Another Music Meme

Well, since Carnaby Fudge throws the gauntlet my way I guess I'd better come up with something...

1) How much music do I have?

I probably have about 75 CDs, most of them not very new as there isn't much on the radio these days I'd pay money for. Usually I just stream music at work or listen to the radio at home. To be honest though, music isn't much of a factor in my life these days.

2) What was the last CD I bought?

A couple months ago I picked up the Emerson, Lake and Palmer Greatist Hits or whatever it's called. Mostly I bought it because I couldn't get their version of Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copeland out of my mind.

3) What am I listening to right now?

Nada. I've got the insufferable Chris Matthews Show on in the background as I put up these posts.

4) Five songs I listen to that mean a lot to me?

None, or too many. Instead I'll tell you that I keep going back and listening to albums by Jimi Hendrix, the later years of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, the first four Led Zeppelins, in all cases because I wish I could play guitar like these guys. One great Tull album, Benefit from when I first had, um, sex, and, oddly enough, a disk of Technotronic remixes that I always liked called Trip on This! The question was for five but let me add a sixth, almost anything from ZZ Top.

5) I’m passing this meme on to:

This time round I'm going to toss this one to the least suspecting,

a) Bitter Bitch,

b) American Drumslinger, and

c) Benjamin at Reasonablenut.

We'll see what these gun-totin' folks like to listen to...
