Passing the musical baton

[Erik](http://www.nslog.com) [has passed me](http://nslog.com/archives/2005/05/17/passing_the_musical_baton.php) the “musical baton” that’s going around, so here goes.

**Total size of music files on my computer:** 10.27 GB

**The last CD I bought was:** I asked Erik if this meant last physical CD or last full album download (legal, of course). He didn’t know, so I’ll give both answers:

* Last “real” CD purchased: “Rent (1996 Original Broadway Cast)” (Amazon link, not found on iTMS)
* Last complete downloaded album (had to scroll down a bit in “Purchased Music” to find it): [“The Spirit Room” by Michelle Branch](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1093087)

**Song playing right now in iTunes:** Judi is listening to [“Borrowed Angels”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=53102136&selectedItemId=53102209) by [Kristin Chenoweth](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=53102136&selectedItemId=53102209) from the album [“As I Am”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=53102136) (2005). Bought it earlier this evening. $5.91 left in the gift certificate [Eric](http://www.9to5andotherwise.com) got me for Mother’s Day. Considering going for the new [Cold Play](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPreorder?id=63212508) album pre-order with bonus songs. Maybe.

**Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me.** Yes, my music tastes are mostly mellow…drives Eric nuts. I have a lot of rock in my collection, mostly classic stuff, but these are the ones that touch me and therefore get a lot of play:

* [Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5132693&selectedItemId=5132645) by [Green Day](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5132693&selectedItemId=5132645) from [“Nimrod”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5132693&selectedItemId=5132645)
* [Haven't We Been Here Before?](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=94143&selectedItemId=94139) by [Styx](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=94143&selectedItemId=94139) from [“Kilroy Was Here”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=94143&selectedItemId=94139)
* [Close Your Eyes by Christophe Beck from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Album”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00001R3O1/momathomedesi-20) (via Amazon)
* [Dance with My Father](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1536417&selectedItemId=1505208) by [Luther Vandross](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1536417&selectedItemId=1505208) from [“Dance with My Father”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1536417&selectedItemId=1505208) (like, duh!)
* [On My Own](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2955411&selectedItemId=2955374) by [Frances Ruffelle](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2955411&selectedItemId=2955374) from [“Les Miserables (Original Broadway Cast)”](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2955411&selectedItemId=2955374)
