musical meme

okay, so this one is from snooze, you can see her answers here...

this one is a musical meme, which will mean a very boring response from me, since, although i like music, a lot, i don't listen to it a lot. go figure.

anyway, here goes:

Total volume of music files on my computer:
actually, i generally don't have music on the computer. the only thing i have on the computer is joe jackson's jumpin' jive because the album is out of print (or whatever you call that) and so it was the only way i could get it.

The last CD I bought was:
two at the same time actually. jeremy fisher - let it shine and buddy holly - from the original master tapes. both absolutely fabulous cds that i enjoy a great deal. and just for fun, the next cd i buy is going to be something by ridley bent

Song playing right now:
is you is or is you ain't my baby - joe jackson from jumpin' jive ('cause, well, as i was writing that was on my computer i thought, hey, that's on my computer, i want to listen to that) which, in looking for a link, i just found out might be available on cd again. wheeeeee!

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
i don't know about songs, or even albums for that matter, but i can give you artists...

ella fitzgerald (often in combo with louis armstrong)
big rude jake
black cabbage
paul simon
violent femmes

and in a past life billy joel, who still makes in on the list, but not in the top five anymore.

i'm not officially tagging anyone with this, but there are a few people who i know are very serious about their music and i'd be interested to see what they have to say. they are:
no one asked us (who snooze already tagged, and so probably he doesn't want to do it, which is cool)
st. snafu (who's on a break from blogging, apparently i'm not very good at tagging people)
kate (who doesn't actually have a blog, did i mention i'm bad at tagging people?)
