musak to mine ears

1. total number of records i own on cd (or vinyl or cassette):

when i was little i had a vinyl record player and my favorite record was 'alvin and the chipmunks'...
it had classics which included, "witchdoctor", "america the beautiful", "supercalifragilisticexpialidious", and several more...
alas, i don't have it anymore...

total number of cd's i own.... last count, i believe it was around 400 cds... something like that..
from the things i've done and consumed, i could have been a (insert choice addiction, for example: video game) junkie...
but for whatever quirky reason, my body refused to become addicted to anything... (perhaps i'm just really that lazy.. which is quite sad if i think about it...)
however~! the one thing i did get obsessed with was cd collecting...

2. total volume of music files on my computer:

10,500 songs... give or take 20 low-bitrate crap...

3. the last record i bought:

a corean album by the group "resurrection" (부활)....
i long for the days when artists were really artists and they wrote their own songs...
and every song on the album was a 4 minute journey of pleasure for the ear to embark on...
(or maybe that was the pot talking...)
instead of these half-assed hacks who are whining about people ripping them off by spreading mp3's...
maybe if they'd really take the effort to produce real music, i'd consider them worth my 12 dollars...
before resurrection's album, the next two most recent cd's i bought were eminem's... how sad is that??...
it's ironic... those artists who i'd really want to spend 12 dollars for a cd, don't even have a record out...

4. the last record listened to / song playing now:

mozart's symphony no 25 in gminor k183, 1st movement
no, i don't use classical music as a sleeping aid... i actually enjoy it...
it actually gets the juices in the brain flowing and motivates me to get off my fat ass to get working...

vivaldi's nulla in mundo pax sincera, popularized from the movie 'shine'... great movie, by the way..

bobby darin's 'beyond the sea'... although i prefer bobby caldwell's version...
it's just one of those songs u cannot help humming and swaying to when it starts up...

have i gone soft, u ask?? are my head banging days over??
nah... they've only diminished in number..
once in awhile i still enjoy obnoxiously loud measures.. lately in the car, where singing is optimum

5. five records that I listen to a lot or that mean a lot to me (either singles or albums):

enya - shepard moons album... what happens in l.a. stays there. enough said.

beethoven - symphony no 9 Dm op 125 - 4th movement... the ode to joy movement. if this doesn't move ya, i don't know wut will

dj doc (corean) - any of their hits... they're fun, with the times, and best of all, they're not always politically correct~!!

bobby caldwell's version of 'beyond the sea'... good feelings of hopelessly falling head over heels in love~

al pacino.... i like his monologues..

6. tag five people to do this meme... (i didn't want to limit myself to only people)

buddha
lucifer
