I got tagged by Tara. let’s do this! This should be fun, because i’m probably gonna have to (at some point) give up a link or two so you can know just who the world half these guys are:)

Random 10:

From a random iTunes shuffle (entire library)…

1. Allen Farnham – In a Sentimental Mood
2. LaRue – He Is Lord (don’t think i’ve even heard this one!)
3. Keith Sweat – How Deep Is Your Love (talk about bringning back MEMORIES)
4. Ugly Duckling – Turn it Up
5. Sharlock Poems – Left
6. Braille – It Won’t Last (yes yes!)
7. 100 Portraits and Waterdeep – Tender Mercy (one of my top 100 songs!)
8. Da T.R.U.T.H. – Here and Noun(from an OK album…one of the not OK tracks IMO :)
9. various – White Sands – from the “Soul Fire Sound Sampler” — which i stumbled upon while trying to figure out whatever happened to Soul Fire records–one of the dopest Funk 45 labels to exist in the past few years.
10. Musiq – Solong – from “Juslisen” — not my favorite from the album–i need to remember to remove this one actually so it won’t kill my buzz while listening to a “Musiq” playlist :)

What is the total amount of music files on your computer(s)?
On my iBook — 3167 songs (uncannily close to tara…WOW) combined, about at least 1000 more (I’ve been digitizing my vinyl as well, and if you count the music i’ve made myself…)

The last CD you bought is:
The last CD I bought was Xn.- ideas without numbers (of which i have a remix!) I do most music purchases online nowdays, and the last album i got from emusic was Kaskade’s “In The Moment”.

What is the song you last listened to before this message?
Slum Village – Al-Ta-Ment (on my way into work on the ipod)

Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:
It all depends on the time, and what kick i’m on. i’ll try to be somewhat timeless here though…this is the most difficult because i take in so much music (no, really, i absolutely *do*. some say they do…i really, really, really do), and my personality is such that the most prominent things are 99% of the time the most recent i’ve encountered.

1. 100 portraits & Waterdeep – Tender Mercies (since we’re on the subject ;)
2. People Under the Stairs – The Bomb Combo – hip hop 101
3. Yochannan - Mighty — can i name my own song? i obviously wouldn’t have made it if it didn’t mean a lot to me. :) i remember making it, and how lonely i was at the time. it meant a lot to me at the time to concentrate on the song and what i was trying to say
4. Stevie Wonder – Happier than the Morning Sun
5. Kings X – I’ll Never Get Tired of You

Name three artists/bands you adore:

1. People Under the Stairs. I absolutely pay no attention to what they talk about 80% of the time. It’s just plain stupid stuff. These guys absolutely gifted in hip hop, however.
2. Waterdeep - honest, faithful, and musicians to the core. They are dead now :( Long live Waterdeep!
3. LA Symphony. prolific, with much music never have been released, This has been the group that i’ve been closest to as far as witnessing their struggle within the music industry.

Who are you gonna pass this stick to (three persons and why)?

1. joy, because I’d be hella surprised if she did it
2. darren down under ‘cos he needs something new to post about
3. drew ‘cos he’s the homie

Thanks, Tara, for allowing me to burn into my lunch hour ;-)

c’mon let’s go!
