I’ve been passed a musical baton by Richard, and how can I resist?

Total volume of music files on my computer: 19.48 Gb.

The last CD I bought was:
“Talking Voice vs Singing Voice” by Starflyer 59. Although I’m about to buy “Open Season” by British Sea Power.

Song playing right now:
Little Sister by Rufus Wainwright (very ‘poncey’)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
Like Richard, this is more a case of recent rotation:

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
Neil Lee
Leigh
John Oxton
Dan Cederholm
Jason Santa Maria
(apologies if you’ve already been ‘got’)

British Sea Power is excellent, and their debut CD, “The Decline Of British Sea Power” is excellent as well. Highly recommended.

All you baton passers should hook us lazy reader-folk up with links to the iTunes music store (or band site or whatever) so we can easily:

a) hear the music you are writing about (clapping with one hand?)
b) support the artists that cool bloggers like (like Rufus, who rocks, and it’s weird that both you and your passer were listening to him)

If you haven’t already heard it Jon, i would recommend listening to the Kings of conveniences debut album Quiet is the new loud. Much better overall than the follow-up. Those norwegians really make beautiful music. :)

Holy cow… this music baton thing is on fire! I think about half the blogs I read daily have had their own stab at the baton.

It’s interesting to retrace the steps your baton has taken, yours goes all the way back to some random livejournal people!

What the hell is this thing with “musical batom”? I’ve been jumping from link to link, in many blogs, but it still a mistery to me… Can somebody please tell me what I miss out?

i followed the links all the way back to here – about half way along the line it splits because someone was nominated by two at the same time.
