick from, say, a month ago.

Last CD I Bought: If we're talking "physically bought in an actual store," then it would be a used copy of the Itzhak Perlman/Pinchas Zukerman recording of the Bach D Minor Double Concerto, because I needed the 2nd movement to play at my dad's funeral, and I'd become unhappy with my old Isaac Stern/whoever version. (Mr. P. hates Stern's playing with a fiery passion, and he has won me over to his way of thinking.)

Last Music I Listened to Before Doing This Meme: Silly Sisters No More to the Dance, while working out at the gym.

Five Songs I Listened to a Lot This Week:
6'1", Liz Phair, an old favorite with marvelous energizing powers.
Pink Moon, Nick Drake, soundtrack to a vid I'll never make.
Quitting Time, The Roches, for story-pondering purposes.
1952 Vincent Black Lightning, Richard Thompson, because I just love this song.
Big Dipper, Cracker, which Mr. P. of all people sent to me out of the blue, saying "This is such a cool song, " and it is, wistful and melancholy.

And let's see, who can I tag with this who hasn't done it already . . . [livejournal.com profile] the_shoshanna, who needs a distraction from The Peeing Cat, [livejournal.com profile] namastenancy, who needs distraction from crazymaking politics, [livejournal.com profile] tazlet, who's recovering from surgery and probably doesn't need the aggro but could use distraction, [livejournal.com profile] eliade, who may have been tagged already, I can't remember, but was last seen trapped in a loveless cubicle of boredom and needs distraction, and [livejournal.com profile] flambeau who sent me lovely lovely music and probably doesn't need distraction of any kind but I'd love to know what she's listening to right now.

Quitting Time is among my super all time favorite songs *ever* ([livejournal.com profile] sisterone and I love to harmonize on the chorus, especially "Honk all the moon down the ocean/your clothes can fit you loose"), and Vincent Black Lightening is up there too!

Pink Moon, Nick Drake

I don't suppose it'd be possible for you to send that to me? I have lots of stuff to trade in return (though nothing really rare or unusual)...

OK, I'm going to make my initial try at yousendit, to your LJ address -- let me know if it doesn't come through, though.

Got it! Thanks!

Cracker!

Yay! One of my all-time favorite bands! I've even had the good fortune to see them play live. :-)

I've never heard anything else by them, but I love this song, so clearly I'll have to check them out!

I LOVE that Richard Thompson song. Mary Lou Lord did a really amazing cover of it a few years back -- I should dig that up and send it to you.
