Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

The Wonderful Baton

Posted in Music, Memes by Elliott Back on May 19th, 2005.

Since Zeldman and I cannot possible exist in the same connected component of the web, I will light a new Baton from the darkness:

Total volume of music files on my computer:

6.69 GB of sorted music in the Music Folder, 4GB of music on the MP3 player, and 5.44GB of music videos lying around. That’s 16.13GB going to waste…, or 128 mp3s, 3146 wmas, for a total of 258.1 hours of music.

Last CD I bought was…

The College Dropout by Kanye West. I was in NYC, and although I never buy music, it was on sale and I’d heard oh-so-much about it. It turns out it’s a really great album, although when I heard some live tracks on the new Napster by Kanye, I wasn’t too impressed at his vocal talent. I guess his producing skills make up for it.

Song playing right now:

Alizeé, La isla bonita, a cover of a Madonna song by a cute girl from France.

Five songs I listen to a lot these days:

  1. Your girl, by Mariah Carey
  2. El Talisman, por Rosana
  3. Rub my back, by LL Cool J
  4. Maybe Maybe Not by BoA
  5. Feeling good by Michael Bublé

And the baton moves to…

    Thank you for the attention! I had just linked to you earlier today, fyi. I actually just did this meme on my music blog. I’ll refer you there, although there’s now a link on my main site too.

    Awesome! I’ve linked to you, which I should have done some while ago, since I’m an avid but shy reader of yours. Elisa accepted her baton, as well, (here)! Now I just need Scoble, Google, and Denis.

    The music baton
    Meme — Meme spread fast. I’d love to follow suit on Eliott Bäck’s music baton. Unfortunately… I must be RIAA’s worst nightmare.

    For some reason, it is the exeption when I can name a song, a movie, let alone an artist. As…
