Musical Minded Meme
Thanks Gulnaz, I appolgise for not posting this sooner as I said I would. I am an amature musicain, I have been playing guitar for over 25 years, and singing all my life. I write songs, and at one time wanted to earn my living playing music, it is one of the things I am most passionate about in life.
Total volume of music files on my computer:
Few, I still tend to throw a CD into my personal CD player when working out, or in the car, of course I try to pick one that has mostly songs I like.
The last CD I bought was:
I bought about twenty while I was in England from December to March, those included U2's latest, Keane, Athlete, Franz Ferdinand and the Killers. But most recenlty I have bought the new Coldplay single, and Beck's latest.
Songs playing right now:
I still tend to play Coldplay's Rush of Blood to the Head albumb a lot. I am also quite partial to Keane and all the bands or solo artists I mentioned above. Usually most anything Bowie, or Beatles. I love Jazz, world music, such as Indian and Brazilain, classical, what is now considered Classic Rock, Drum and Bass, Bangra, some Rap and a lot of pop music.
Five songs i listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
I have way more than 5 but I will list a few.
I'm only sleeping - The Beatles
Cosmic Dancer - T-Rex
Yellowbrick Road - Elton John
Amsterdam - Coldplay
Sonnet - The Verve
Heros - David Bowie
Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones
Bend and Break - Keane
Wires - Athlete
There are many, many more, but I will leave it there for now.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton: (I have a few more than five)
Cedia, Lorena, Ms. Laughs, Robi, Transience, Gus Greeper, Mitzzee, Mermaid, M, Nasra, Nicole, Natasha, Sk8Rn and Deem, and any other who might want to take the this up. If I forgot your name it was not intentional, I was supposed to limit this to 5 but I added a few more.

Ms Laughs, that's weird you must have been posting while I was writing.
1:00 PM
I like you...so coy!
4:56 PM
I like you too!
Strange thing about music and the mind. I remember when Valley Girl (the movie staring Nick Cage) came out in 1983. I remember waiting till the end of the movie and checking out what bands played on the soundtrack, then going out and buying most of them. I woke up with a Psychedelic Furs song in my head that debuted in that movie. I lost the album when I was living in Hollywood (Circa 1991), and I haven't heard the song for at least 10 years. How odd that I woke up with it playing in my head, so I went and bought their greatest hits today and listened to it.
5:29 PM
I so remember Valley Girl with cage.....I also remember the lingo...."gag me with a spoon", "like totally like wow"..etc.etc.etc. as for the Psychadelic Furs....LOVE 'EM..."pretty in pink"...no i know! that's me! ;)
thx for the comps!
5:38 PM

Mitzzee, you make me smile.
8:28 PM
Awesome. I love music! I'll put up my post soon!
11:40 AM
Cedia, I would love to know what your musical taste is.
1:10 PM
actually I would love to know what everyone who post on here enjoys when it comes to music.
1:11 PM
thanks for taking up the baton and it seems i did in passing it to you, you have quite a few ladies ready to take it on. :)
you are a musician!!! huge respect!!!
1:54 PM
Natasha, I am adding you to the list.
Gulnaz, thank you for posting it. I didnt feel as excited about some of the other ones going around.
2:17 PM
ahhh.. I didn't catch the first paragraph.. was it there before??
I've always wanted to play guitar. One day, I'll play Metallica acoustic.
6:12 PM
Cedia, yes, that paragraph was there. i would be happy to teach you if your bf wouldnt mind.
7:31 PM
I'd really love to learn. I don't even know what kind of guitar to start out with.
7:34 PM
Oh a tip, this is what my blog is supposed to be about. You could start with a classical guitar because the strings are softer on your fingers than steel however, the neck is wider and the strings are usually higher from the fretboard which means you have to press harder.
An electric guitar might be the easiest to learn on, because you do not have to have as much strength in your hands/fingers when you are starting out.
8:01 PM
ahhh.. good tip. Thank you.
So your blog was supposed to be about that?? I think even a few here and there would be spectacular!
That's how you mingled with some of those rockers. That's awesome.
8:04 PM
Well, it was supposed to give "tips" but I also have tidbits in my title which covers more or less everything.
I told you, I would tell you the story, in time.
8:55 PM
wow! did i ever tell you that i find musicians hot? not that i'm soliciting you or anything.
oh, wait.
maybe i am.
heeeee.
i'm so naughty, sorry. i'm sorta hungover.
9:39 PM
Don't mind me, just a lil' impatient.
Wow.. transience.. your avatar animation scared me.... hmm.. kind of cool though...
9:58 PM
Thanks Transience!
Yeah, that is what caught my eye, her animation. I will email it to you ~C~.
10:06 PM
i know i have great taste.. i think you're pretty damn dishy!
6:22 AM
Natasha, you are a little cuckoo!!
Mr. Laughs, thanks very much.
1:40 PM
Hey, Natasha! I'm here. Is it too late??
2:58 PM
er....sorry i'm late...:(
I tend to get muddled when it comes to music preferences but I'll do me best an hopefully soon. I feel honoured to have the baton passed on by a great guitarist!!! Thanks
3:02 PM
Oh no! I just did my very first meme ever and it was terrifying. Now you want me to do another? I don't know why, but these memes make me feel really vulnerable for some reason. Okay, well, I'll do my best. It may take me a day or two to get it together. But thanks for thinking of me. ;-)
3:03 PM
Hey, I tried to right click to copy your meme questions and my computer said it was disabled. Very cool way to protect your copyright (though hard for memes, but who cares). Anyway, how did you do that? Brilliant. I would love to do the same for my blog.
3:06 PM
Hi Cedia, what are you up to today?
Hi Nicole, dont worry take all the time you need.
Sk8r, You can highlight then use the edit function in your browser to copy, i just disabled the right click. I will show you how soon.
3:10 PM
sk8rn, there was a loophole, but i have fixed, it so the blog is totally secure. i have posted the first hack on here, the second one will be coming shortly, in the meantime i will email the meme to you or anyone else who would like it.
12:37 AM
So Natasha, you dont talk to me on here any more?
1:19 AM
Well, that was what was so cool about what happened. When i tried to highlight your post to copy it to do the meme, i got an error message that the right click had been disabled on your blog. Did you not do that intentionally?
5:01 PM
Well, you liked it at least. It has caused some wild banter in the meantime.
6:37 PM
Franz Ferdinand is GREAT. I can't live without Miles Davis' kind of blue or joni mitchell's Blue.
12:49 PM
I love Miles Davis and lots of other greats like Billy Holliday, Ella, Frank, Django Rienhardt etc.
10:37 PM
And Nina Simone, Charlie Parker's latin jazz cd.
7:11 AM
Yes, very cool!
