iTunes Meme
January 9th, 2006
I still haven’t rebuilt my iTunes library since the major hard drive failure during the summer (hey kids—remember to backup!), so my digital music collection isn’t as extensive as it used to be. Here are some hilights from the music I’m currently listening to, to go along with the iTunes Meme many bloggers are posting about right now.

While not part of iTunes, I’m listening to various Rob Zombie CDs in my discman for the walk back and forth from work. No iPod for me—I’m so retro.

That’s just bizarre.
Whilst I’m not listening to that stuff now, it’s like a snapshot of my listening tastes 10 years ago. I’m mainly speaking of the most recent and most played songs (are the Flaming Lips 10 years old?). I’ve gone all indie now, Interpol and Electrelane holding top honours…
I dig(g) these memes – gives you a connection to others without so much as even speaking…
Great idea, err meme.
Oh man, Skinny Puppy that takes me back. I saw Kevin’s prior band Images in Vogue open up for Duran Duran in Seattle/1984. Wow time flies.
Anyhow here’s my list
