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. ;)
