Coffee and cigs
1) What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Just checked my desktop and it's got a little over 15 gigs of music. The laptop's only got 4 gigs.
2) The CD you last bought was:
Long time since I last bought a CD. Must have been the DJ Tiesto Parade of the Athletes Music for the Athens 2004 Olympics. I got many CD gifts in the meantime, but I guess these don't count.
3) What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
James' The Shining from their "Pleased to Meet You" album.
4) Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:
Took me a few moments to compile this -- well, frankly, it took me more than a few moments as I had to squeeze only the ones with a presentable rationale in da list.
- Steely Dan's Deacon Blues: I was studying in the States when I first listened to this and I still do and it feels as great
- Martha and the Muffins' Echo Beach: epitomizes my youthful summers, sleeping under stars
- Depeche Mode's It's No Good: wakes me up by summoning any wrath there's inside me
- Cowboy Junkies' Misguided Angel: for That dawn(s) with That girl(s)
- Dot Allison's Close your Eyes: cause that's what I'm doing, while nobody takes me anywhere.
5) To whom (three people) are you going to pass this stick? And why?
First pass goes to Loxias because I'd like to see whether his choices are in any way predictable by me. Looks like we got many common legacies.
Another one for vague tourist because the pro's list I'm sure will be the wildest.
Finally, one for lessisapossibility - if Steph ever gets to read this (or Love could tell him), because I like the funny-sounding names from Finnland.

1) What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Actually about as much as dystropoppygus (a little less on the laptop), plus another 20Gigs on CDs.
2) The CD you last bought was:
Either "Hitchike: Travel girl" the single (couldn't find it on soulseek, kazaa etc), or the soundtrack of "Lost in translation". It's a long time...
3) What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
Mylo: Destroy Rock'n'Roll.
4) Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:
James: Getting away with it.
Madrugada: Electric
There's more but I can't think of them now.
Various Xarhakos/Markopoulos songs from time to time... and, guess what: Edw Lilipoupoli!
"Trexe, trexe, hliako mou lewforeio..."
5) To whom (three people) are you going to pass this stick? And why?
yk (unless he already has this), 'cause he's my "blog buddy".
tolathos@xxxx.com cause he's seriously into music stuff.
Ehm, that's it, I guess.
6) What are the Top 25 Most Played songs in your iTunes?
Sorry, I can't bother now... (I don't own an iTunes anyway)
Ayta. By the way:
a) I am not particularly interested in Finnish music (or names, for that matter). It's just that one song that I really liked...
b) Yes, I meant the username. It's funny, I thought I was the only one that still remembers (and, admittedly, from time to time listens to) Edw Lilipoupoli.
c) Come on, apart from the frappe incident, can't you seriously comment on the art thing? It's real, not computer stuff. I learnt how to mix the colors, what brushes to use, where to buy cheap canvases and all that shit... But only positive comments please, I am kind of sensitive on this issue...
You managed to use the word "synecdoche" in a blog. Whoo-hoo!
Francis, that's exactly what I was thinking. But that little word has been known to come in handy on occasion.
