Intercepting the Music Baton

So, it looks as though there's a possibility we'll be leaving the state a week from Friday. If everything works out with the house, that is.

In light of that statement, along with my previous post, I'm going to play the music game even though I haven't been officially invited to join in. I could use the distraction.

Amount of music on your computer:
On our computer at home, I think we have about 9 days worth of music. Not sure how that translates into computer lingo.

Currently listening to:
Clothes turning in the dryer. But the past few weeks I've been alternating between Nickel Creek's Why Should the Fire Die? and Charlie Hall's On the Road to Beautiful.

Five songs that mean a lot to you:

"The Color Green," by Rich Mullins

"Something in the Way She Moves," by James Taylor

"Cathedrals," by Jump Little Children

"Sweet Lorraine," by Patty Griffin

"Language or the Kiss," by the Indigo Girls

Honorable Mention would be "#15," by our very own Days of Lot

Top five albums:

Living with Ghosts by Patty Griffin

Ten by Pearl Jam

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morisette

A Liturgy, A Legacy, and a Ragamuffin Band by Rich Mullins. A close second would be The World as Best as I can Remember It.

Room for Squares by John Mayer (remember the days when John Mayer wasn't a mega star? This album reminds me of fall in Montgomery.)

Last album bought:
Devils and Dust by Bruce Springsteen

Recent discoveries:
Rather than listing recent discoveries, I'm creating a new list: Favorite Bands Not Otherwise Mentioned
The Be Good Tanyas
Eastmountainsouth
Derek Webb
Howie Day
Jennifer Knapp
Nickel Creek
Norah Jones
Switchfoot
U2

PS - You keep reminding me of songs/albums/artists I love and forgot to mention. Another album: Coming to Life by The Normals.

I guess it's no longer an interception, since Mary passed the baton along to me. Also, "Sunday Morning" by Sandra McCracken should be somewhere on my list, too.

It's really not fair to make people like us narrow it down like this.

I agree, Valerie. The better question would be, top 100 songs, top 20 albums ...

Glad you've joined the games! Fun . . . I hear Nickel Creek's latest is wonderful. I'll check it out.

I should've mentioned Jagged Little Pill, too. The hidden track is my favorite!

Where are you going?

Hey Mary,

I plan on keeping up with the blogworld, though you probably won't hear from me quite as much as you do right now. Most public libraries have internet access, too.
