<\/a><\/p>\n

The CD purge continues<\/p>\n

Jerry passed the torch<\/a>. Here’s the stuff.<\/p>\n

Music Questionnaire:<\/p>\n

1. What is the total amount of music files on your computer?<\/p>\n

41.7 GB at the moment. This is not only everything I’ve checked out from Amoeba since I started in June, but it’s also the accumulated tunage I’ve ripped from the CD’s I’m hoping to get rid of<\/a>. According to the software I got with my Rio Carbon, that includes music from more than five hundred albums and 5800 tracks. I rip CD’s at 224kps using CDEX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if I count iTunes, we can add another 4G. I’ve had to re-acquire some of the cool music I’ve purchased through iTunes because I can’t bear the high compression artifacts in their “m4p” format.<\/p>\n

2. The CD you last bought is:<\/p>\n

I’ve purchased a cd single of Fine Day<\/em> by Kristy Kawkshaw (RealAudio<\/a> | mp3<\/a>) through ebay, just so I could get my hands on that James Holden remix. (Remember him?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?<\/p>\n

Freddie’s Dead by Curtis Mayfield, from the deluxe Anniversary edition of the Superfly soundtrack.<\/p>\n

4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:<\/p>\n

Off the top of my head…<\/p>\n

Silverfuck by The Smashing Pumpkins. An epic scorcher.<\/p>\n

Neverland by Marillion. It’s a perfect close to their fine new album.<\/p>\n

Starship Trooper by Yes. I’ve been on yet another Yes<\/a> kick lately and have been systematically digging through my various DVD’s in search of live versions. My favorite live track by any band ever.<\/p>\n

Napoleon by Ani DiFranco, because we recently had a conversation about her in the break room at Amoeba and I declared it to be my favorite DiFranco tune.<\/p>\n

Trouble Sleeping by The Perishers, because I’ve got to get my enjoyment out of them now before they get as popular as Snow Patrol.<\/p>\n

5. Who are you going to pass this stick to? (3 persons) and why?<\/p>\n

Probably no one, but if I do, I’ll let y’all know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
