A Musical Baton

Update: So, I was invited to play the game yesterday by yesterdayishere.com (Bojan Janjanin).

So everybody in the web-design blog community is jumping on this Musical Baton meme…but where did it all start? Heck if I know. I first heard about it on Monday when Richard Rutter, Jon Hicks, and Jason Santa Maria all started playing the game. I followed the “who tagged who” links all the way back to a Live Journal user who claimed not to have been tagged, but was playing anyway. I thought I’d stop looking for origins at that point and do the same. It’d be interesting to see some stats on how many gigs of music the average web-designer has, since so many of us are participating. Anyway, here goes:

Total volume of music files on my computer: 12.1 Gb
…the music server at work has 66.4 Gb
(mostly rips of everyones cd collections)

The last CD I bought was:
“Believe” by Big Dismal

Song playing right now:
“Yakitori” by Yoko Kanno
(don’t ask…I didn’t enque it.)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

1. “Right Here” by Mark Wills
2. “Float On” by Modest Mouse
3. “Tutti Vogliono Viaggiare in Prima” by Ligabue
4. “Better Together” by Jack Johnson
5. “3×5″ by John Mayer

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:

1. Ray Williams – (Did It. – May 18^th)
2. Brian Reese
3. Nathan Bird – (Did It. – May 26^th)
4. Ryan Salerno – (Did It. – May 24^th)
5. Russell Tyndall
