Davey reminded me that I was a month behind, and since RPM and Nikki Indigo did theirs, and I'm sure there are plenty of other people too.....

1. If you could be doing what you really want to be doing for a living, what would it be?

I would be one hellified producer with a studio adjacent to the house. Sans incidents like ones in Dubai, of course.

2. If you could slap the shit out of any famous person, alive or dead, who would it be?

That's easy. The W. Six years of pure frustration. Runner-ups include Adolph Hitler and Whitney Houston.

3. What's the dumbest decision you've made in the past 5 years?

Putting my time (and my money, damnit ) out there towards a couple of people and not getting anything in return.

4. Give up one for a year: (good) sex or (good) music.

Now you know I can't give up my music....

5. Dudes, would you rather have a big dick or a great sense of humor?

I would want to stick with what I have right now. *Rimshot*

Terrance tagged me and so did KB. I'm a sucker, yet again, for a music meme. I did it before...what's the harm in doing it again? Taking it from the top...

1. What is the total volume of musical files on your computer?
Apollo - 85.0 GB and rising.
Hermes - 32.8 GB. Most (if not all) of them are on Apollo.
ejPod - 2 GB. Doesn't take too much music to work out to.

2. What song are you listening to right now?
Avalanches - Since I Met You.

3. Last CD I bought?
Afterdark - Chicago from the rekkasto, Natalie from Amazon.

4. Five songs you listen to a lot and which mean something to you:

Just five? Let's make it 10.

The newer cuts:
Ivana Santilli - You're So You. Played this cut to death after Todd kept singing it, and singing it, and singing it....
Teedra Moses - Caught Up. My favorite cut off the album, don't care who tells you anything different. It's gotta be the guitar and the keys in the high register. It's intoxicating. There's another one, but I won't present that one yet.
Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist. This track is wild! That boy needs therapy!
Michael Johnson - Do It. He's so smooth.
Platinum Pied Pipers feat. Steve Spacek - No Worries. Anything from PPP right now thrills me. This one grew on me and now won't go away.

The old school/not so new cuts:
Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information. I can't describe it. I think I played this song to death, seriously.
Soul II Soul - Missing You. Ditto on this one. IMHO one of the best British cuts from back in the day out there.
Bill Withers - Let Me Be The One You Need. Love the way he whines.
Chuckii Booker - You Don't Know. One of the cuts that never got airplay.
Troop - You Take My Heart With You - One of those cuts that they should have released.

Tags.
Stephen Charles. Curious to see what he's up to.
Chandrasutra. Ditto for Chandra.
Humanity Critic. Gotta see what's in his head.
Will. Because I have to do it to him.
Golden. Where you at?

Can I go outside now?

I swear, it's been mad busy for me in the last week or so, but I finally got a reprieve. I finally got to see Star Wars, and finally get to catch up on my blog reading. That's two out of three....now I've gotta catch up with the memes. I've been tagged.:

From Metaphyzxx: 10 of my favorite things, in no particular order:
10. Headphones at work.
9. Welch's Berry Punch. Three cartons a week, easily.
8. Listening to MP3s in my car. It's the hotness.
7. Coming up with playlists.
6. Mornings. Watching the sunrise is mad cool.
5. Nathan's beef hot dogs with cheddar cheese. Don't hate.
4. My laptop, Hermes.
3. Reading blogs. Some people read books, me? I'm a blog fiend.
2. Sweatpants and t-shirts.
1. Springtime weather. Not too hot, not too cold.

Seven people to call out on this one: Will (done), Frank, Tony, Todd (done), Yolie (done), Kelvin (done), and KB (done), since he called me on one I did before. I'll have to do an updated one soon. It's about that time.
