Snap-Back: The Musical Baton Continues My buddy Seth sent me this and I am now, in a very chain-letteresque way, responding. It's called the musical baton. You can check out his answers at his blog, and you can see my answers below.

Total volume of music files on my computer:
4334 songs, 13:08:16:25 total time, 21.94 GB (iTunes)

Last CD I bought was...
Bruce Springsteen, "Devils and Dust" and Ben Folds, "Songs For Silverman" -- both actual CDs.
Phish - Live, 11/30/94 - Olympia, Washington -- downloaded from livephish.com

The Boss is slowly but surely turning into Dylan and I like it. The title track on this record is pure "Darkness on the Edge of Town" Bruce. Yearning, lamenting and failing. But this time, it's about the war on terror.

Ben Folds continues to slay me. AFter the 3rd listen, this record infects you. "Trusted" is especially tasty.

To me, Phish = Summer. This show is from an amazing run of live shows that occurred during 94-95. There is a 13:25 minute version of "Fly Famous Mockingbird" that includes the "Vibration of Life." If you don't know what that means, listen to it and you will.

Song playing right now:
"Run Like an Antelope" by Phish (from the aforementioned 11/30/94 show.)

The only lyrics to this 10-minute, mostly instrumental jam are thus:
"Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul/you've got to run like an antelope, out of control."
Told you it was summer to me.

Five songs I listen to a lot these days:

"Hello Caller" by Matt Wilson (formerly of Trip Shakespeare)
"All You Need is Love" by the Fabs
"Pigeons" by Widespread Panic
"Life is White" by Big Star
"Jesus, etc." by Wilco

What do I love about music?
Well, for starters, everything. (Cameron Crowe wrote that and Russell from Stillwater said it. Just so you know.)  ¶ 3:54 PM
