thanks to anuar, i have another list. i first noted this on pick yin‘s. oh well, jump on the bandwagon one and all!

1. What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
not a lot, just a measly 2.5G. i actually have less than 1G left on my notebook’s HDD. need to get an external one (not in the market for an actual desktop as of yet).

2. The CD you last bought?
exile on main street by the rolling stones. i already have it on vinyl, but i just needed to listen to it in the car.

3. What was the last song you listened to before reading this message?
mahadewi by padi. a great band. where else can you hear a rock song with a buloh inn bossanova interlude followed by a radiohead-esque guitar lick.

4. Write down five songs that you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
i don’t have a particular top 5 as like the proverbial lalang, it depends on what phase i am in, music-wise. at the moment, i am in the ‘revisiting’ phase. one of them songs would definitely have to be love me butch’s the protector. i just dig the way shahrul thrashes the tambourine whilst singing the song live. next is pearl jam‘s do the evolution. now, that’s a rocking tune on par with evenflow. i’ve jammed that song once or twice but never played it live. the fact i know i can go berserk with my guitar playing that song deserves a top five slot. man of the hour is another pearl jam ditty, from the big fish soundtrack. it reminds me of the importance of family, which i’m sure those of you who watched the film would understand. m. nasir’s sesat di kuala lumpur from the film kembara seniman jalanan is another favourite, a poignant tune about being alone in a large city and this was one of the first songs that i learnt to strum and sing along with. and finally, fleetwood mac’s need your love so bad: that’ll be the song where i will have my first dance with my wife on my wedding day, whenever that’ll be (the neon et al., get ready ya?).

5. Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
the neon*, due to the fact he is an elitist blues connoisseur, jimmy cornell, for his eclectic taste in tunes, and pinkfrog, for being ratu download sedunia.

*despite being a non-blogger, he still has a guest slot in this one!
