Slightly Remarkable

Hey, maybe it should be “musical button”? That’s the Italian in me speaking, ignore him… He’s cynical.

Total Volume

I’ve got a measly 1.75GB of music on my computer. Yeah, it’s practically nothing — only 420 songs. I have, sitting next to me, a list of some 100+ names of bands (not just albums) whose music I’m interested in buying, but haven’t had a chance to purchase yet. I’m also fairly restricted on my hard drive space, since my laptop (from which I do just about all of my work) only has 40GB of disk space anyway.

Most Recent CD

Well, I ordered three CD’s in the mail a couple months back, so I got all three of them at the same time. I got Kutless (self-titled debut album), Maroon 5 (Songs About Jane), and Skillet (Collide). Kutless is kind of old, and I almost regret getting it. The songs were good at one time, but they’ve lost their effect.

Song Playing Right Now

“Bullets” by Creed from their last and most recent album, “Weathered.” (Incidentally, why isn’t Creed or Linkin Park on iTunes!?)

Five Songs

You have got to be kidding. There are more than five songs that I like a lot/listen to a lot/mean a lot to me! Jeez… Well, in no particular order…

• Clocks — Coldplay
• 45 — Shinedown
• Panama — Van Halen
• Kryptonite — 3 Doors Down
• Papercut — Linkin Park

Notables

In order to be fair to the other bands, here are some more songs that I listen to very often, again in no particular order.

Edit: Know what? You can just have a rough look at what I’ve been listening to. (Note that these stats aren’t very accurate as the Last.FM web site is down from time to time so it doesn’t record all of the songs I listen to, also I had already listened to more than twice the music that’s listed before I registered to the site.)

• Basket Case — Green Day
• Vitamin R (Leading Us Along) — Chevelle
• Bullets — Creed
• Broken — 12 Stones
• Voodoo — Godsmack
• Bring Me Down — Pillar
• So Cold — Breaking Benjamin
• Saviour — Skillet
• No Phone — Cake
• Push — Matchbox Twenty
• Pain — Jimmy Eat World
• Youth of the Nation — P.O.D.
• Self Esteem — The Offspring
• Behind Blue Eyes — Limp Bizkit
• And The Hero Will Drown — Story of the Year
• Thank You — Dido
• Welcome to My Life — Simple Plan
• Lying From You — Linkin Park
• Away From Me — Puddle of Mudd
• One — Creed
• Slither — Velvet Revolver
• Cold — Crossfade
• 88 — Sum 41
• Smooth Criminal — Alient Ant Farm
• Time Is Running Out — Muse
• Silver and Cold — A.F.I.
• Bring Me to Life — Evanescence
• Not Ready to Die — Demon Hunter

Okay, I’m done. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. You might ask how I can listen to that many songs “often”? Well, I may not have a lot of music, but my iTunes player is playing almost all day. In fact, I wake up to it (my computer is my alarm clock — how cool is that?!).

I’ve rediscovered some really awesome songs recently that I wanted to share as well.

• Inside Out — Eve6

• Sex & Candy — Marcy Playground
• December — Collective Soul
• Black Hole Sun — Soundgarden
• Red, Red Wine — UB40
