I’ve got it, I’ve got it …

Posted on May 18, 2005November 26, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

Thank you to Sha for passing me the musical baton. I shall try my best to hold tight (and yes, this is somewhat redundant as it nearly exactly mirros what I have on Wiseacre).

For those of you who don’t know what it is; I believe it was started by Keegan Jones at The Big Noob (aka; Neubix Studio), and has since been passed rapidly throughout the “blogosphere”. Just follow the format (overall); and learn about people and music (and how they are often inexorably intertwined)

Total volume of music files on my computer: 26.53 GB

The last CD I bought was:
“Funeral” by The Arcade Fire
(about 4 months ago — we’re buying/selling a house; no time to buy other things, that and there is no money to buy other things)

Song playing right now:
Grace Under Pressure – Elbow (Cast of Thousands)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
[1] : Breathless – Adorable (Against Perfection)
a song that was played, acoustically, at our wedding by Jon Taylor — no, not Duran Duran Jon Taylor

[2] : Umbrella – The Innocence Mission (Umbrella)
beautiful song about God’s grace and love for us, despite our failings, shortcomings and fear … Latter Days by Over the Rhine is close behind this, in how it moves me emotionally …

[3] : Lull – Radiohead (Karma Police CD1 Import)
Perfect summary of the genre they started, and then left after OK Computer — which bands today are still catching onto

[4] : Have you Forgotten – Red House Painters (Songs for a Blue Guitar)
I first heard this song, and started to weep. Then I played it for Sonya, now its one of our more treasured songs to listen to. Heart-breaking

[5] : Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) – The Arcade Fire (Funeral)
A child-like reflection upon love — whenever I hear this song I want to play and sing along

Five/Four people to whom I’m passing the baton: ugh, this is tough, as most have raced already I’ve already passed via Wiseacre
Sonya (aka – the wifey)
Dan Todd
Drew Smith
