Hitting It With a Music Baton

“Tjaard”:http://www.tjaard.nl/?p=52 handed me the music baton, so here we go.

First of all, the size of my music collection. It’s not as big as “some people”:http://www.standardbehaviour.com/articles/2005/05/18/running-around-with-a-musical-baton. As a matter of fact, it fits all on my iPod. Admittedly, I sometimes remove stuff that I won’t probably ever listen to so that it will keep fitting. I think I got around 14GB of music right now. Most of which MP3, but also some DRM AAC files from the iTunes music store.

The last CD I bought was… It has been a little while since I bought a CD, but I think it’s Diana Krall – Live in Paris.

Song playing right now… Cosmos – Pa un par

Five songs I listen to a lot/mean a lot to me… This depends so much on my mood. But anyway, from the top of my head:

  • Diana Krall – Case of You
  • Hooverphonic – Inhaler
  • Shakira – Tu
  • Massive Attack – Teardrop
  • Muse – Space Dementia

Of these the Muse song is most remarkable in the sense that I’ve only known about Muse for about a week or so and I have been playing their songs almost full-time since (together with the Cosmos songs).

The five people where this meme will go on…

  • “Bas Westerbaan”:http://blog.w-nz.com – because I want to know.
  • “Shane Bauer”:http://www.shanebauer.com – because he hasn’t posted for so long that I wonder if he’s even alive.
  • “Manuzhai”:http://www.manuzhai.nl/weblog/ – because he needs a wake-up call similar to Shane’s (although less loud).
  • “Jacob Duursma”:http://zef.cc/~jaap/ – because I honestly have no idea what his music taste is like.
  • “Matt Mecham”:http://www.mattmecham.com – because I wonder he still listens to Radiohead so much (not that that’s a bad thing)
  • I still listen to Radiohead. I'm not such a big fan of their recent material but it's still excellent and very listenable.

    I also love Muse! I love Matt's vocal range and the pure energy in their material. I started listening to them when they released "Showbiz" all those years ago.

    Other favourites include: Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol ("Run" is playing right now). ColdPlay, Travis, Athelete, Elbow and most other indie stuff.

    If there was a soundtrack to IPB, it'd include all those artists.

    Why does everyone likes Muse? I really dislikes them. Origin of Symmetry is a good album, but that's it. The rest isn't so special at all, it's just another music hype. About 10 years no one will know Muse anymore.
  • You`ll get a lot of mails and people asking the same questions about your personal music preference :-p
  • ...does that include the nasty stuff that will happen to you when you break the chain :P ?
  • Zef
    It's like the reinvention of the chain letter :)
  • I'll revive my weblog as well -- though it might take me a couple of days, currently VERY busy. Thanks, though! Kind of fun to take part in a meme like this.

    Origin of Symmetry is probably Muse best album, although Absolution, their new one, is great too. I actually own almost their whole discography. Great stuff from the U.K.
  • hahahah.

    Yes, I'm still alive. I'll post today, though, since you passed me the stick.
  • Matt Belamy is a genius.. And Origin of Symmetry is in my opinion their best album.

    Anyways, I filled mine out

  • Zef
    That's the one I got :) And Rickard: what can I say, I'm special.
  • I can recommend the album 'Origin of Symmetry' if you like muse ;) .
  • Rickard Andersson
    Massive Attack and SHAKIRA on the same list? Christ :)
