Baton crumbs
The lovely Elmo has passed a meme baton to me. I’m a bit confused though — if everyone passes the baton to three people, surely they only get a piece of it? And each of those pieces gets broken up, and so on and so forth.
So here’s my tiny crumb of meme baton.
-
What’s the total size of music files on your computer?
I’m not sure… only a few gigabytes. It’s about quality, not quantity.
-
What is the last CD you bought?
I bought two at the same time. “Coral Fang” by the Distillers, and the now disbanded Capital City’s “Capital City vs the Bangkok Ladyboys.”
-
What is the last song you listened to before you read this post?
I listened to the radio in the car on the way home from work yesterday, but I can’t remember what songs they played. That’s actually very annoying, because I can hum the tune of one song that I really like — every time I hear it, I try to remember who and what it is, but I can’t. That’s six or seven times I’ve forgotten.
The last song I can remember listening to is A Guide to Being Knifey’s Wifey. You should listen to it; likewise, Pseudo Lesbian Girl. And if I could be so bold as to make a suggestion for the next song: Tillops’ election jingle.

Name four songs that you listen to a lot or that mean a lot to you.
This is a toughie. Okay, first would have to be Weezer’s “O Girlfriend,” which I listened to a lot while Manas was in East Timor. I missed her a lot, therefore emo was my friend.
Second, Propagandhi’s “Resisting Tyrannical Government,” which provided the title for this blog.
Third, from the ashes of Propagandhi rose the phoenix of the Weakerthans. And “Plea from a Cat Named Virtue” is just delightful.
And I can’t have a list like this without a dash of Pearl Jam. At the moment my fave is “Red Mosquito.”

Which three people are you passing the baton on to and why?
(Pieces of baton, remember?)
Manas, just because.
Sunili, because she hasn’t posted in ages and I want to laugh at her musical taste again.
Tillops, because he’s been given the blogosphere’s ALP leadership baton and the public deserves some answers.
Tried it, but the line turned up a million hits that were obviously wrong. And now I’ve forgotten even that… :-/
I don’t think Tillops has been given the blogosphere’s ALP leadership baton. I think if anything the blogosphere’s ALP leadership baton is likewise fragmenting.
See Rob, I ran through a few calculations last Friday night with the Buckster, and whatever a certain loud-voiced young lady might have to say about the matter, she is no a kingmaker. Right now I reckon you’ve got the numbers. It’ll go down to the wire, but it’s time to toss your hat in the ring.
And other assorted cliches.
I thought so, too, Joseph, but Fudd ratted on me so I’ll just have to bide my time…
To Rob Corr, if he’s reading
Rob, I wanted to leave a sarcastic remark on this post of yours but I’ve been unable to leave any comments at all since you moved over to Wordpress. Any idea what might be going on there?…
Pick a more obscure line, that tends to narrow the feild enough.
It’s about quality, not quantity.
Said the man who once admitted to having a Jet mp3 on his Ipod…
Low blow. I was using the iPod to move the song from one computer to another, for Manas’s sister.
