I’ve dropped the musical baton twice now: once from Cathy and now from bsag. It’s just that I don’t do memes, never have done. In fact, this entry is the first one to ever mention the word “meme” [erm, just now, since I wrote “memes” in the previous sentence] on this site [quite possibly because it’s a silly word that I want to rhyme with “hem” rather than “dream”, but perhaps more to do with an innate rebellion against anything which overtly influences what I write about]—given the predilection that weblogs have to memes, this is in itself achievement for one that’ll be three years old this Saturday.

So, sorry chaps for not divulging-on-demand the musical content of my PC—and now I can’t even write an entry along those lines for the next few months, for fear of completely contradicting myself.

Sorry :-) I suppose I should have checked people’s stance on memes (sorry) before dumping this on them. I have to say that I don’t usually do them either, but this one just tickled my fancy. I think I’m afflicted with a touch of the Nick-Hornbys as far as music goes. If I was ever on Desert Island Discs (chance would be a fine thing), I would take it very seriously, and probably agonise over my selection for weeks.

You mean it doesn’t rhyme with hem? :)

Re #1: I ought to say, I’ve nothing against other people doing them, and usually enjoy learning something new about someone; I particularly like your answers because you actually go to the trouble of explaining some of them.

And I’ve a sneaky feeling this particular meme [nngh] was started by someone at the RIAA to easily discover people with large volumes of digital media—they’ll then challenge these people to produce proof that they’ve purchased every item on their hard drive. ;)
