Back, with a meme
Sep. 1st, 2014 08:38 pmAnd yes, it has been almost a year since I last posted. I may expand on this later, but figured I'd start with something low-energy and work my way up to last year's Yuletide, what else I've been doing and the tiny handful of books I've managed to read.
You can tell a lot about a person from their music. Hit shuffle on your iPod, MP3 Player, etc. and put the first 10 songs! One rule, no skipping! Tag 10 people and pass it on!
First five from the laptop, second five from my iPhone.
At least we tried – Gold Motel
Break – The Cinematics
Snow desert – Speechless Project
Bring him home – Les Misérables, Broadway original cast
The only living boy in New York – Simon and Garfunkel
Jump through the fire – Oysterband
On the bus mall – The Decemberists
The land of do what you're told – Chumbawumba
Ordinary girl - Alison Moyet
Cherry tree – The National
What you can actually tell from this is that I get a lot of music off the internet - only one of these songs, On the bus mall, was ripped from an actual CD. On the other hand, if I like what I hear, I'll buy albums rather than singles - iTunes is responsible for Gold Motel, Oysterband, The Decemberists, and The National, and I have multiple albums for all bar Gold Motel. I also have bought Chumbawumba albums, but not with this song on them. The Les Misérables was one of those late night purchases when I realised I was never going to track down which box my CDs were in and, like the CDs, it is still not the version in my head (my mother taped this off the radio in the dim, distant past, and I don't know which version it was, but it's the one I'm stuck with).
I am also somewhat miffed that this appears to be the only time I've put my iPhone on shuffle when it hasn't played at least one Michel Thomas Italian for Beginners track, as I have 8 CDs worth on there and they always show up when I actually want music.
(hi!)
