Music thingy
Okay, Steve passed me the baton for this music thing, and I have nothing else to write about, so here goes:
Total volume of music on your computer: well, my mp3 folder has 1,671 tracks right now, a total of 6.56 GB.
Last CD I bought: I don't buy that many CDs. Last one I remember is A Perfect Circle's Thirteenth Step.
Song playing at the moment: "Could You Be the One" by Husker Du.
I admired whomever it was the last time a stick was going around who pared the tree by not passing it (sadly, can't remember who, but it was someone on that blogroll over there). Thus, I'm not going to pass the baton. I know it'll get to everyone eventually anyway...
While I'm talking about music, I must highly recommend Mezmerize, the new System of a Down record (part 1 of a double album, with the second disc coming out in fall). You have to like brutal, extreme music to like this, but it's just incredible work. System of a Down is like putting the Dead Kennedys, Tool, Frank Zappa, and an Armenian folk singer in a blender on the highest setting. "BYOB" has been all over the radio and is pretty indicative of the craziness of the songs. System of a Down and Tool are really the only two bands you need to take out of alternametal. I highly recommend Mezmerize, which is where SoaD breaks completely free of those alt metal cliches.

Do you have A Perfect Circle's eMotive? It's mostly cover tunes but revisited in a strange way. My favorites are the rewrite of Lennon's imagine; Peace, Love, and Understanding; and Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drum. It's pretty cool how the CD developed into an anti-war concept album.
I don't have eMotive, but I have listened to it. I especially like "Imagine," "The Fiddle and the Drum," and "Passive."
