Meme of the day via Aurblog.
Total volume of music files on my computer: 15.5 GB.
The last CD I bought was: Bloc Party, Silent Alarm.
Song playing right now: Knocking on Heavens Door, Bob Dylan.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
1. Hysteria, Muse
2. The Song Is You, Jimmy Giuffre
3. Looking For Somebody, Fleetwood Mac
4. Sonata No.1 in G minor, Johann Sebastian Bach
5. Ball and Biscuit, The White Stripes
(That's not totally representative - some of these are relatively recent acquisitions, so naturally I'm listening to them a lot recently, according to iTunes. Old favorites are under represented. But there's no way I can pick five favorites, so it's as good a five as any.)
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
1. Andy
2. Darren
3. El Presidente
4. Mum
5. Michael
e-chain letter, tut

"Meme", according to Wikipedia, - "In casual use, the term meme often refers to any piece of information passed from one mind to another. This usage more closely resembles the analogy of "language as a virus" than Dawkins' analogy of memes as replicating units."
You are the propogator of a virus, Simon, Hang your head in shame.
