When Did Memes Become Cool Again?

So, I got hit up to do this Musical Baton thingy. Thanks to Donaville and Omar.

Total volume on music files on my computer:
8.80 GB. I don’t rip all my CDs to my hard drive, though. Considering my laptop’s hard drive is a measly 40 gigs, 8.80 just for music is a lot, I think.

The last CD I bought was:
Jump, Little Children – Vertigo. It’s really mellow, and at times sounds a lot like Jeff Buckley. One of my favorite songs of all time is ‘Cathedrals,’ which is from their first album. I hear they changed their name to Jump. Personally, I don’t think they’ll have much success without the Little Children.

Song playing right now:
‘Settle for Satin’ by Alkaline Trio (from Crimson)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

1. ‘Everybody’s Changing,’ Keane
   (It reminds me of my study abroad adventures in Scotland)


2. ‘You’re So Last Summer,’ Taking Back Sunday
   (The first TBS song I heard; I was a junior in high school and they’ve been my favorite band ever since)


3. ‘Cannonball,’ Damien Rice
   (I thought this song was so beautiful the first time I heard it, and I still do)


4. ‘Tonight, Tonight,’ The Smashing Pumpkins
   (Junior high flashback!)


5. ‘Hands Down,’ Dashboard Confessional
   (I don’t really like Dashboard anymore, but I think I’ll always like this song)

Five people to whom I am passing the baton:

1. Richie because he hooked me up with mp3 channels on IRC


2. Marianne because she has good taste in music


3. Terrence because he knows all the good Canadian bands


4. Jess because she has a shiny new domain just waiting for a cheap but fun music survey


5. Ari because she’s Ari

Hey, that was actually kind of fun. I guess memes aren’t as retarded as their name suggests.
