Today (well, tonight) Matt Thomas apparently felt like tossing me a musical baton, and so he did. As one of his two “most loyal readers,” I faithfully answer the questions here:

Total volume of music files on my computer:

1.4 GB. I hadn’t heard of this “music” thing before I obtained my iPod 3 months ago.

The last CD I bought was:

Star Wars Episode III Soundtrack. I only buy CDs for sentimental value.

Song playing right now:

Be Yourself by Audioslave.

Five songs I listen to a lot/mean a lot to me:

An extremely truncated list.

• Evil by Interpol. I have a few other songs by ‘em that I enjoy quite a lot.
• Half-Life 2 Song #23. Yes, it’s music from the game. It’s only 43 seconds long, but it’s beautiful.
• Unwell by Matchbox Twenty. I’ve listened to this for 3 years now. Never gets old.
• Do You Realize? by The Flaming Lips. Fight Test is also good.
• Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. Their first (ever) few songs also mean a lot to me.

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:

Boy, this is hard. I hardly “know” anyone online…

• Dunstan Orchard – Quite an extraordinary chap who’s quite obsessed with his extraordinary puppies. Programmer + designer = Dunstan.
• Eris Free – Well, she uses Textpattern…
• The Man in Blue – Otherwise known as Cameron Adams, The Man writes a very interesting post now and then on design, trends, and interactivity.
• Joseph Pearson – Joseph’s an interesting fellow—I’ve never quite understood any of his recent posts, but they do make me stop and think.
• Alicson – I must say she’s the most fervent admirer of my site, though I’ve never figured out why. Alicson also manages a few other sites.
