spacedye_vest. Respect to the original version going around, I uploaded the songs as well.
(1.) Total volume of music files on my computer?
Oops - I forgot to check that one. No idea. Not too much, anyway.
(2.) The last CD I bought was...
Er. Like, with money? It should be The Clash's London Calling... I think.
(3a) The last song I listened to before writing this was...
Errr- the one that goes "Whatever you want - tutu tutu - whatever you need - tutu tutu - whatever you nana nana nana nana na". No, I don't quite know the lyrics, and I don't remember the author/title either. Could you tell? And help me out? I listened to it this morning at the bar, it got stuck, and I forgot to ask Giorgio what it was. You know, it's one of the songs that you happen to listen to endless times and (at least in my case) never learn the name of.
(3b) Song playing right now:
Willy de Ville - Demasiado Corazon. This one should be familiar to anyone who ever saw Zelig. (The tv comic show, I mean.)
(4.) Five songs I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me:
I hate the questions like these. Choosing is too hard! I'll end up leaving out important ones! But, well, at least I can try. Don't ask me to go in order, too, that would be downright cruel.
1. Aerosmith - Falling in love (Is hard on the knees)
As Ni excellently phrased it, "in my mind it marks the moment when I started to really pick my music instead of just listening whatever everyone else was listening". Yes, I did copy and paste. But it's true, as soon as I heard it on the radio, it was Love at first hearing.
2. Skunk Anansie - Charlie Big Potato
But really, I could cite any song by SA. They marked a big phase in my "musical education". This song in particular is tied to a particular party, in high school, which I still remember very fondly.
3. Marlene Kuntz - Una Canzone Arresa
Other group that marked a really big phase in my musical upbringing. The one I really wanted to post was another, but I have it only on a tape. I should get around to ask the friends who have them on CDs. (Beware if I do, because then you'll find yourselves with armfuls of MK songs.)
4. Manic Street Preachers - Prologue to History
I was so very doubtful about which one of theirs I should choose. Getting anywhere near The Holy Bible would have meant uploading the whole album. (I mean it.) (I still can, if you want.) So, I wrote this because it's the first I everlistened to (the very first was "The everlasting") truly liked. Ni, goddess that she is, sent it to me, and it sent me head over heels. You should have seen me, when I was listening to it. "Crazy monkey" in the truest sense of the term.
5. Antonio Carlos Jobim - Garota de Ipanema
I know this will sound strange, but I'm trying to post a song that has to cover a whole period of time. Toquinho, Jobim, Joao Gilberto - I practically grew up listening to them, because of Dad's passion. And then there's Sonny Rollins, and Miles Devis. Or Michel Petrucciani. (I was besotted with him, at - twelve. Or thirteen, can't remember.) For instance, "Insensatez" was the first song that Dad tried to get me to learn to play with the guitar, and I can still sing the first lines, even if I haven't heard it in years. (The second - and last - was "Jeux interdits".) This is not to say that I'm an expert, though. Most of the times I can recognize the opening notes to a song of theirs, but the most I can say is "Wait! I know this one!" and stop. :P
(5.) Which 5 people are you passing this baton to, and why?
Hmm, let's see. The list is short... many people seem to have already done this.
joeru, because I WANT her to do it, and she will. DID YOU HEAR ME THERE?
paddo, same applies.
wild_boys, because I haven't seen you doing it, and don't think you're getting off that easily. Don't try to distract me by remarking about double entendres, either. Trust me, it won't work.
_hey_sailor, same as above.
dungeons_master, look at any of the reasons above, which are actually two, and both of them variations on the same theme.

no subject
on 2005-04-01 09:10 am (UTC)Well, it's nothing actually remarkable. Pretty lame, in fact: we (all my class) were at a classmate's place, maybe for a birthday. A friend and I put on that song and started singing it. Loudly. And, well, Skin's voice reaches quite high pitches. Which ours didn't. Well, that brought us to laugh. (With "Good things don't always come to you" we had more luck. :P)

on 2005-04-02 09:35 am (UTC)Also, I went to work yesterday & downloaded your songs, and Aerosmith, of course, ROCK.
And I have never heard that Manics song because the last album I bought was Everything Must Go, and beyond that I've heard most of This is My Truth... and yeah. Nice one.
And I really, really liked Una Canzone Arresa, and listened to it over and over again.
So thank you :)

Eeeeee! I lighted up like a christmas tree at that. I'd be more than happy to upload more of their songs, if you-re curious! :D

And yeah, anytime you like. 'Course :)
That was a great song. But don't rush! One day I will have speakers at home again.... :D

on 2005-04-05 12:05 pm (UTC)Agh, I had forgot about the speakers... don't you have headphones to use in replacement, in the meanwhile? Going without music can be evil.

on 2005-04-04 02:56 pm (UTC)By the way, the song you were listening to is 'Whatever you want' by Quo Status (or Status Quo, whatever fits the mood of winmx) and you can find the lyrics here: http://www.lyrics007.com/Quo%20Status%20Lyrics/Whatever%20You%20Want%20Lyrics.html .
You SURELY remember that it was used for a spot. For DIAPERS. Don't you?
