...But surveys always suck
A musico survey, courtesy of Kate, who has passed the mic to me.
What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Only 49 in Itunes, and an album or two that was burned via Toast (a fab program). Call us old-fashioned, but we like the feel of CDs, and the sense of "playing" something that's not a "file".
The CD you last bought is?
Hit up Cheapo last week and procured 4 albums for the Planetarium office: the new Low album, The Great Destroyer, which is actually a very good record- we're curious to see what the hip-critic lemmings decide they think of it, collectively; Die Electric's Push/Pull, which is rock and roll in the great American tradition of "rock and roll"; PJ Harvey's Dance Hall at Louse Point, picked up upon a certain bass player from Die Electric's insistence that it was her best release; and a new copy of Pavement's Wowee Zowee to replace the worn-out one. Which, by the way, also happens to be Planetarium's favorite album of theirs.
What is the song you last listened to?
"Since You've Been Gone", by Kelly Clarkson, which is fucking genius. They should hand out awards for songs like this. Oh, wait, they do. Anyways, it's phenomenal- what Avril Lavigne wishes she could do.
Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
-Metric's "Combat Baby". File under: what all great rock songs should aspire to be like. A perfectly constructed song.
-Britney Spears' "Toxic". The best song of last year. Also, the first and likely last time we will agree with Keith Harris about anything.
-Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run". Duh.
-Low's "Little Argument With Myself". Quick, grab that beauty before it evaporates again.
-Idlewild's "Roseability". We're all always teenagers. And Gertrude Stein said that's enough.
Who are you going to pass the stick to?
Ben, who sure does like baseball.
