Daddy gots an iPod now

Subtitled: Answering a Meme Challenge

BST asked for people to follow up, so I'll play along.

Here goes:

Q: Total volume of music files on my computer:

936. Daddy gots a new iPod. Actually, it's a refurbished Rio Carbon, 20% more memory for 20% less money. And it's just as cute-n-shiny.

Q: The last CD I bought:

The last CD I'll ever buy, I wager, was something called "A Trip In Trance - Vol. 3", featuring mixes by German wunderkind Leather Angel and British mixmaster Graham Nil. That doesn't sound very masculine, huh? Well, how 'bout I tell you I lied, that I really bought that Lee Greenwood CD, the one with the America song on it, from a Triple J truck stop?

Q: Song playing now:

"Cigarro", by System of a Down. Or, at least, that's the one that keeps playing in my head. They're Armenian. Did you know that there was a Armenian Genocide in the early 1900's, where over 1 million Armenian Christians were annihilated by mostly Turkish Muslims? I guess "System of a Down" is their revenge on the rest of humanity.

Q: Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

"Silver and Gold", Burt Ives
"Big Time", Peter Gabriel
"Suite Madame Blue", Styx
"Spin the Bottle", Juliana Hatfield (five...minutes...in the closet...with yooou)
"Boogie Oogie Oogie", A Taste of Honey

BONUS:

"Mississippi Queen", not by Mountain, mind you, but by Ozzy. Truly, dreadful.
