1. Total volume of music files on my computer?
280 MB. I have at least five times that on my computer at work. We used to have a T1 line there, but now we don't. And downloading music from file sharing is in "extreme violation" of company policy. Now that I've got cable at home, there are no good free, or even cheap, places to download lots of music. I used to get mostly rare songs, so I've got some interesting stuff.

2. The last CD I bought was:
The latest U2 CD? A Bowie and a Peter Gabriel DVD? Laurie Anderson and George Harrison CDs. Those were gifts for people. The last CDs I got were, Amy Ray - Stag, KC - Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair, U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb for Christmas. Bought for myself? Shortly before Christmas, I got some CDs from i, including Anoraknophobia by Marillion, and From the Caves of the Iron Mountain by Gorn, Levin and Marotta.

3. The last song I listened to before writing this was:
I had L.A. Woman in last night, so it would be "Riders on the Storm."

4. Song playing right now: none. Music doesn't usually get turned on in the mornings.

5/6. Five songs/albums I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me:
I don't really listen to anything a lot. I deliberately rotate. I have favorite albums and favorite songs, but nothing that really means a lot to me.

My favorite records are Stand Up by Jethro Tull, Hallowed Ground, by Violent Femmes, The Bends by Radiohead... uh... Second tier would include Quadrophenia, probably some U2 including War. L.A. Woman, Security, Workbook, Ted Nugent, Animals, Wish You Were Here, Greetings from Asbury park, N.J. ...

My favorite songs are much harder to list. "God" by Tori Amos, "Starseed" by Our Lady Peace, "Carolyn's Fingers" by the Cocteau Twins, "Begin the Begin" by R.E.M., "Fugitive" by Indigo Girls, "Shelter from the Storm" by Bob Dylan... *shrug*
